Abstract:

Sixteen indexes of wax gourd wines made from 11 yeasts, including physicochemicals, nutrients and antioxidation capabilities were determined in the study. The qualities of the wax gourd wines were evaluated by principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). The results of PCA showed that the first five components represented 89.188% of the total variability on the base of the total variance explained and screen plot of principal component analysis. The hydroxyl radicals (·OH) scavenging capacity, superoxide radicals contents scavenging capacities, turbidity value, clarity, tonality values, soluble sugars, soluble reducing sugars, alcohol degrees, and contents of total soluble solids (SSC) were the main parameters for evaluating the quality of wax gourd wines. On the basis of composite score ranking, yeasts numbered BV818 and F45 were proposed. Wax gourd wines made from the 11 yeasts were classified into three main groups by CA through measured parameters, which was consistent with PCA results. This research is useful to select appropriate yeasts and processing wax gourd wines.

Key words: wax gourd wine, quality, principal component analysis, cluster analysis, evaluation
