ASEV Webinar – Stilbenes Can Impair Malolactic Fermentation with Strains of Oenococcus oeni and Lactobacillus plantarum
May 25 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Free – $50
In a new virtual seminar offered for ASEV members, you can read the published paper, see the authors present their findings, and engage directly with them during a Q&A session.
Fabian Weber and Pascal Wegmann-Herr will present on their research paper that reveals the impact of stilbenes on malolactic fermentation. Many disease-resistant grape cultivars contain greater amounts of stilbenes due to their role as phytoalexins, which have antifungal properties. In a synthetic wine medium, the researchers looked at the impact of MLF on five identified stilbenes in combination with various lactic acid bacteria, showing a variable rate of malic acid breakdown in the presence of these stilbenes, depending on the LAB strain.
