One of the economic and societal challenges of recent years is to reduce the quantity of chemicals used in the agri-food industry. In wine, one method of limiting the addition of sulphites, a harmful and allergenic agent in wine, is bio-protection.
This practice consists of the early addition of microorganisms such as yeasts and bacteria on harvested grapes or grape must before fermentation. Non-Saccharomyces yeasts have therefore been proposed as an alternative to sulphite addition.
However, scientific data proving the effectiveness of bio-protection and the mechanisms involved remain sparse. The objective of this project is to provide some answers on the addition of two bio-protection strains, M. pulcherrima and T. delbrueckii, in white and red winemaking by evaluating the interest of this strategy on the antimicrobial and antioxidant level.

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...
For the production of quality sparkling wines, it is important to ensure the separation of the correct phenolic profiles of must fractions. Find out how UV-Visible spectroscopy, together with chemo...
Chemical, biochemical and physiological factors influence the composition of the retronasal aroma during wine consumption, but not only tannins influence mouthfeel: anthocyanins do too. New methods...
What's the importance of varietal thiols, esters and glycerol content from an organoleptic quality point of view? How do volatile compounds evolve during wine aging and storage conditions? Are ther...
