Influence of nitrogen status on fermentation performances of non- <i>Saccharomyces</i> yeasts: A review

Nitrogen, one of the most crucial nutrients present in grapes and musts, plays a key role yeast activities during alcoholic fermentation. Such influences are imposed on growth fermentation performances including formation secondary metabolites. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, main responsible for fermentation, has been studied extensively regarding nitrogen impacts. On other hand, similar study non-Saccharomyces yeasts, whose contributions to winemaking have gradually acknowledged, remains be fully explored, with few studies being reported. This review starts by discussing impacts kinetics different case scenarios, then proceeds summarize preferences individual strains regulation mechanisms elucidated recent studies. Detailed discussions production volatile compounds proposed pathways therein made, followed future work suggested as final section. In summarizing yeasts throughout this will helpful obtaining more comprehensive view these non-conventional wine terms nutrient requirements corresponding production. Research gaps therefore research.
