Participating to mouthfeel, texture and stability, polysaccharides are important compounds to manage during winemaking. Depending their origin - grapes, yeast, wood or other plants - polysaccharides have different chemical structure, […]
Winemakers Technical Exchange - share experiences, tips, and tools on low SO2 wines, microbial control and oxidation management About this Event Increasing public concern with sulfite content in wine as well as wine quality loss by high sulfite additions have created the need for new winemaking tools and practices to reduce sulfite use. SO2 has […]
Increasing public concern with sulfite content in wine as well as wine quality loss by high sulfite additions have created the need for new winemaking tools and practices to reduce sulfite use. SO2 has been one of the most commonly used wine additives for centuries for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Finding alternatives while keeping […]
Ensuring microbial stability is fundamental for preserving wine quality and avoiding economic losses from spoilage. Capable of developing at any time during the winemaking process, spoilage microbes are opportunist organisms which are difficult to control and eliminate. Recent developments offer winemakers new tools to prevent and eliminate undesirable microorganisms while limiting SO2. Lamothe-Abiet developed KILLBRETT®, […]
