TY - JOUR T1 - Effect of Insoluble Solids on the Sulfur Dioxide Content and Rate of Malolactic Fermentation in White Table Wines JF - American Journal of Enology and Viticulture JO - Am J Enol Vitic.

After treating with 30 mg/L of sulfur dioxide, each juice was inoculated with a wine yeast culture, Montrachet #522. When the wines reached dryness, they were also inoculated with a malolactic bacteria, Leuconostoc oenos PSU-1. The results indicated that the rate of malolactic fermentation was influenced by the level of insoluble solids. Wines with the highest insoluble solids experienced the fastest rate of malolactic fermentation. In addition, the insoluble solids appeared to have an effect upon the sulfur dioxide content. Wines with the highest insoluble solids tended to be lowest in sulfur dioxide. ER -
