Abstract

In this article, were port on wine making by freeze-dried immobilized cells on delignified cellulosic material for ambient and low temperatures. Biocatalyst supported by freeze-dried delignified cellulosic (FDC) material recovered after the first repeated-batch fermentations the fermentation efficiency and startup, which become about equal to those of biocatalyst supported by wet delignified cellulosic material. The FDC biocatalyst was suitable for wine making at low temperatures (5–15°C), and produced wine of 12% alcoholic degree, with the main volatiles contained in the wine and reduced by a decrease in temperature. The fermentation efficiency was not affected by total acidity of must, while an increase in initial Be density improved percentages of higher alcohols and ethylacetate. The quality of the wine was validated by a preliminary taste test to be in the range of acceptable to excellent.
