Changes produced by the sulfur compounds in the release of polyfunctional mercaptans, as well as on the consumption of their precursors
Yohanna Alegre, LAAE, Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain
Sulfur plays an important role in many metabolisms, it is really important for yeast growth and fermentation metabolism, and can affect the production of many volatile compounds.
In this video seminar, based on the paper presented at the International Congress on Grapevine and Wine Sciences – ICGWS in November 2018, learn how the influence of different sulfur compounds on the release of polyfunctional mercaptans and on the consumption of their precursors is determined.
Could this be a tool for the wine industry to manipulate wine’s aromatic profile?

Wine is fundamentally a high-intervention product, and along all stages from harvest to bottling it's our job to guarantee safety and quality, but it's also up to us to research, experiment, and ad...
Producing a wine according to our oenological objective, wanting to express the variety, but adapting practices according to the sanitary status of the grapes, is continuous experimentation. We aga...
Phenolic composition of grapes has an important impact on the final intrinsic quality of (red) wines. Wine taste, mouthfeel and colour are driven principally by phenolic compounds present in grapes...
