Effect of Blending Seeds on Chemical Characteristics of Black Raspberry Wine Fermentation

摘要

Black raspberry was fermented with or without seeds. Chemical characteristics were analyzed during wine fermentation. pH of black raspberry wine decreased in the early stage of the fermentation and thereafter increased. Total acidity increased until the 4th day of fermentation with little change afterwards. Both pH and acidity were not affected by the blending of the seeds. Sugar concentration decreased and alcohol concentration increased during the fermentation, and they were not influenced by the blending of the seeds. L*, a*, and b* values of black raspberry wines tended to increase until the 12th day of the fermentation and decreased or little changed thereafter. L*, a*, and b* values of black raspberry wines made from the fruits with seeds (BRSW) were lower than those of black raspberry wines without seeds (BRW) with no significance. Monomeric anthocyanin (MA) and polyphenol contents (PC) decreased during fermentation. MA was not significantly influenced by the blending of the seeds. PC in BRSW were higher than those in BRW with no significance. Alcohols were the major volatile components, and there were no differences between alcohol compositions in the two wines. There were also no differences in color, flavor, taste and overall acceptability in sensory characteristics. Similarity in the chemical characteristics between the BRSW and BRW suggests that development of black raspberry wine with seeds blended is possible.
