Abstract
During alcoholic fermentation, a considerable amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced, and the stream of CO2 can strip aromatic substances from the fermenting must. Aroma losses during fermentation can be significant and may lead to a reduction in wine quality. This study is focused on new fermentation gas capture technology. In the experiment, gas was captured during the fermentation of sauvignon blanc must. The concentration of individual volatile compounds in the fermentation gas was determined using gas chromatography, and the highest values were achieved by isoamyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol and ethyl decanoate. Ethyl dodecanoate achieved the lowest values of the investigated volatile substances. For sensory assessment, quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) compared water carbonated with fermentation gas and water carbonated with commercial carbon dioxide for food purposes. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the captured gas containing positive aromatic substances is suitable for the production of carbonated drinks in the food industry.
