Study of the Grape Cryo-Maceration Process at Different Temperatures

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effects of cryo-maceration at different temperatures on polyphenol content during the winemaking process of Chardonnay wine. Samples of Chardonnay grapes were subjected to rapid cooling processes by direct injection of liquid CO2 to obtain final temperatures of 10.0, 8.0, 6.0 and 4.0 °C and yield different batches of grape mash. Subsequently, each batch underwent the winemaking process to produce four different wines. The wines obtained were characterized by chemical analyses. We observed higher extraction of polyphenolic compounds with low-temperature cold maceration, particularly when the temperature was reduced from 10.0 to 6.0 °C. Conversely, when the temperature was reduced below 6.0 °C, the increase in polyphenol content in wine was negligible, whereas CO2 consumption increased. Furthermore, a numerical simulation was performed to determine the pipe length, L0, after which the temperature was constant. This condition is very important because it guarantees that after the length L0, the thermodynamic exchange between liquid CO2 and is complete, eliminating the possibility of liquid CO2 pockets in the cyclone.

Unmanned Ground Vehicle Modelling in Gazebo/ROS-Based Environments

“…Furthermore, the Gazebo-ROS framework allows a quick simulation and control of robots, since it allows the reuse of open source large capacity created to customize its use through customizable parameters depending on the robot and the desired simulation environment as well as the degree of reliability and precision of the expected physics, even though this will be a negotiation between the "degree of reality" and the available computing capacity. The rigid body dynamics already integrated into the physics engine ODE as default in Gazebo use solutions of the ordinary differential equations or spring-dumper models for physical properties in contacts between rigid bodies or soft bodies which could co-exist in the simulation environment in addition to algorithms of constraint methods or penalty systems that manage the impacts of collisions between bodies depending on the forces entered in each unit of time during the simulation [83]. After testing various techniques for modelling the rover in Gazebo, the authors used the 3D Solidworks design software to import the geometry of the rover into the simulation environment.…”

Fluid–Structure Interaction Modeling Applied to Peristaltic Pump Flow Simulations

“…A linear elastic model is not able to catch the finite deformation of the pipe [37]. All of that is also considered in the design of complex mechanical systems [38][39][40] that involved models with hysteresis [41,42] aimed to solve thermodynamic problems [43] and to perform dynamic analysis [44][45][46] and optimization [47][48][49] evaluating also the structural displacements.…”
