Aspects 123: Advances in Cider and Wine Making Technology II: Digital

Description

INTRODUCTION

This is the second Aspects in Applied Biology book relating to the AAB Conference: Advances in Cider and Wine Making Technology workshop and extends on previous topics covered in the first workshop in 2011 and introduces advanced studies in specialist areas relevant to the industry.

Morning conference sessions included topics relevant to small scale production including orchard management and fruit selection, efficiencies in juice extraction, fermentation management and conditioning and quality assurance for consistency. This session was particularly relevant to small and craft scale producers looking to extend their understanding of the basic process and seeking to manage consistency in product character.

The afternoon talk session was more academic with a focus on advanced techniques currently under development and with potential for future application. Specific topics included the use of molecular biology in fruit and microbial identification, fruit and microbial genetics for product character and flavour, metabolomics in flavour analysis, dietary and nutritional characterisation of apple and fruit wines and sensory analysis technology.

A parallel afternoon session included a hands-on a laboratory workshop demonstrating basic analysis techniques for small scale production management. Participants were encouraged to bring their own fruit, cider and wine samples for analysis which were included in alcohol and gravity assessments, sugar and acid profiling, sulphur titrations and tannin assessments. Topics focused on yeast evaluation and bacteria identification using light microscopy and identification of fruit quality by visual and microscopic analysis.
