20 Mar 2023 Screening of Spoilage Yeasts in Wine
Winemaking is a non-sterile process and the role of yeast in fermentation is essential to the production of the fermented alcoholic beverages. Wine fermentation is a complex microbiological process in which specific yeasts strains are selected to obtain the desired fermentation characteristics – flavor and aroma – in the final product. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the main microorganism involved, due to their fast fermentation rates and ability to survive in the harsh environmental conditions of wine.
