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.

Vineyard soils and landscapes of the Burgundy Côte (France): a historical construction worth preserving

The construction of vineyard landscapes along the Burgundy Côte is the result of geological processes and of human labour. Substratum diversity in this vineyard is the result of a very long history explained by the diversity of Jurassic sedimentary facies and Tertiary tectonic activity. The nature and thickness of Quaternary deposits (Weichselian scree debris and alluvial fans) reflect sediment dynamics concurrent with the last glaciation.

Epigenetic Modulation Of Inflammation And Synaptic Plasticity By Polyphenolic Metabolites Promotes Resilience Against Stress In Mice

Introduction: Major depressive disorder is associated with abnormalities in the brain and the immune system. Chronic stress in animals showed that epigenetic and inflammatory mechanisms play important roles in mediating resilience and susceptibility to depression.

Wine tartaric stability based on hydrogel application

Tartrates are salts of tartaric acid that occur naturally in wine and lead to sediments that cause consumers’ rejection. There are currently different treatments to prevent its occurrence, with cold stabilization being the most traditional and well-known method.

Infrared spectroscopy investigation of fresh grapevine organs for clustering and classification.

The spectral information acquired from fresh whole grapevine organs have yet to be fully explored. Infrared spectroscopy provides the means to rapidly measure fresh plant material and providing extensive information on the physical and chemical structure of samples.
