Could non-Saccharomyces yeasts contribute on innovative brewing fermentations?
- Rafael Felipe Basso, A. Alcarde, C. Portugal
- Chemistry
- 1 August 2016
With the advances in the production of beer worldwide, more challenges arise each year in the search for new approaches to the development of distinctive beverages. Attempts to obtain products with… Expand
Brettanomyces susceptibility to antimicrobial agents used in winemaking: in vitro and practical approaches
- C. Portugal, Y. Sáenz, +4 authors F. Ruiz-Larrea
- Chemistry
- European Food Research and Technology
- 1 April 2014
Brettanomyces bruxellensis is a spoiling yeast responsible for developing off-odors in wine described as “Brett-character.” The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of… Expand
The role of spontaneous fermentation for the production of cachaça: a study of case
- C. Portugal, A. Alcarde, A. M. Bortoletto, A. D. P. Silva
- Biology
- European Food Research and Technology
- 7 March 2016
Abstract Artisanal cachaças are traditionally produced from spontaneous fermentation from sugarcane must in Brazil. The microbiological traits of such processes are still poorly understood, and this… Expand
Bacteriocins for wine microbiological control and reduction of SO2 levels
- F. R. Larrea, Beatriz Rojo Bezares, +5 authors Carmen Torres Manrique
- Biology
- 2007
Bacteriocins are peptides with antimicrobial activity that are naturally produced by some bacteria strains, which thus are able to inhibit the growth of other competing bacteria. Many bacteriocins… Expand

Potential spoilage yeasts in winery environments: Characterization and proteomic analysis of Trigonopsis cantarellii.
- C. Portugal, L. Pinto, Miguel Ribeiro, C. Tenorio, G. Igrejas, F. Ruiz-Larrea
- Biology, Medicine
- International journal of food microbiology
- 1 October 2015
Wine microbiota is complex and includes a wide diversity of yeast species. Few of them are able to survive under the restrictive conditions of dry red wines. In our study we detected and identified… Expand
How native yeasts may influence the chemical profile of the Brazilian spirit, cachaça?
- C. Portugal, A. P. de Silva, A. M. Bortoletto, A. Alcarde
- Chemistry, Medicine

- 2017
Cachaça is the typical Brazilian spirit, obtained by distillation of fermented sugarcane must, whose production is closely related to regional heritage and geographical traits. In this work, we… Expand
Comparison of Specific Real-Time PCR and Conventional Culture for Detection and Enumeration of Brettanomyces in Red Wines
- C. Portugal, F. Ruiz-Larrea
- Biology
- American Journal of Enology and Viticulture
- 1 March 2013
Brettanomyces/Dekkera is considered as one of the main causes of microbial spoilage and sensory deviations of red wines. This work compares the sensitivity and effectiveness of conventional… Expand
Karyology of species belonging to the genera Agriacris Walker 1870 and Staleochlora (Roberts & Carbonell 1992) with some considerations of romaleid phallic structures (Orthoptera, Acridoidea)
- A. Mesa, P. García-Novo, C. Portugal, A. Miyoshi
- Biology
- 1 June 2004
Abstract An up-dated list of species of the genera Agriacris and Staleochlora, whose karyotypes were previously published, is accompanied by fresh information on the chromosomes of A. jucunda and S.… Expand
Unraveling Brazilian bioethanol yeasts as novel starters for high-gravity brewing.
