line-height: 18.399999618530273px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> The alcoholic fermentation converting sugars into ethanol is usually carried out by yeasts, mainly <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>, which can grow directly using fruit sugars (wine, cider, and others), or on previously hydrolyzed starch of cereals (beers and others). Some of these beverages, or the worts from cereals, can be distilled to obtain spirits. Besides <i>S. cerevisiae</i>, all alcoholic beverages can contain other microorganisms, mostly lactic acid bacteria and other yeasts —the non-<i>Saccharomyces</i> yeasts—. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 18.399999618530273px; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> The interactions between all these microorganisms are very diverse and complex, as in any natural occurring ecosystem. The positive or negative effects of these interactions on the organoleptic qualities of the final product have been also revised. Focusing mainly on the alcoholic beverages produced by spontaneous fermentations, this paper reviews the interactions between the different yeasts and lactic acid bacteria in wine, cider, beer and in spirits such as tequila, mezcal and cachaça.<o:p></o:p></span></p>Albert Bordonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07218566879139386339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507522654927504848.post-64523811395207315682021-07-15T20:03:00.002+02:002021-07-15T20:03:40.007+02:00NEW Position Offer<p><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="color: #2b00fe;">POSITION OFFER : </b>one Trainee predoctoral researcher in our group, with Lactic acid bacteria research team. <a href="https://oenobiotech.blogspot.com/p/grants-and-position-offers.html">Click here.</a></span></span></p>Albert Bordonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07218566879139386339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507522654927504848.post-2670631674697971612021-07-11T17:53:00.001+02:002021-07-11T17:53:35.125+02:00Online BE (Wine Biotechnology) Group meeting, 9th July 2021<p> <span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">Last Friday 9th July we have celebrated the monthly online meeting of Wine Biotechnology Research Group.</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The last results of different projects have been discussed and our colleague Sandra Martín (predoctoral researcher) has presented her work carried out on design of microbial consortia for improving stability and bioactivity of wines.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hrxHtouDkks/YOsTqFZcZfI/AAAAAAAAorA/KlMKTq-AopYMPdAu-E0sLbCtRMWdEwh2wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1597/20210709%2Bmeeting.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="620" data-original-width="1597" height="248" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hrxHtouDkks/YOsTqFZcZfI/AAAAAAAAorA/KlMKTq-AopYMPdAu-E0sLbCtRMWdEwh2wCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h248/20210709%2Bmeeting.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;"><br /></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;"></p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Albert Bordonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07218566879139386339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507522654927504848.post-90841221508993962812021-06-13T18:45:00.000+02:002021-06-13T18:45:12.961+02:00Two new articles on the effect of non-Saccharomyces on Oenococcus oeni<p><b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">1)</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><i style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Torulaspora delbrueckii</i><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">promotes malolactic fermentation in high polyphenolic red wines</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 3pt 0cm 6pt;">Aitor Balmaseda, Nicolas Rozès, Albert Bordons, Cristina Reguant *<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 3pt 0cm 6pt;"><span lang="EN-US">LWT Food Sci Technol 2021, 148, 111777: </span><a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2021.111777" style="color: #954f72;" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2021.111777</span></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 3pt 0cm 6pt;"><span lang="EN-US">The interactions of<i> Torulaspora delbrueckii </i>and <i>O. oeni </i>in wines from grapes with different degrees of maturity were studied.
