Zygosaccharomyces rouxii: Control Strategies and Applications in Food and Winemaking
The genus Zygosaccharomyces is generally associated to wine spoilage in the winemaking industry, since a contamination with strains of this species may produce re-fermentation and CO2 production in sweet wines. At the same time, this capacity might be useful for sparkling wines production, since thi...
