Antimicrobial Activity of Chitosan from Different Sources Against Non-<i>Saccharomyces</i> Wine Yeasts as a Tool for Producing Low-Sulphite Wine by Francesco Tedesco, Rocchina Pietrafesa, Gabriella Siesto, Carmen Scieuzo, Rosanna Salvia, Patrizia Falabella, Angela Capece

“…Finally, the efficiency of different antimicrobial treatments was evaluated during laboratory-scale fermentations inoculated with a selected <i>S. cerevisiae</i> strain. The tested strains exhibited medium/high resistance to the chitosan; in some cases, the behaviour varied in the function of species/strain, and only four strains exhibited different resistance levels, depending on the chitosan source. …”
