THE ONSET OF FERMENTATION: REAL-TIME MEASUREMENTS AND MODEL CALCULATION OF ETHANOL AND ACETALDEHYDE EMISSION

J. Oomens, S.T. Persijn, D.H. Parker
Under anoxia fruits can generate energy by alcoholic fermentation, thereby producing acetaldehyde and ethanol. We studied the ethanol and acetaldehyde emissions of various fruits during the onset of fermentation. Acetaldehyde and ethanol releases of a single piece of fruit were recorded with high time resolution using a photoacoustic spectrometer. A simple model was developed describing the acetaldehyde and ethanol release.
