Grape juice fermentation: influence of the fermentation procedure on the volatile acidity of the wine

Three different fermentation techniques were compared to determine their influence on the volatile acidity of the wine. They were as follows; a) natural fermentation: b) with the selected wine yeast strain I.A.-78, and c) with a mixture of yeasts. The results of these experiments, with six replications, pointed out that the fermentation with the wine yeast strain I.A.-78 gave wines with lower volatile acidity, a desirable characteristic of the good wines.
