  • After destemming and crushing, grapes are mixed to form a mixture of "skin + pulp + seed" called "Must"
  • Must is then pressed to obtain juice, and the remaining residue is further squeezed to collect the remaining liquid
  • The "Must" treatment involves:
    • Cooling to slow down oxidation and fermentation
    • Chaptalization and acidity treatment to adjust sugar and acidity levels
    • SO2 treatment to prevent bacterial growth and oxidation
    • Nutrient addition to support fermentation
    • Pectinase enzyme supplements to increase pressing yield and improve wine clarity

Fermentation Process

  • Primary fermentation (alcoholic fermentation) and secondary fermentation (malolactic fermentation)
  • Primary fermentation:
    • Optimum temperature: 15-28°C for white and rosé wine, 20-32°C for red wine
    • Duration: 10-12 days at 20-22°C, 6-7 days at 25-28°C
    • Pure culture yeast can be added at this stage
    • Main role: produce alcohol
  • Secondary fermentation:
    • Malic acid is converted to lactic acid
    • Implementation is mainly based on lactic acid bacteria
    • Occurs after alcoholic fermentation, and can occur naturally or be initiated by the winemaker

Unwanted Fermentation

  • Glycerol fermentation → lactic acid + acetic acid
  • Natural grape sugars → lactic acid + acetic acid
  • Tartaric acid → lactic acid + acetic acid + CO2
  • Ethanol → acetic acid → water + CO2

Racking

  • Process of transferring wine from one container to another to remove sediment
  • Done to clarify and mature the wine
  • Requires minimal oxygen exposure to prevent oxidation
  • Supplement with 0.01% sodium metabisulfite before each racking

Filtering and Bottling

  • Filtering agents: gelatin, egg whites, or other protein-based materials
  • Equipment: filtering membranes with or without filtering agents
  • Incubation and storage:
    • Wine must be incubated in barrels for aromatic enhancement
    • Cool incubation takes longer than warm incubation
    • Incubation time: 3-6 months or 2-3 years
    • Use oak pieces instead of oak barrels for economic considerations

  • Water: affects taste and pH

Malt Production

  • Barley seeds are cleaned, dried, and stored before processing
  • Soaking: absorb water to 40-44% moisture content for germination
  • Germination: accumulate and enrich enzyme system in seeds
  • Malt drying: stop germ growth, reduce water content to 3-4%, and create aroma and pigments

Enzymes in Malt

  • Cell wall hydrolyzing enzymes: sitase, β-1,4 glucanase, β-1,3 glucanase, pentosanase
  • Starch hydrolyzing enzymes: α-amylase, β-amylase, dextrinase
  • Protein hydrolyzing enzymes: proteinase, carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase, dipeptidase

Water in Beverage Production

  • Water makes up over 90% of soft drinks and plays a crucial role as a solvent in biochemical reactions.
  • Water is used in large quantities in beer production, with approximately 6 liters of water needed to make 1 liter of beer.

Water Quality Requirements for Beverage Production

  • Soft water is essential for beer production.
  • Physical quality: Water should be transparent and free from inorganic matter such as sand and soil, with a maximum limit of 2 NTU/ml.
  • Chemical quality:
    • pH level should be between 6.5 and 8.5.
    • Hardness, primarily caused by calcium and magnesium salts, should not exceed 300 mg/l.
    • Alkalinity should be below 50 mg/l to prevent neutralization of the beverage's acidity.
    • Iron (Fe2+ and Fe3+) levels should be below 0.5 mg/l.
    • Manganese (Mn2+) levels should be below 0.5 mg/l.
    • Total Cl- should be less than 250 mg/l.
    • Nitrogen compounds should be limited, with NH4+ at 1.5 mg/l, nitrate at 50 mg/l, and nitrite at 3 mg/l.
    • Other mineral limits include Pb at 0.01 mg/l, Cu at 2 mg/l.
    • Potassium-permanganate value (PV) should be limited to 1 mgO2/l.
    • Sulfate levels should not exceed 250 mg/l.
    • Total organic carbon (TOC) should be less than 2 mg CO2/l.

Juice Production and Factors Affecting Quality

  • Key factors influencing juice quality include:
    • Variety: Different fruit varieties have distinct flavor profiles and sugar contents, impacting juice quality.
    • Cultivation: Factors like soil condition, climate, and agricultural practices affect fruit quality.
    • Maturity/ripening: Optimal ripeness ensures the desired sugar content, flavor, and color in the juice.
    • Harvesting conditions: Proper harvesting techniques and timely processing are crucial for maintaining fruit freshness and preventing spoilage.

Juice Extraction Methods

  • Methods depend on the fruit's structure and composition:
    • Tough and crunchy fruits require shredding or crushing before pressing.
    • Bunched fruits require destemming before juice extraction.
    • Soft fruits may require heat treatment before crushing to improve juice yield.
    • Dried fruits require soaking or steaming to rehydrate before juice extraction.

Treatments for Juice Quality Enhancement

  • Specific treatments can enhance juice quality:
    • Cloudy fruit juice: Heat treatment inactivates enzymes that cause spoilage.
    • Clear fruit juice: Hydrolytic enzymes improve pressing efficiency, reduce pressing time, and enhance juice clarity.

Juice Clarification

  • Enzymatic methods are used for juice clarification:
    • Pectolytic enzymes, including pectinase, break down pectin, reducing juice viscosity and improving clarity.

Homogenization

  • Ensures uniform mixing of fruit pulp and juice, preventing separation and improving product consistency:
    • High pressure (120-150 atm) forces the product through a small gap (0.1 mm), resulting in particle sizes ranging from 167 to 560 µm.

Oxygen Elimination

  • Crucial in juice processing to prevent:
    • Discoloration: Oxygen interaction with enzymes causes browning and affects juice appearance.
    • Vitamin C loss: Oxidation degrades vitamin C, reducing the juice's nutritional value.
