Alcoholic fermentation in oenological conditions is a biological process carried out under significant physiological constraints: deficiency of nitrogen and others nutriments (vitamins, lipids …) and different stresses (pH and osmotic). In literature, few models were proposed to describe oenological fermentations. They are focused on initial conditions and did not integrate nitrogen addition during the fermentation process which is a widespread practice. In this work, two dynamic models of oenological fermentation are proposed to predict the effects of nitrogen addition at two different timings: at the beginning of the process and during the fermentation experiment. They were validated and compared against existing models showing an accurately fit to experimental data for CO2 release and CO2 production rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
