The antimicrobial action of lactoferrin (LF)-derived peptides against Dekkera bruxellensis strains isolated from spoiled wines has been examined. The study included a fifteen-residue peptide (LfcinB(17-31)) derived from bovine lactoferricin B and a bovine LF pepsin hydrolysate (LFH). In vitro assays showed the inhibitory properties of LfcinB(17-31) on D. bruxellensis growth with IC(50) and MIC values in the micromolar range. Strains tested showed different sensitivity to the peptide. LfcinB(17-31) showed fungicidal properties towards all strains tested in laboratory growth medium. However, the extent of fungicidal activity was strain-dependent in must and wine, confirming the different antimicrobial action of peptides depending on both the food matrix and the target micro-organism. The binding of LfcinB(17-31) to D. bruxellensis cells was visualized by fluorescence microscopy and correlated with the fungicidal activity in the different matrixes. LfcinB(17-31) and LFH showed growth inhibitory properties in wine suggesting their potential use for spoilage control.

In recent years, the wine industry has been researching how to improve wine quality along the production value chain. In this scenario, we present here a new tool, MicroVi, a cost-effective chip-sized microscopy solution to detect and count yeast cells in wine samples. We demonstrate that this novel microscopy setup is able to measure the same type of samples as an optical microscopy system, but with smaller size equipment and with automated cell count configuration.

The use of fungal chitosan as an antiseptic in wine appears as a promising alternative to sulfur dioxide for the elimination of sensitive strains. Nevertheless, its utilization raises the question, "how are the treated wines different from the untreated ones?" Chitosan treatment residues were sought in the oligosaccharide and polysaccharide fractions and among 224 low MW ions (<1800 g·mol) in several wines by using liquid chromatography (size exclusion HPLC or LC-MS) and GC-MS. Standard oenological parameters were also examined as well as possible sensory modifications by a panel of tasters composed of experts and non-experts.

Alcoholic fermentation is one of man's most efficient food preservation processes, and innovations in this area are a trend in food science and nutrition. In addition to the classic Saccharomyces yeasts, various other species may have desirable characteristics for obtaining fruit wines. This study investigated the profile of non-Saccharomyces commercial yeasts compared with S.
