Optimisation of accelerated ageing of grape marc distillate on a micro-scale process using a Box-Benhken design: influence of oak origin, fragment size and toast level on the composition of the final product
文摘
The ageing process, in wooden barrels, is used to improve the sensory quality of wines and distillates. This process, however, is costly, often leading to an alternative strategy of using wood fragments. The main aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of size, toast level and origin of the oak fragments on the composition of grape marc distillates.
