Novel Technology for Fermentation Process Monitoring and Quality Control of Alcoholic Beverages Based on Enzyme Electrodes and Kits

Objetivo

Food and beverage industries are of key importance for the economic development of the NIS countries especially for those having a long agricultural (viticultural) tradition. Production of high quality food and beverage products will allow these countries to export these goods to the European Union thus, process monitoring and quality control is of equal importance both for NIS and INTAS countries. Presently, fermentation process control and quality assessment is assured using highly sophisticated (and expensive) analytical methods often non-available (not affordable) in the NIS countries. Therefore, this inter-scientific research project targets the development of a novel industrial technology for fermentation process monitoring and quality control of alcoholic beverages based on enzyme electrodes and kits. It is very actual, since intends to solve an industrial problem of global importance.
The envisaged automated analysis system is based on using novel, highly selective enzymes, advanced biotechnological- (biosensors and arrays) and modelling expertise in combination with a necessary knowledge of the wine production process.

The research project involves 7 partners and integrates their complementary expertise to develop an automated analysis system with
(i) integrated enzyme kits and;
(ii) biosensors/biosensor arrays, which will be applied in beverage industry for discontinuous routine analysis, continuous process monitoring with feedback control, and for process development and modelling as well.
Research activities will be parallelly focused on the following five main research tasks:
screening of new enzyme sources (microbial and plants), isolation, purification, characterisation and production of novel key enzymes with improved selectivity and stability;
development of enzyme based kits with spectrophotometric detection and electrochemical biosensors/biosensor arrays for monitoring of key analytes (ethanol, glycerol, lactate, fructose, and glucose);
design and development of an automated analysis system integrating the new enzyme-based kits and biosensors;
mathematical modelling of the wine fermentation processes using the results obtained with biosensors and arrays, and;
application of the developed automated analysis system in routine assays during fermentation processes and quality control in wine industry.

The outcome of the project is important both for fundamental (e.g. screening and isolation of novel enzymes, engineering of electron transfer pathway, mathematical modelling) and applied research (development of an analysis system with integrated biosensors for industrial application).
The expected results will go far beyond the hereby presented exemplary application in wine industry, since
(i) will bring novel enzymes on the market;
(ii) will spin-off the development of other analytical fields (e.g. clinical analysis, environmental control, and fermentation technology);
(iii) will decrease the costs for standard analysis, and ;
(iv) will establish simple and relatively cheap analysis procedures.
