Biogenic amines in wines: Influence of oenological factors
2008
Marques, A.P. | Leitao, M.C. | San Romao, M.V.
Biogenic amines formation results from the decarboxylation of the corresponding amino acids by action of microorganisms. The presence of these compounds is considered by some authors a fundamental parameter for detriment of alcoholic beverages. The aim of this work was to assay the effect of some oenological factors (viticulture region, grape variety, anti-fungi treatment of grapes, fermentation activators, malolactic starters and storage on lees) from the point of view of their influence on the biogenic amines content of wines. According to our results, it was possible to show that the viticulture region affects the amounts of amines, since wines of some regions present higher contents of amines than wines from other regions. Grape varieties appear to influence the wine amines content. Commercial malolactic starters, after careful selection, should be added to the vinification process in order to decrease the formation of biogenic amines, since in our assays the wines that were inoculated with starters present lower amounts of biogenic amines. The wine storage on lees contributes for a biogenic amines increase.
