Tóm tắt

Brettanomyces/Dekkera yeasts grow in wine and their presence is often associated with spoiling activity. In this report, we investigated on the influence of different conditions of aerobiosis on growth and fermentation behaviour of these spoilage yeasts in wine. Results showed that in all conditions tested the Brettanomyces strain consumed all sugars, taking wine fermentation to completion. Strict-anaerobic conditions limited the growth of Brettanomyces. Both anaerobiosis (using a fermentation trap) and strict anaerobiosis did not negatively affect the principal by-products of fermentation whereas semi-anaerobiosis caused an increase of acetic acid, acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate that negatively affected the fermentation profile of resulting products.
