RESUMO
Alcoholic fermentation in oenological conditions is a biological process carried out under significant physiological constraints: deficiency of nitrogen and other nutriments (vitamins, lipids ) and different stresses (pH and osmotic). In literature, few models have been proposed to describe oenological fermentations. They focused on the initial conditions and did not integrate nitrogen addition during the fermentation process which is a widespread practice. In this work, two dynamic models of oenological fermentation are proposed to predict the effects of nitrogen addition at two different timings: at the beginning of the process and during the fermentation experiment. They were validated and compared against existing models showing an accurate fit to experimental data for CO2 release and CO2 production rate.
