Aims: The work investigates the impact of grapes processing at the beginning of winemaking on the composition of microbiota during the oenological fermentations and on the composition of obtained wines.
Methods And Results: The experiments were conducted in a biodynamic winery to exclude interference due to microbial starters. Three winemaking protocols, with different pre-fermentative management of grapes, were followed by plate count and next generation sequencing on 16S for bacteria and internal transcribed spacer sequencing (ITS) for yeast. Chemical and sensory characterization of wine was performed. The grape processing influenced the evolution of microbiota (especially lactic and acetic acid bacteria) and the fermentation rate. The highest biodiversity was observed in the experiment carried out with whole grapes and carbonic maceration, with the presence of bacterial groups not usually found in winemaking (Bacteroidales, Clostridiales, Oscillospira). The different microbiotas influenced the organic acid profile of wines, the content of biogenic ammines and the perception of organoleptic descriptors linked to the vine cultivar (Syrah).
Conclusions: Carbonic maceration impacts on the evolution of the microbiota and the wine features. The absence of addition of starters and sulphur dioxide would seem to be correlated with the high microbial biodiversity.
Significance And Impact Of The Study: Carbonic maceration is a traditional winemaking practice, today there are difficulties in its managing because the anaerobiosis stimulates spoilage micro-organisms. The work elucidates the reasons of these difficulties and identified some microbial groups rarely associated with winemaking. The ratio of ethanol accumulation along with physical management of grapes and the supply of oxygen during the early stages of winemaking are powerful instruments of oenological variability, able to offer new possibilities to winemakers in order to defining the quality of red wines.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding how microorganisms affect coffee fermentation is key to improving sensory quality and ensuring food security.
- The study analyzed fungal community changes during fermentation under different temperatures and time intervals, finding significant shifts at 18 and 28 °C, with the highest diversity and variation at 38 °C.
- The findings suggest that lower temperatures may create a more stable fermentation environment, while higher temperatures result in greater variability in the fungal community.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of various methods of processing, such as natural, washed, honey, anaerobic fermentation, and carbonic maceration, on the contents of heavy metals in green and roasted specialty coffees from various countries of origin (Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Peru). The heavy metals aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) were identified by a multi-element technique using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Mercury (Hg) content was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry.

The recovery of raw materials offers an opportunity for applying the principles of circular bioeconomy. The phenolic composition of three underused wine byproducts (skin, seed, and bunch stem) was analyzed through UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS to evaluate the intercultivar variability comparing red and white grape cultivars from La Rioja (Spain) and the influence of the winemaking, comparing conventional fermentation and carbonic maceration. We observed that the red skin, especially from Graciano, is rich in anthocyanins, whereas the white skin contains mainly phenolic acids, flavonols, and flavan-3-ols, with Maturana Blanca being the richest variety.

A new category of fruit style beer resulting from the addition of grape matrices is named Italian Grape Ale (IGA). In this paper, we report data on an experimental work to produce IGA beers, adding macerated (CO or N) red Gamay grape must or Aleatico grape pomace resulting from a grape dehydration process. Our hypothesis, that these wine processes can produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to characterize these IGA beers which was confirmed by chemical, sensory and aromatic results.

Carbonic maceration (CM) vinification is a very traditional method that allows saving energy without great equipment investment, obtaining high-quality wines. However, due to its particularities, CM winemaking implies a higher risk of microbial alteration. This work studies the evolution of bacterial population along carbonic maceration wines elaboration with and without yeast inoculation.
