Accepted 29 November, 2011 The potential of wine production from guava is presented in this review. Guava is easy to culture, posseses high nutritive value and its products like juices, beverages, nectars etc. are largely appreciated by the consumers. Guava juice requires ‘chaptalization’ so as to adjust its Brix and prepare a perfect wine out of it. The chaptalized juice (“must”) is treated with pectinase or a combination of enzymes and fermented with traditional yeasts at a temperature range of 22 to 30°C and inoculum size of 6 to 11% (v/v). The addition of N and P improves ethanol production and quality parameters of guava wine. Racking and ageing of guava wine also improves the sensory and organoleptic characteristics of guava wine.

INTRODUCTION The nutritional role of wine is important since its average contribution to total energy intake is estimated to be 10 to 20% among adult males (Macrae et al., 1993). During the past few decades, grapes have been the main fruit for wine production. Despite that, several studies have investigated the suitability of other fruits as substrates for the purpose of wine production (Okunowo et al., 2005; Joshi and Attri, 2005). Moreover, the seasonal availability and high cost of grapes in the tropical regions has also necessitated the search for alternative fruit sources in tropical countries (Alobo and Offonry, 2009). There is abundance of tropical fruits in India which includes guava, watermelon, pineapple, plum, orange etc. These fruits are highly perishable, being susceptible to bacterial and fungal contamination, thus leading to their spoilage, mechanical damage and over ripeness (Ihekoroye and Ngoddy, 1985). Hence, these fruits are difficult to keep for long and are utilized either as fresh or processed into juice and speciality products (Oyeleke and Olaniyan, 2007). High rate wastage of these fruits especially at their peak of production season necessitates the need for *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected].

GUAVA AS A WINE SUBSTRATE Guava (Psidium guajava L.) (Family Myrtaceae) is one of the most important fruits in India. It is one of the exotic fruits prized for its very pleasant, sub acidic and aromatic pulp. Guava, known as the poor man's apple of the tropics, has a long history of traditional use, much of which is being validated by scientific research. It is fourth most important fruit in India after citrus, mango and banana and second in the state of Punjab after kinnow with an annual production of 1.5 lakh MT (Stat. abs. Pb, 2009). It ranks sixth in terms of acerage under different fruits in this country and is grown in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra at large scale. Guava has great potential for extensive commercial use because of its ease of culture, high nutritive value and popularity of processed Guava products. While ripe fruit is usually eaten as a dessert, processed products like juices, nectar, jam, jellies, baby foods, puree, beverage base, syrup and wine are also prepared from guava (Shankar et al., 2006).

Fermentedguavafruitisalsohelpfulincuringdiabetes (Kavimani et al., 1997). Besides, Guava is a good source ofvitaminC,carbohydrates,proteins,minerals,pectin, calciumandphosphorus(Gargetal.,2007).Thefruit contains high concentration of vitamin A (200to400IU), ascorbicacid(88.2to250.8mg/100g),lycopene(45.3 g/gFW),totalsugars(10to15.3%),reducingsugars (2.05 to 6.08%), acids (10 to 15.3%), pectins (0.62%) and phenols (170 to345 GAE/g FW) (Kaur et al., 2009). CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GUAVA Total soluble solids Solublesolidsarethebasicrequirementforthefunction