Resum:
The potential use of Torulaspora delbrueckii as a starter culture for wine alcoholic fermentation has become a subject of interest in oenological research. The use of this non-Saccharomyces yeast can modulate different wine attributes, such as aromatic substances, organic acids and phenolic compound compositions. Thus, the obtained wines are different from those fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the sole starter. Nevertheless, information about the possible effects of T. delbrueckii chemical modulation on subsequent malolactic fermentation is still not fully explained. In general, T. delbrueckii is related to a decrease in toxic compounds that negatively affect Oenococcus oeni and an increase in others that are described as stimulating compounds. In this work, we aimed to compile the changes described in studies using T. delbrueckii in wine that can have a potential effect on O. oeni and highlight those works that directly evaluated O. oeni performance in T. delbrueckii fermented wines.© 2023 The Authors.
