Acetaldehyde metabolism by wine lactic acid bacteria
Abstract
Acetaldehyde is a volatile flavor compound present in many fermented foods and is important in the production of red and white wines. Nine strains of the genera Lactobacillus and Oenococcus were able to metabolize acetaldehyde in a resting cell system, whereas two Pediococcus strains were not. Acetic acid and ethanol were produced from its degradation. A Lactobacillus and an Oenococcus were able to degrade SO(2)-bound acetaldehyde, as well. A coincubation of resting cells of Saccharomyces bayanus Première Cuvée and Oenococcus oeni Lo111 showed that strain Lo111 metabolized acetaldehyde produced by the yeast. The ability of malolactic bacteria to degrade free and SO(2)-bound acetaldehyde has implications for sensory and color qualities and the use of SO(2) in wine.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
