This technology is especially suitable for the winemaking sector and the cork industry, to stabilize the environments of the different processes and operations to the maximum.
By installing Airpurtec purification systems in the different rooms, the most inert environments possible are created, devoid of viruses, fungi, bacteria (LAB among others). Therefore, with the application of this technology, the concentrations of cfu "colony forming units", existing in all environments, are drastically reduced.
One of the main problems in the wine and cork industry is the so-called "cork flavor", although the name "musty flavor" is more correct, once the wine has been bottled. The main responsible for transferring this unpleasant aroma of wet cardboard or humidity to the wine is 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA), although other compounds are also involved. The main route of formation of chloroanisoles is through an O-methylation mediated by microorganisms, especially fungi, at certain temperature and humidity conditions, so that the result is a poor quality wine that cannot be marketed in the market. .
