In this study alcoholic fermentation was explored to reduce the pesticides -2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and procymidone -and the mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA), besides evaluating their effects on quality parameters of the process. Fermentation (at 20°C for 168 h) was conducted in synthetic must (YPD and 10 g hL − 1 of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to which the following were added: 2,4-D (6.73 mg L − 1 ) and procymidone (2.24 mg L − 1 ), simultaneously (Treatment 1); and OTA (0.83 and 2.66 µg L − 1 ) (Treatments 2 and 3). The control treatment had no contaminants. All contaminated treatments showed lower ethanol production and cell viability.The highest decrease in contaminants was found after 168 h of fermentation: 22 and 65% in the cases of both pesticides while OTA decreased 52 and 58% (Treatments 2-0.83 µg L − 1 and 3-2.66 µg L − 1 ). Decrease in procymidone and OTA due to metabolic processes in yeast cells is mainly related to peroxidase activity and glutathione production.

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.
