Film-forming yeasts are potential sources of defects in alcoholic beverages. The aim of this study is to assess the growth capacity of Pichia and Candida film-forming yeasts in cider and wine and the effects on their chemical composition. Cider, partially and fully fermented wine were inoculated with strains of C. californica, P. fermentans, P. kluyveri, P. kudriavzevii, P. manshurica, and P. membranifaciens to simulate a post-fermentative contamination. The former three species grew only in cider. Pichia manshurica and P. kudriavzevii displayed high viability in wine up to 13.18% (v v-1) ethanol. Significant changes in odour-active molecules from different chemical groups were observed in cider and wine in the inoculated samples, compared to the non-inoculated ones. Cider is more susceptible to contamination by all of the species tested, due to its low alcohol content, while P. membranifaciens, P. manshurica, and P. kudriavzevii are additionally potential spoilage agents of wine. This study highlights the risk of cider and wine contamination by film-forming yeasts. Their impact on aroma profiles depends on their ability to grow and their metabolism. This study contributes to an understanding of the possible physiological and metabolic mechanisms responsible for film formation and chemical changes in alcoholic beverages.
