Abstract:

Sixty-five yeast strains were isolated from orchard soil and cashew apples. A yeast strain with excellent performance for the fermentation of cashew apple wine was selected and designated as D1B2 strain. This strain exhibited powerful gasproducing and fermentation capabilities under the conditions of 300 mg/L SO2 and pH 1.16. The flavor of cashew apple wine fermented by this yeast was similar with that of fresh fruits.

Key words: cashew apple wine, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, separation, screening
