Resum

The effect of fermentation temperature of grape juice on the utilization of assimilable nitrogen was investigated. Temperature influenced amino acid consumption by yeasts during fermentation. The most abundant amino acids in the juice, except proline, were utilized rapidly from the beginning of fermentation, and more rapidly at high than at low temperatures. Higher postfermentation levels of most amino acids occurred at low temperatures than at high temperatures. The weaker assimilation of amino acids at low fermentation temperatures was consistent with a slow rate of fermentation.
