Ecology of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) during alcoholic fermentation (AF) and spontaneous malolactic fermentation (MLF) of Tempranillo wines from four wineries of La Rioja has been studied analyzing the influence of the winemaking method, processing conditions, and geographical origin. Five different LAB species were isolated during AF, while, during MLF, only Oenococcus oeni was detected. Although the clonal diversity of O. oeni strains was moderate, mixed populations were observed, becoming at least one strain with distinct PFGE profile the main responsible for MLF. Neither the winemaking method nor the cellar situation was correlated with the LAB diversity. However, processing conditions influenced the total number of isolates and the percentage of each isolated species and strains. The winemaking method could cause that genotypes found in semicarbonic maceration did not appear in other wineries. Four genotypes of O. oeni were isolated in more than one of the rest wineries. These four together with other dominant strains might be included in a future selection process.

This work assessed the efficiency and sustainability of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of anthocyanins from grape pomace using bio-based solvents: Ethanol, Isopropanol, Propylene-glycol, and Ethylene-glycol at different concentrations (50 and 100 % v/v) and temperatures (25 °C and 50 °C). Higher ultrasonic intensities (UI) were obtained at 50 °C and 50 % v/v by decreasing solvents viscosities. Under these conditions, anthocyanin extractions were performed with different combinations of solvent to liquid ratio (SLR) at 1:10 and 1:50 g/mL, and UI (3.

Background: The volatile composition of Ruché, a red wine produced from a native grape in Piedmont (Italy), was investigated using headspace-solid phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The main volatile compounds of the wine were identified and quantified. Chemometric techniques were applied to identify features and possible clusters among the different samples.

Pectinolytic enzymes secreted by yeasts have an untapped potential in industry, particularly in wine-making. This study addresses the limitations of the current screening methods in reliably predicting the capacity of pectinolytic yeast strains to secrete polygalacturonase (PGase) under industrial conditions, suggesting a novel screening approach. Using the context of wine-making as an example, a diverse collection of 512 yeast strains from 17 species was analyzed for PGase secretion, a key enzyme in pectinolysis.

The management of post-fermentation phase is essential for the protection of wine oxidation. The prolonged contact of yeast lees and wine can help to limit this problem, although off-flavours can originate. It is known that some cellular components (mannoproteins, lipids, glutathione, etc.

Oxygen is an important parameter in winemaking that can have positive or negative impacts on wine quality. A controlled oxygen management can lead a wine with good potential for ageing to develop an interesting ageing bouquet. On the other hand, when oxygen intake is not well controlled, loss of freshness and fruitiness can occur, and some faulty oxidative notes can appear.