ofguavaoranyotherfruitforwineproduction.Ithas been reported that in white and pink seedling varieties of guava,thechiefsugarcomponentsarefructoseand sucrose(MowlahandItoo,1982).TheTSScontentin differentvarieties(Hafsi,Applecolor,Allahabad Safeda, Sardar, Red fleshed guava, L-49) varies from 8.0to15.0%(Chatterjeeetal.,1992;Singh,1998; Pandey and Singh,1998).Sharma et al. (2010) reported thatthetotalsolublesolidsrangedfrom9.4to13.5Bin 22 genotypes of guava.Individualsugarconcentrationhasbeenfoundto increasegraduallywithfruitgrowthanddevelopment except during the end of the growth period (Rodriguez et al.,1971).Themaximumlevelisfoundtobevaryfrom 5.64 to 7.67, 1.90 to 8.00 and 6.20 to 7.78 mg/ 100 ml of juice for fructose, glucose and sucrose, respectively, in all the cultivars studied by Rashida et al.(1997). In 126 days oldcultivarsofShambati,Pakistani,Shendiand Ganib,fructoserepresented20,38,37and41%, glucoserepresentedaround59,23,25and14%and sucroserepresentedaround21,39,37and45%ofthe totalsugarforthecultivars,respectively(Sharmaetal., 2010).Wefoundreducingsugarscontentof3.40,3.29 and 3.68% in Punjab pink, Arka Amulya and Lucknow-49, respectively(Pooja,2011).TheTSSandfermentable sugarspresentindifferentcultivarsofguavaavailablein literature,thusindicatethatitrequireschaptalization (supplementationofsugars)beforeitisusedforwine production. Titrable acidity Titrable acidityis an asset for the fruits destined for wine production as it provides a conducive environment tothe yeasts. Guava is a sub acidic fruit as its soluble solids are composedmainlyoforganicacidsandsugars.The guava pulp possesses a total acidityof0.3 to 0.8% (w/v) ingeneralwithinterspeciesdifferences.Inguava cultivars(SpearAcid,HisarSafeda,Lucknow-49, Patillo,Punjabpink,ArkaAmulya)acidityhasbeen foundtobeintherangeof0.37to0.96%(Jainand Nema,2007;Sharmaetal.,2010;Pooja,2011).Aulakh (2004) found that the amountof titrable acidityincreases continuously from 30 days after fruit set to 135 days after fruitsetinwinterseason(0.31to0.62%).Similarly, duringrainyseasonitwasfoundtoincreaseupto0.58 from0.28%at110daysafterthefruitset.Theorganic acids(0.3to0.8%)contributingtoacidityinGuavaare mainly citric, malic, glycolic, tartaric and lactic acids (Hui, 2006).Further,aciditywasfoundtobeseason dependentwithAllahabadSafedaandSardarguava cultivarsshowing0.25and0.19%duringrainyseason and 0.31 and 0.33% during winter season crop.The major organic acids in guava pulp have been found tobecitric,malic,glycolic,aceticandlacticacids. ArchanaandSiddiqui(2004)foundthataceticacid rangedfrom55.40to122.13molkg-1.Quantitative determinationsusingsuccinicacidasaninternal standardshowedthatcitricandmalicacidarechief organic acids with lactic acid in smaller quantities among cultivatedguavas.However,inwildguavas,citricacid wasthepredominantacid,withlesseramountsofmalic andlactic acids (Chan etal., 1971). Fifty one acids have beenidentifiedinguava(P.guajavaL.)with(E)-cinnamoicacid(0.4mg/kg)and(Z)-3-hexenoicacid(0.2 mg/kg) as major constituents (Idstein et al., 1985). Ascorbic acid VitaminC(L-ascorbicacid)isthelactone2,3-dienol-L-gluconic acid and it belongs to the water soluble class of vitamins. Humans need a daily intake of 30 to 45 mg per daywhiledeficiencyofthisvitaminleadstoscurvy. Though,orangesarewellknownasfruitsrichinvitamin C but guava is far superior with vitamin C content three to six times higher than that in orange.Also,Whitefleshedguavaisreportedtobeabetter sourceofvitaminC(142.6mg/100g)thanpinkfleshed guavaandisalsorichinotherantioxidantssuchas phenolicsand-carotenes.ThevitaminCcontentvaries widely depending on the cultivar as ascorbic acid content of guava