Abstract: This article studied the technology of malolactic fermentation (MLF) for cidermaking. It indicated that the optimum MLF would be accmoplished after sequential inoculation, fermented at 20℃, and inoculated with 6×106cfu/ml. With the least little acetic acid produced during the fermentation. And malolactic fermentation could still finish when the concentration of malic acid reach 6676.95mg/L. All ciders made under this technology were of softer mouth-feel and better taste than the cider samples without malolacticf ermentation.

Key words: cidermaking, lactic acid bacteria, malolactic fermentation, technology
