Mathematical modeling of fermentation kinetics: a tool to better understand interactions between Torulaspora delbrueckii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in mixed cultures

Abstract

Nowadays the use of Torulaspora delbrueckii is more and more common in winemaking. However, its behavior in presence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is not always predictable. Indeed, the interactions existing between the two yeasts are still not well characterized and can lead to a bad control during their implementation in mixed cultures. The objective of the work presented here was to use the mathematical modeling as a tool to better understand microbial interactions in this context. 

Mixed cultures of a couple of oenological yeasts composed of T. delbrueckii and S. cerevisiae were carried out on a synthetic grape must in anaerobiosis. The impact of various parameters was evaluated: assimilable nitrogen concentration, direct and indirect contact (thanks to a membrane bioreactor), increase of lipids concentration (Tween 80 and ergosterol). 

The analysis of experimental data acquired during the pure cultures of each yeast enable to establish a mathematical model to describe the fermentation kinetics for pure cultures. Then this model was used to predict the kinetics of mixed cultures without any interaction except competition for substrates (sugar and nitrogen). The comparison between predicted and experimental kinetics showed that in mixed culture several kind of interactions must be taken into account: competition for space, cell to cell contact, reciprocal stimulation. Moreover, at low lipids initial concentration, S. cerevisiae dominated T. delbrueckii by producing a toxic metabolite. An increase in the initial lipids concentration completely reversed this domination.

Evaluation des impacts environnementaux des itinéraires techniques viticoles de production de vins AOP en Val de Loire: démarche d’adaptation de la méthode de l’analyse du cycle de vie (ACV)

La société et l’état imposent plus que jamais à la viticulture française de prendre en compte ses impacts environnementaux tout en produisant des vins de qualité. Après avoir présenté ces impacts, les auteurs exposent la méthode de l’Analyse du Cycle de Vie. Ils proposent une démarche pour sa mise au point pour évaluer les impacts environnementaux en viticulture AOP en Val de Loire dans le cadre de l’évaluation de la compatibilité des objectifs qualitatifs et environnementaux de la production de raisins de cuve.

Correlations between N,S,O-heterocycle levels and age of Champagne base wines

Champagne regulation allows winegrowers to stock small amounts of still wines in order to compensate vintages’ quality shifts mainly due to climate variations. According to their technical requirements and house style some Champagne producers (commonly named “Champagne houses”) use these stored wines in the blend in order to introduce an element of complexity. These wines possess the particularity of being aged on fine lees in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks. The Champagne house of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin has several wines stored this way.

Soils, climate, nutritive status and production of cv “Palomino fino” in the superior quality area of the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry zone

The Registered Appellation of Origin Mark (RAOM) « Jerez-Xérès-Sherry and Manzanilla Sanlucar de Barrameda » is one of the oldest and more important zone in wine history and production. «Albarizas» unit (white calcareous marls with sea-fossils) is the most representative geological material of the RAOM (75%) and even more in the central-NW area of the RAOM, known as «Jerez Superior» area (Superior Quality Sherry Area). « Albarizas » form undulated hillocks (3-10% slope) and hills (>10% slope), the litologic unit has E-W and S-W direction, and Regosols and Leptosols are the principal soils.