cultivars ranges from 149.0 to 250 mg per 100 g ofpulp(PandeyandSingh,1998;BalandDhaliwal, 2004; Thaipong and Boonprakob, 2005).Thaipong et al. (2005) observed highest vitamin C content in Fan Retief (397 mg/100 g FW). In our studies, ascorbic acid content rangedfrom169.7to229.6mg/100gDWinthree varieties of guava (Pooja, 2011). Pectin Guavacontainshighcontentofpectin(astructural heteropolysaccharidecontainedin the primary cell walls ofterrestrialplants),celluloseandhemicellulose.Pectin contentrangesbetween0.47to100%indifferent varieties(Allahabadsafeda,Banarsisurkh,Lucknow-49,ShambatiandShendi)ofguava(Rodriguezetal., 1971,1997;Pandaetal.,2009).Further,totalpectinfor differentcultivarssignificantlyincreaseswithfruitgrowth anddevelopment.InPakistaniandGanibcultivars,it was found to reach its maximum when the fruits were 106 days old. High content of pectin causes problems in juice extractionwhichresultsinunclarifiedjuiceleadingto hazinessinproducedwine.Hence,toincreasethejuice extractionandforproductionofclearwine,apectinase enzyme pre-treatment is necessary. PREPARATION OF WINE FROM GUAVA Pre-fermentation treatment Commerciallyavailableenzymeshavebeenwidelyused in the oenological industry in wine- producing countries to improveimportantcharacteristicsofwines,suchas aromaandcolour.Theyareusedtoincreasethegrape mustyieldduringpressing,facilitatethesettlingof musts,andimproveclarificationandfiltration.Theuse ofpectolyticenzymeshasbeenshowntobesuitableto improve the extraction of colour in red wines (Revilla and Gonzlez,2003;Bautista-Ortnetal.,2005),aroma compounds(Cabarogluetal.,2003)andsoluble polysaccharides(Docoetal.,2007)fromtheskinsand pulpofthegrapes.Oneofthemoststudiedandwidely used commercial pectinases is polygalacturonase.Commercialpreparationscontainingpectinases, arabinaseandcellulasehavealsobeenemployedfor guavajuiceextraction(Kashyapetal.,2001).Besides, pectinaseshavealsobeenusedtoclearthehazein finished wines and hence clear the wine.Ahmadetal.(2009)reportedthatmaximumyield (85.1%)andclarity(93.5%)wereobtainedusing0.245% pectinase,0.135%cellulaseand0.13%hemicellulaseat 50Cfor9.25hincubation.Asimilareffectwasalso reportedbyDiwanandShukla(2005)inenzymically hydrolyzedGuavapulpunderdifferentsetofconditions. Kauretal.(2009)recommendedoptimizedenzymatic treatmentconditionsasenzymeconcentration0.70 mg/100gGuavapulp,incubationtime(7.27h)and incubation temperature of 43.3C.Pectinaseshavealsobeenshowntobeaffectedby temperature andtime of enzyme treatment as increasing exposure time elevates yield but also causes a reduction inascorbicacidcontentofthejuiceduetoitsoxidation (Imungi et al., 1980). Thus, pectinase has been shown to affecttheoenologicalpropertiesofwines.However,the effectofpectolyticenzymesusingmustfromsun-dried grapesofthePedroXimenezvarietyonoenological parametersbeforeandafterenzymatictreatmentswith pre-fermentative maceration at room temperature forKocher and Pooja853 threehoursrevealedthattheenzymetreatmenthadno effectontotalpolyphenolsandotherchemical characteristics (Espejo and.

It has beenestablishedthatthegrowthofyeastduring fermentationdependsonthemediacomposition (substrate),theinitiallevelsofpH,temperatureand dissolved oxygen (Ruiz et al., 2004). Theselectionofagoodyeaststrainhavingdesirable properties is a prerequisite for the quality wine production (Degree,1993).EnologicaltraitsofS.cerevisiaehave beendividedintotwogroups,thatis,technologicaland qualitative, and both groups have to be considered in the selectionofwineyeasts.Thetechnologicalones influencethefermentationefficiency,andthequalitative onesdeterminethechemicalcompositionandsensorial characteristics of wines.

