Influence ofSaccharomyces cerevisiaeautochthonousMQ3strain on terpenes during the alcoholic fermentation of Chardonnay dry white wine

Background and Aims Terpenes are major varietal aroma compounds significantly contributing to wine quality and style. Autochthonous microbial starters can promote the formation and release of the terpenes and thus highlight the terroir typicality of wines. This study compared the physicochemical parameters, changes in the terpene concentration, β-D-glucosidase activity and sensory attributes of Chardonnay wines fermented individually by the...
