This process of "pumping over" or "punching down" the cap is done often throughout the fermentation process, depending on the extent of maceration the winemaker desires. [1] An efficient and modern method of maceration is the "pneumatage process" in which compressed air or gas is sequentially injected into the juice.
Maceration of dried fruit in rum and apple juice. Maceration is the process of preparing foods through the softening or breaking into pieces using a liquid.. Raw, dried or preserved fruit or vegetables are soaked in a liquid to soften the food, or absorb the flavor of the liquid into the food.
Maceration, in chemistry, the preparation of an extract by solvent extraction; Maceration, in biology, the mechanical breakdown of ingested food into chyme; Skin maceration, in dermatology, the softening and whitening of skin that is kept constantly wet; Maceration, in poultry farming, a method of chick culling
Carbonic maceration techniques (e.g. semi-carbonic maceration) have recently been adapted to coffee processing. The ripe coffee cherries are placed inside a hermetic stainless steel tank and left to undergo an anaerobic fermentation. This fermentation process brings out intense aromas, with a taste profile akin to red wine and whisky.
French term for the process of pulling out wine from underneath the cap of grape skins and then pumping it back over the cap in order to stimulate maceration. Reserve cuvee In sparkling wine production , these are the still wines kept over from previous vintages in order to blend with the product of a current vintage in order to improve quality ...
In red wine production, the maceration process was traditionally done in large vats where the fermentation process would begin (in the picture this is noted by the presence of carbon dioxide bubbles). Secondary fermentation would take place when the wine is transferred to a second container such as a carboy or oak barrel.
Maceration generates very strong and distasteful odors, and is therefore usually done in a closed container in a ventilated area. Maceration is an alternative to the Dermestes method in which skin beetles are used to clean the flesh off of the corpse, a method which is used with corpses of small mammals , birds , reptiles , and amphibians ...
Grape-treading or grape-stomping is part of the method of maceration used in traditional wine-making. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Rather than being crushed in a wine press or by another mechanized method, grapes are repeatedly trampled in vats by barefoot participants to release their juices and begin fermentation .
