ABSTRACT

Juice was extracted from banana Musa sapientum pulp with the addition of lemon juice and was inoculated with Bakers yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and held at 30 for seven days. The result of the yeast count increases at 48hr, and at 96hr the yeast count decreased gradually. It ranges from 4.9x10⁷ cfu/ml at 0hr, 5.1x10⁷ at the 48hr and 4.8x10⁷ cfu/ml at 168hr. The pH of the Banana wine produced at the end of fermentation decreased 2.85 while the titrable acidity of the Banana wine produced increased. The total dissolved solids, total suspended solids decreased with increasing length of fermentation of juice. The alcohol content of the wine increased with 14. The result obtained from the sensory evaluation by ten panelist shows overall acceptance of the wine produced.

INTRODUCTION

Wine is a product of alcoholic fermentation by yeast of the juice of ripe grapes or any fruit with a good proportion of sugar Brook and Madigan, 2003; Okafor, 2007. Wine is one of the most recognizable high value added products from fruits. It can also be used as a substrate for the manufacture of vinegar, a byproduct of wine manufacture.
