Abstract :
Background: The present work encompasses production of wine from over ripe guava using Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Materials and Methods: The juices of guava were analyzed for pH, total Sugar, color, odour, test and reducing sugar. Guava is easy to culture. Guava & possess high nutritive value and its products like juices, beverages, nectars, spices etc. are largely appreciated by the consumers. Guava juice requires ‘capitalization’ so as to prepare a perfect wine out of it. Thus, the samples was fermented at 30 ?C by using Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Result and Conclusion: It was shown that guava juices having pH 4 yield higher alcohol as compare to samples having different pH. It was also seen that there was very less production of alcohol percentage. So, it improves the activity of wine.
