Estudio de la fertilidad de los suelos para la zonificación vitícola de la D.O. MONTILLA-MORILES

Ellagitannins consist the main extractible phenolic compounds in oak wood.

The effects of different oxygen and sulphur dioxide additions to South African ‘Sauvignon blanc’ musts were investigated. Oxygen addition without SO2 protection led to lower levels of certain volatile thiols in the wines, with a corresponding decrease in certain phenols and glutathione concentrations.

Hydrogels are soil-conditioning materials capable of absorbing substantial amounts of water relative to their weight.

The synthetic herbicide glyphosate has been used extensively in viticulture over many decades to combat weeds. Despite this, the possible influence of residual glyphosate on both the alcoholic fermentation of grape juice and the subsequent metabolite profile of wines has not been investigated. In this study, Pinot noir juice supplemented with different concentrations of glyphosate (0 µg L-1, 10 µg L-1 and 1000 µg L-1) was fermented with commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains. Using a combination of analytical methods, 80 metabolites were quantified in the resulting wines.

Lipids are a diverse group of organic compounds essential for living systems. They are vital compounds for yeast which makes them an important modulator of yeast metabolism in alcoholic fermentation. This study presents a comprehensive lipidome analysis of wine samples from the Vitis vinifera L., Maraština. The fermentation trails were set up in monoculture with different indigenous yeast strains selected from a collection of native yeasts established at the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation in 2021, previously isolated from Croatian Maraština grapes: Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Metshnikowia sinensis/shanxiensis , and Metschnikowia chyrsoperlae.
