Scaling-up in industrial winemaking using low electric current as an alternative to sulfur dioxide addition

Abstract

The results have demonstrated that the low-voltage treatment had a positive effect on the grape juice fermentation (yeast microflora) during the early stages of winemaking. SIGINIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: These results could be of significant importance in developing, for 'biological wine', new winemaking technologies for an innovative control process of yeast fermentation.
