We participated in the 5th European Horticulture Congress and the symposium Viticulture & Winemaking between Tradition & Innovation, held in Bucharest from May 12th to 16th, 2024, under the support of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS).

PhD student Ana Boban had a short oral presentation titled “Impact of Autochthonous Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts on Wine Aroma Complexity”, co-authored by Ana Boban, Urska Vrhovsek, Silvia Carlin, Vesna Milanović, Jasenka Gajdoš Kljusurić, and Irena Budić-Leto.

The presentation showcased the initial results of the aromatic profile of Maraština wine, produced using different autochthonous non-Saccharomyces yeasts in sequential fermentation with Saccharomyces yeast.

The results indicate the positive influence of certain genera and strains of yeasts on increasing the concentration of volatile metabolites in the wine’s aroma.
