Popis: The aim of the study was to evaluate the oxygen consumption kinetics of some inactivated dry yeasts in comparison with those of sulfur dioxide, ascorbic acid and glutathione.The oxygen consumption rates of three inactivated dry yeasts, sulfur dioxide, ascorbic acid and glutathione at the usual doses in a model wine solution were determined by carrying out noninvasive fluorescence measurements. The results indicate that two of the studied inactivated dry yeasts consume oxygen more effectively than sulfur dioxide. These data suggest that some inactivated dry yeasts may be useful for protecting wine against oxidation.This study shows for the first time that inactivated dry yeasts can actually consume oxygen, therefore opening up an interesting area for future research.
