Effect of gluconic acid consumption during simulation of biological aging of sherry wines by a flor yeast strain on the final volatile compounds.
Flor yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (capensis G1) strain assimilates gluconic acid during the aerobic biological aging process of sherry wines and exerts significant changes on the final volatile compounds of wines, especially a decrease in volatile acidity and butanoic, isobutanoic, 2-methylbutanoic, and 3-methylbutanoic acids. This decrease may have a favorable effect on the quality of sherry wines.