Effect of temperature Temperature can affect the sensitivity of yeasts to alcohol concentration,growthrate,rateoffermentation,viability, length of lag phase, enzyme and membrane function, etc. Becauseyeaststrainsdifferinresponsetotemperature, theoptimumtemperatureforvinificationcanvarywidely. Torijaetal.(2001)observedamixedresponseto fermentationtemperature(15to35C)onmixedstrain populationofS.cerevisiae.Alcoholyieldwashigherat higher temperature while at lower temperature secondary metabolitessuchasvolatiles,esters,glyceroletc. increased(Roehr,2001;Torijaetal.,2003;Pramanik, 2003;Robinson,2006).Fermentationsconductedunder lowtemperaturesenableariseinproductionandaroma retention,whichmayfavoranimprovementinthe aromaticprofileofthewine(Torijaetal.,2003).Thisis becausefermentationsalteryeastnitrogentransportand metabolismthushamperingthecoordinationbetween carbonandnitrogenmetabolismsatlowtemperatures (Beltranetal.,2007).Ontheotherhand,high temperaturemaydisruptenzymeandmembrane functions,resultinginstuckfermentation(Seneretal., 2007).Fermentationathighertemperaturesmayhave adverseeffectonthewineinstunningtheyeastto inactivity and even "boiling off some of the flavors of the wines.Amongthedifferentreportsavailableinliteratureon guavafermentation,atemperaturerangeof25to30C hasbeenreportedfordifferentvarieties(Srivastava, 1997;Shankaretal.,2006;YuandZhang,2008;Sevda andRodrigues,2011;Pooja,2011).Sevdaand Rodrigues(2011)reportedthatforS.cervisiaeNCIM 3095,themaximumethanolproductionis7.784%(v/v) at25CandforNCIM3287,themaximumethanol production is 8.396% (v/v) at 25C.High temperature shift (Heat shock) has been used for increasing glycerol production byyeast which contributes towardssmoothmouthfeelinguavawineproduction (SevdaandRodrigues,2011).Amongthetemperature range (15 to 35C) studied by us, the results revealed the maximumethanolproductionof11.1,11and11%at 25Cinthreeguavavarietiesviz.Punjabpink,Arka amulya and Lucknow-49, respectively (Pooja, 2011).

ApHlevelof4.0to5.0wasfoundtobeoptimumfor guavamustfermentationinotherstudiestoo(Yuand Zhang,2008;Shankaretal.,2006;Sevdaand Rodrigues, 2011). Effect of initial sugar level Theconcentrationofinitialsugarsisanimportant parameterinthefinalethanolproductionanditssensory quality.Ithasbeenobservedthatinitialsugarlevelof juicegreatlyaffectstherateoffermentation.Useof concentrated sugar substrate is one of the ways to obtain highethanolyieldduringfermentation.However,high substrateconcentrationsareinhibitorytofermentation duetoosmoticstress(Jonesetal.,1981).Thereare reportsthathighsugarsensitivity(osmotolerance)inS. cerevisaeisduetohigherintracellularaccumulationof ethanol(StrchaianoandGoma,1983).Differentstrains presentvariablelevelsoftolerancetothisaccumulating ethanolandhencetheirrequirementofdifferentinitial sugar concentration for fermentation. In some strains, this levelisjust10to15%(Praminik,2003;Asli,2010)and thishasbeenobservedinguavafermentationalso (Cheema,1989;Srivastavaetal.,1997).However,initial sugarsashighas25to30%havealsobeenemployed successfullyforethanolicfermentation(Bertolinietal., 1991).Inguava,weoptimized25%(w/v),Sevdaand Rodriguez (2011)optimized 20 to22% (w/v) andYuand Zhang(2008)optimized20%(w/v)asinitialsugar concentration for guava wine production.

