IS (YUK!) YEAST CANNIBALISM. THE BONNER PARTY YEAST HAVE RUN OUT OF SUGARS TO EAT, SO THEY START DIGESTING THEIR NEIGHBORS. THIS IS WHY YOU NEED A SECONDARY FERMENTER, SO YOU CAN GET YOUR BREW OFF STARVING YEAST.
Self-disintegration of yeasts or bacteria.
The destruction of tissues or cells brought about by the actions of their own enzymes.
spontaneous disintegration of cells or tissues by autologous (self) enzymes, as occurs after death (post mortem) and in some pathologic conditions. Enzymatic degradation of proteins and other cellular compounds.
after fermentation is completed the dead yeast cells fall to the bottom of the tank/bottle and begin to decompose. Despite the fact it sounds foul, it adds an attractive bready aroma to the wine, and is important in sparkling wines and Champagnes.
The breakdown of yeast cells inside the sparkling wine bottle after the second fermentation is completed. This process contributes to the complexity and elegance of the wine.
This term describes the process by which live yeast consumes the sediment in the bottom of a fermentation vessel. This process often gives wines a bad flavor, but it can be avoided by racking frequently so that your wine doesn't stay on the lees too long.
An enzymatic process of cellular self-destruction. The usual decay process following death of a living body
The destruction of body cells by enzymes or macrophages
The decomposition of yeast cells remaining after fermentation. Yeast autolysis may occur in barrel after barrel fermentation resulting in richer, more complex white wines with a creamier texture. Autolysis is also the process which results in the yeasty characters in bottle fermented sparkling wines.
the interaction between enzymes and yeast in the bottle-fermentation stage of sparkling wine production.
A process in which starving yeast cells feed on each other by excreting enzymes; causes a rubbery stench in beer.
Chemical process where the yeast cells are broken down by teh enzymes they contain. Imparts a bready, yeasty quality to wines left on the lees.
When yeast run out of nutrients and die, they release their innards into the beer, producing off-flavors.
The destruction of a cell due to the rupture of lysosomal membranes in its cytoplasm.
disintegration of tissue by the body's own mechanisms.
Autolysis is the process by which a biological cell self-destructs. It is uncommon in adult organisms and usually occurs in injured cells or dying tissue. It occurs when a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes out of its membranes.
