Description
Study of new alternatives to optimize the wine process of malolactic fermentation, such as: Co-inoculation of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria: to inoculate lactic bacteria at the beginning of the alcoholic fermentation, 24 to 48 hours after sowing the yeasts. Immobilization of lactic acid bacteria: to encapsulate lactic bacteria in alginate beads for subsequent sowing. Use of ultrasonic techniques to monitor malolactic fermentation, a process by which wine acidity is reduced due to the transformation of malic acid (compound present in numerous plant products) into lactic acid.Other information
