RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Heat Release in Alcoholic Fermentation: a Critical Reappraisal JF American Journal of Enology and Viticulture JO Am J Enol Vitic. FD American Society for Enology and Viticulture SP 149 OP 153 DO 10.5344/ajev.1982.33.3.149 VO 33 IS 3 A1 Williams, Lynn A. YR 1982 UL http://www.ajevonline.org/content/33/3/149.abstract AB The theoretical basis for calculating the expected heat release during alcoholic fermentation is reviewed and updated, incorporating modern thermochemical data and modern concepts of microbial process stoichiometry and energetics. Historical and more recent experimental values of heat release are reviewed and evaluated. Errors in recent enological textbooks are discussed and corrected.