SimilartrendshavealsobeenreportedbySinghand Kaur (2009) where they observed 10% (v/v) as optimized inoculum level for litchi wine production.Kocher and Pooja855 Inguava,Srivastavaetal.(1997)reportedthat10% inoculum size added in non chaptalized guava pulp led to the production of 5.8% ethanol (w/v) by S. cerevisae.An optimizedinoculumlevelof10%v/vforalcoholic fermentation of jamun, plum, apple, pear juice, guava and 7.5% inoculum size for kinnow wine production has been observedinotherresearchreports(Tewarietal.,1987; Cheema, 1989; Panesar et al., 2009). Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus sources Theintrinsicimportanceofassimilablenitrogentoyeast growth and metabolism is a well known recognized fact in winemaking.Factorssuchasthejuicecompositionand thekindoftheyeaststraincanaffecttheassimilationof thenitrogenouscompounds(Colombietal.,2007; Manginotetal.,1998)asthemetabolismofaminoacids can affect the efficiency of the alcoholic fermentation and thequalityoftheproduct(Berthelsetal.,2004). Imbalances and in particular deficiencies in the supplyof assimiablenitrogencompoundshasremainedasthe mostcommoncausesofstuck/sluggishfermentation. Presence of sufficient amount of nitrogen in the fruit juice isreportedtoenhancetheyeastgrowthandsugar catabolicrate.However,additionofexcessNandP sourcecaninhibitthefermentationprocess.Hence addition of N and P sources in an optimum quantity is an important fermentation parameter. Further,fermentationprocessnotonlydependsupon thequantityofNandPadded,butalsoonthequalityof thesesupplements.Variousnitrogenandphosphorus sourceslikeammoniumsulphate,diammonium phosphate,potassiumdihyrogenphosphate,di potassiumhygrogenphosphate,aminoacids,etc.have been used to carry out fermentation efficiently and rapidly in different fruit wine fermentations (Ough, 1991; Shankar et al., 2006; Soni et al., 2009; Asli, 2010; Pooja, 2011).Ithasbeenfoundthatdi-ammoniumhydrogenortho phosphate(DAHP)supplementationimprovesthewine colour,totalacids,bouquet,taste,aromaandoverall sensoryquality.Shankaretal.(2006)reportedthatwine producedfromGuavapulp(1:4dilutionwithwater)with 0.1%DAHPsupplementionwasbetterinitssensory attributesandhadthehighpercentageethanolthanthe non supplemented one.

The crude wine obtained after fermentation containsyeast,proteinhazes,residualsugarsanddoes nothavecompletequality(sensory)attributes.Hence,it requirespostfermentativetreatments(finishing)tomake a wine potable. In fact, there are five goals of "finishing" a wine:clarity,stability,compositionaladjustment,possible blendingandpackaging.Itisimportant,especiallyin white wines like guavawine, that thewine at the point of consumption should not be cloudy or contain any haze or precipitate.Itisalsoimportanttopreventunwanted microbialgrowthfromoccurringinthewineafterthe primary fermentation is complete as exposure to air (after CO2blankethasdissipated)willaffecttheflavorand aroma profile (Robinson, 2003). Racking Racking is theprocess of siphoning thewineinto anew, cleanbarrel.Rackingallowsclarificationandaidsin stabilization. Wine that is allowed to age on the lees often develops"off-tastes".Arackinghoseortubingisused and canbeattachedtoa racking coneto make this task easier.Therackingprocessisrepeatedseveraltimes during the aging ofwine. Repeated racking produces the clarityrequiredinwine,especiallyifitisagedinabarrel (Robinson,2003).Besidesclarification,rackingalso provides suitable conditions for oxygen to dissolveinthe wine,ataratevaryingfrom2.5to5mg/L.Oxygen eliminatescertainunpleasantreductionodors(H2S),as wellasiron(ferriccasse)andisalsoresponsiblefor intensifyingcolorofwine(Ribereau-Gayonetal.,2000).
