Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The quality of food products is among the most important parameters that influence consumer choices. Today, there is an increasing demand for high-quality wines with excellent organoleptic properties. High-quality wines attract consumers’ attention, increasing at the same time their awareness and willingness to pay more.
Original and review papers dealing with improving wine quality are welcomed for inclusion in this Special Issue that will focus primarily on the following:
- Compounds of technological importance (e.g., polyphenols, macromolecules, volatiles, etc.);
- Development of analytical methods;
- Microorganisms (e.g., yeast, bacteria);
- Impact of processing techniques and additives;
- Role of maturation and aging;
- Sensory characteristics of the wine connected with quality;
- Role of indigenous varieties;
- Environmental factors that affect wine quality;
- Impact of the climate change on wine quality parameters.
