Roles of microbiota in the formation of botrytized grapes and wines

Botrytized wines are dessert made from overripe grapes infected by Botrytis cinerea known as “botrytized grapes” or “noble rot”. They favored human for their health promoting antioxidants and pleasant flavor. However, production is low natural botrytized rare in most vineyards worldwide. That is, not all B. become grapes. The formation of determined the interactions between microbiota, including cinerea, under specific environmental conditions. Similarly, among microorganisms grape must during fermentation processes also crucial quality wines. Therefore, unraveling roles microbiota can contribute to a better understanding determinants this process, provide theoretical basis improving
