Microbial Glycosidases for Wine Production

Winemaking is a complex process involving the interaction of different microbes. The two main groups of microorganisms involved are yeasts and bacteria. The yeasts present in spontaneous fermentation may be divided into two groups: the Saccharomyces yeasts, particularly S. cerevisiae; and the non-Saccharomyces yeasts, which include members of the genera Rhodotorula, Pichia, Candida, Debaryomyce...

Production of mixed fruit (pawpaw, banana and watermelon) wine using Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from palm wine

Pawpaw, banana and watermelon are tropical fruits with short shelf-lives under the prevailing temperatures and humid conditions in tropical countries like Nigeria. Production of wine from these fruits could help reduce the level of post-harvest loss and increase variety of wines. Pawpaw, banana and watermelon were used to produce mixed fruit wines using Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from pa...

Predicting Wine Prices from Wine Labels

Motivation: The wine label is an icon that unites powerful branding and fine design under a single image. With U.S. wine consumption predicted to increase to $23.8 billion by 2014, wine labels are used not only to convey a given wine’s type, producer, and origin, but also its emotional and cultural appeal. Thus, a wine label is carefully designed to convey the proper messaging of a particular b...

A Critical Process Analysis of Wine Production to Improve Cost Efficiency, Wine Quality and Environmental Performance

Evaluation of litchi juice concentrate for the production of wine

The suitability of litchi [Litchi chinensis (Gaertn.) Sonn.] juice concentrate was investigated for the production of litchi wine. The large amount of fermentable sugars (85.20%) and acid content (4.25%) present in litchi juice concentrate were found suitable for its use in wine making. Amongst the four yeast strains screened for alcoholic fermentation of reconstituted litchi juice, Saccharomyc...
