Abstract: This study compared the fermentative characteristics of 6 strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from western area of Inner Mongolia. Firstly, the resistances of these strains on alcohol, SO2, low temperature, low pH, glucose and salt were tested;then fermentative experiment was performed by seeding these strains respectively into grape juice, the following physical and chemical indexes were measured and compared:the fermenting power of these strains, the alcoholic strength, the residual sugar, the content of total acid and volatile acid in fermentation liquor. On the basis of above experimental results, 2 strains of S. cerevisiae with excellent fermentative characteristics were screened, and they are expected to be utilized in producing indigenous wine in the western area of Inner Mongolia.

Key words: wine, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, fermentative characteristics
