RT Journal Article T1 Enhancing wine fermentation through concurrent utilization of Lachancea thermotolerans and lactic acid bacteria (Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum) or Schizosaccharomyces pombe A1 Vicente Sánchez, Javier A1 Wang, Li A1 Brezina, Silvia A1 Fritsch, Stefanie A1 Navascués López-Cordón, Eva A1 Santos de la Sen, Antonio A1 Calderón, Fernando A1 Tesfaye, Wendu A1 Marquina Díaz, Domingo A1 Rauhut, Doris A1 Benito, Santiago AB Most commercially available red wines undergo alcoholic fermentation by Saccharomyces yeasts, followed by a second fermentation with the lactic acid bacteria Oenococcus oeni once the initial process is complete. However, this traditional approach can encounter complications in specific scenarios. These situations pose risks such as stalled alcoholic fermentation or the growth of undesirable bacteria while the process remains incomplete, leaving residual sugars in the wine. To address these challenges and the issue of low acidity prevalent in warmer viticultural regions, several novel alternatives are available. The alternatives involve the combined use of Lachancea thermotolerans to increase the acidity of the musts, lactic acid bacteria (Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum) to ensure malic acid stability during early alcoholic fermentation stages, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae to properly complete alcoholic fermentation. The study showed variations in the final chemical parameters of wines based on the microorganisms used.
