Activation of alcoholic fermentation by biologic a non-biologic means.Peer-reviewed article

E. MINÁRIK, O. JUNGOVÁ

Microcrystalline cellulose shows, similarly as yeast wall preparations and activator Botrytis cinerea, a stimulating effect on the fermentation activity of the yeast Saccharomyces oviformis in grape must even under unfavorable fermentation conditions. The stimulating effect is evident by a more profound fermentation, higher alcohol content and lower volatile acid formation in the wine. This effect is markedly higher in musts with high sugar concentration.
