Ozone to improve the implantation of Lachancea thermotolerans for improving pH in warm areas in wines with low SO2 levels

Abstract

One of the most powerful biotechnologies for lowering pH in wines from warm zones and in high pH varieties is the use of the non-Saccharomyces Lachancea thermotolerans yeast. This species is capable of producing lactic acid from sugars while slightly reducing the alcohol content, which therefore ameliorates two of the main problems of wines from regions affected by global warming. Lactic acid is an organic acid with good sensory integration in wine flavor, and also chemically and biologically stable during wine aging. The use of L. thermotolerans can help reduce the pH from 4.0, a value that is common in the Tempranillo variety in many regions of Spain, to 3.4-3.6 which is a safe value to keep wines fresher and more stable during barrel aging. In addition, depending on the strain, the use of L. thermotolerans can improve the sensory profile of the wine by producing esters and other aromatic compounds. The use of ozonated water to clean and sanitize grapes is a very interesting strategy to eliminate competitive wild yeasts while reducing the use of SO2. The objective of this research is to show the effect of ozonated water in the use of sequential fermentations with L. thermotolerans to acidify Tempranillo wines in the absence of SO2.

Ozono para mejorar la implantación de lachancea thermotolerans y disminuir/corregir el ph en vinos con bajos niveles de so2 de zonas cálidas

Una de las biotecnologías más potentes para disminuir el ph en vinos de zonas cálidas y en variedades de ph elevado es el uso de la levadura no-saccharomyces lachancea thermotolerans. Esta especie es capaz de formar ácido láctico a partir de azúcares, reduciendo al mismo tiempo ligeramente el grado alcohólico. Por lo tanto, mejora dos de los principales problemas de los vinos de regiones afectadas por el calentamiento global. El ácido láctico es un ácido orgánico con una buena integración sensorial en el sabor del vino, y también química y biológicamente estable durante el envejecimiento del vino. El uso de l. Thermotolerans puede ayudar a reducir el ph de 4,0 (un valor que es común en la variedad tempranillo en muchas regiones de españa) a 3,4-3,6 que es un valor seguro para mantener los vinos más frescos y estables durante el envejecimiento en barrica. Además, dependiendo de la cepa, el uso de l. Thermotolerans puede mejorar el perfil sensorial del vino mediante la producción de ésteres y otros compuestos aromáticos. El principal problema con l. Thermotolerans es la implantación, especialmente en vinos tintos, en los que las levaduras salvajes de los hollejos pueden ser fuertemente competitivas evitando un buen desarrollo y acidificación. Además, l. Thermotolerans es muy sensible al so2. El uso de agua ozonizada para limpiar e higienizar la uva es una estrategia muy interesante para eliminar las levaduras silvestres competitivas al tiempo que se reduce el uso de so2. El objetivo de esta investigación es mostrar el efecto del agua ozonizada en el uso de fermentaciones secuenciales con l. Thermotolerans para acidificar vinos tempranillo en ausencia de SO2.

Assessing the benefits of irrigation access: the case of Southern France vineyards

Agriculture worldwide is threatened by climate change. In particular, declining water resource availability combined with increasing water demand is a key challenge in many rainfed areas, where irrigation appears to be a straightforward adaptation option. In this context, assessing the impacts of irrigation adoption on farm yields and incomes is a necessary step to reflect on the impact of both ex-post and ex-ante policies.

Chitosan from mushroom by-products: sustainable extraction process and winemaking application

Chitosan is a biopolymer industrially obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide on earth, after cellulose. It is extracted from various terrestrial and marine resources, including insects, grasshoppers, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, squids, and fungi. chitosan has a polycationic character due to the free amine groups along its chemical backbone, and depending on its deacetylation degree (DD) and molecular weight (MW), it shows variable properties that differ from those of other natural polysaccharides.

Consumer acceptance of sweet wines produced by stopping fermentation with octanoic and decanoic acids

The use of medium chain fatty acids for arresting the fermentation and producing sweet wines was investigated at industrial level. Doses of 10 mg/l of octanoic or decanoic acid and a combination of 5+5 mg/l octanoic and decanoic acid were used to produce sweet wines of tamaioasa romanească variety in volumes of 3000 l.
