on the chemical compounds of lychee wines. The S. cerevisiae mono- and simultaneous cultures had similar effects on the wines with the highest fermentative activity and lowest concentrations of terpenes. Conversely, the T. delbrueckii monoculture showed the lowest fermentative activity but retained the highest contents of terpenoids. In sequential fermentation, initially inoculated T. delbrueckii PRELUDE contributed to low glycerol, acetic acid, fatty acids, and high amounts of terpenes; subsequently inoculated S. cerevisiae MERIT.ferm significantly
increased alcohols and most esters (Table 4). Therefore, the sequential culture could reach a balance to retain the terpenoids and to produce alcohols and esters.
