Characteristics of ecological production of grape and wine in Prizren’s vineyard territory in Yugoslavia

Cyclodextrins are complex cyclic oligosaccharides of glucose units. They are produced from the breakdown of starch by the enzymatic reaction of glucosyltransferase. The result is a ring-shaped molecule with a cavity with a hydrophilic outer part and a hydrophobic inner part. As a consequence of this cavity, cyclodextrin is able to form complexes with non-polar organic molecules [1,2].

Contribution Sparkling wines elaborated following the traditional method undergo a second fermentation in closed bottles of base wines, followed by aging of wines with lees for at least 9 months. Most of the sparkling wines elaborated are white and rosé ones, although the production of red ones is highly increasing. One of the initial problems in red sparkling wine processing is to obtain suitable base wines that should have moderate alcohol content and astringency and adequate color intensity; which is difficult to obtain when grapes must be harvested at low phenolic and industrial maturity stage. The low phenolic maturity degree in the red grapes makes essential to choose an adequate winemaking methodology to obtain the base wines because the extracted polyphenols will vary according the winemaking technique: carbonic maceration or destemmed-crushed grapes.

Le système des appellations d’origine aux Etats-Unis était adopté en 1978 et est entré en vigueur en 1983. Jusqu’à présent, 146 aires viticoles avaient été établies dans 26 états.

The dealcoholized wine sector is experiencing strong market growth, driven by increasing consumer demand.

Production, demand, and brand awareness of dealcoholized wine (<0.5% v/v) is steadily increasing worldwide. However, there have been few studies to date investigating and comparing the different physical processes for dealcoholizing wine.
