The use of S. pombe and T. delbrueckii strains in sequential and mixed
fermentations with S. cerevisiae may potentially improve the sensory
profile of red wine by enhancing the aromatic complexity and increasing
colour stability. As for the impact of each type of inoculation,
mixed fermentations performed better with regard to the aroma and
the structure of the wine by increasing its fruity character and polyols
content, while by carrying out sequential fermentations with S. pombe,
better results were obtained in the formation of stable pigments.
