Comparative studies on the dynamics of fermentation of selected wine yeasts

Abstract

Alcoholic fermentation is an anaerobic biochemical process of oxidation-reduction in which carbohydrates are metabolized by the action of yeast enzymes in major products (ethylalcohol and carbon dioxide) and minor products (superior alcohols, aldehydes, acetic acid, glycerol, volatile acids and others). Typical agents of the alcoholic fermentation are from Saccharomyces genus, by fermentation resulting concentrations in ethylic alcohol higher that 8 alcoholic degrees. In this paper it was studied the dynamics of fermentation of 3 strains of Saccharomyces ellipsoideus wine yeast and were observed parameters such as the accumulation of alcohol, the release of CO2, temperature, amount of oxygen released. It was found that alcoholic fermentation depends on medium factors but also on biotechnological qualities of yeasts selected for this purpose.

Influence of edapho-climatic factors on grape quality in Conca de Barberà vineyards (Catalonia, Spain)

Soil and climate of 3 vineyards have been characterised in order to determine their influence on grape quality. These vineyards are located in Conca de Barberà (Catalonia, NE Spain) and belong to Cabernet sauvignon and Grenache noir cultivars. All 3 plots are very close, so only interannual climatic data of the nearest meteorological station have been considered.

The use of microwaves during the maceration of Cabernet Sauvignon wines for improving their chromatic characteristics

The use of new technologies such as microwaves (MW) arose in recent years as an efficient alternative to reduce the use of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and as a method for improving wines in terms of color and aroma [1, 2]. MW (non-ionizing electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz) have been widely applied in the food industry in order to reduce processing time and favor food preservation.
