Application

  • Influence of foliar fertilizers application on the volatile composition of red wines: This research discusses how foliar fertilization impacts the levels of ß-citronellol in red wines, noting that enhanced foliar nutrition can lead to increased concentrations of this compound. The study also examines the role of yeast metabolism in alcoholic fermentation, providing insights beneficial to both academia and industry focused on agricultural practices and fermentation science (D Dimitrov et al., 2023).
