Funded Activity Summary
Evaluation of High-Power Ultrasound as an Innovative Tool for Sanitation, Colour/Flavour Extraction and Fermentation Enhancement in Wine Making. The multibillion-dollar wine industry forms a significant part of the Australian economy especially in regional areas. The application of high power ultrasound (HPU) to the cleaning and disinfection of wine barrels as well as for the enhancement of wine through improved fermentation and extraction of flavours and colours from grapes will have significant benefits to this industry. It is essential that Australia also capitalise on the benefits that this technology can provide in improved processing and products, lower costs, reduction in environmental pollution, water re-use and replacement of "dirty" energy. In this way the impact on this industry will help cement Australia's position in the world wine market long into the future.Funded Activity Details
