Abstract

The evolution of the sulphur gases OCS, CS2 and DMS was monitored during the clarification of freshly harvested juices from Müller-Turgau and Riesling. Immediately after crushing OCS and CS2 levels began to increase, substantially favoured by high temperatures. When fermentation started concentrations decreased. DMS was found only in fermenting juices.
