Reasons, originators and prevention of film-formation on wines.Peer-reviewed article

E. MINÁRIK

Results of long-term studies on the ecology of film-forming yeasts and yeast-like microorganisms in Czechoslovak wines are given. The asporogenous yeasts Candida vini and C. zeylanoides and the sporogenous Pichia membranaefaciens belong to the most widespread originators of film-formation on wines. They may be accompanied by C. krusei, H. anomala var. anomala and P. fermentans. The most important characteristics of the yeast species are described and technological conclusions connected with the prevention of film-formation on wines are drawn.
