ABSTRACT
Soursop was cleaned, peeled, decored,
deseeded, the pulp was blended and filtered to extract the juice which was
fermented with Palm wine yeast (PMY) and commercial baker's yeast (BKY) at
ambient temperature for 14 days. Sucrose and Potassium metabisulphite were
added to the Must. The Must was inoculated with Palm Wine Yeast and Baker's
Yeast and was allowed to ferment. Sensory evaluation was also carried out to
determine how 20 panelists scored the produced wines on a 9 point hedonic scale
with a commercial table wine (Don Morris Wine). The percentage alcohol yield
from the Palm Wine Yeast and Baker's Yeast were 12.8% and 11.2% respectively.
The pH of the wines ranged from 5.3 to 3.3 and 3.4 respectively, Titratable
Acidity were 0.92% and 0.90% respectively. The Specific Gravity was 0.911 and
0.924 respectively. This showed that, though both yeast has potential for wine
production from tropical fruits, the efficiency of the Palm Wine yeast was
greater than the Baker's Yeast. When presented to twenty panelists for sensory
evaluation, Soursop wines compared well with no significant difference
(P>0.05) in aroma, colour and acceptability. This study can serve as a
precursor for the production of table wine from Soursop and other of our
tropical and sub tropical fruits that are wasting due to lack of adequate preservative
methods.
