Due to toxicological and economical concerns, there is considerable interest in establishing which enological practices promote biogenic amine accumulation in wines. Effects of SO 2 and lysozyme, malolactic fermentation (MLF) management and ageing have been studied. The type of bacteria performing MLF and ageing proved to be the main factors influencing biogenic amine content of wine, specifically Tempranillo from Somontano appellation (Huesca, Spain), produced at an industrial scale. Sulphur dioxide and lysozyme, at the doses used, were not sufficient to reduce lactic acid bacteria populations. Treatments to inhibit MLF were not able to prevent histamine production. No relationship was found between the type of vessel in which MLF took place and subsequent biogenic amine content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
