Abstract excerpt
Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is the bacterially driven decarboxylation of L-malic acid to L-lactic acid and carbon dioxide, and brings about deacidification, flavour modification and microbial stability of wine. The main objective of MLF is to decrease wine sourness by a small increase in wine pH via the metabolism of L-malic acid. Oenococcus oeni is the main lactic acid bacterium to conduct MLF in virtually all...
