WINE CHEMISTRY 2
AGR3WC2
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject builds on knowledge and skills developed in Wine Chemistry I with a focus on biochemistry and the chemical processes relevant to wine production. You will consider basic concepts of biochemistry such as molecular structure and function, organic molecules and compounds and stoichiometry. You will develop an understanding of biochemical structures and function related to wine chemistry that impact on alcoholic fermentation and wine quality with focus on nucleic acids and nucleotides; the citric acid cycle; proteins and protein synthesis; enzymes, coenzymes and allosteric enzymes; fats, esters and polymers; and vitamins in grapes and wines.
