Resumen
In this study, the effectiveness of a selected strain of Metschnikowia pulcherrima (MP1) was compared to that of sulphur dioxide for preventing white grape must from browning. Sulphur dioxide was found to drastically reduce oxygen consumption rate, protect hydroxycinnamic acids against oxidation and prevent grape must from browning, even in the presence of laccase. By contrast, supplementation with the selected strain of Metschnikowia pulcherrima (MP1) drastically increased oxygen consumption rate, thus reducing the amount of oxygen available for polyphenol oxidases. In the absence of laccase, this resulted in a decrease in browning and a certain degree of protection of the hydroxycinnamic acids, but in the presence of laccase it was not effective enough. Consequently, the selected strain of Metschnikowia pulcherrima (MP1) can be considered an interesting alternative to sulphur dioxide for preventing browning in white grape must, but only in conditions of healthy grapes. © 2024, International Viticulture and Enology Society.
