  • Abstract
    The main physiological phenomena observed during the grape-must fermentation have been modelled based on a set of biological reactions in which nitrogen use is a major phenomenon. Moreover, a common practice in wine-making is the addition of nitrogen during the batch fermentation so as to boost and shorten the process duration. A tractable representation of this boost effect has therefore been developed and validated with experimental data.
