Abstract

Schizosaccharomyces yeasts can be used for deacidification of grape musts. To this aim, we studied malic acid degradation by yeasts included in double layer alginate beads in a bubble column reactor. Use of immobilized micro-organisms allowed a continuous process with high dilution rates giving a deacidification capacity of 0.032 g of malate/hour/dm3/g of beads. The pneumatic agitation was very convenient in this case.
