In order to develop the proposed novel enzyme-based industrial technology, research activities will be parallelly focused on the following main research tasks:

• screening of new enzyme sources (microbial and plants), isolation, purification, characterisation and production of novel key enzymes
• development of enzyme based kits with spectrophotometric detection and amperometric enzyme biosensors/biosensor arrays for monitoring of key analytes (ethanol, glycerol, lactate, fructose, and glucose)
• design and development of an automated analysis system integrating the new enzyme-based kits and biosensors
• mathematical modelling of the wine fermentation processes
• application of the developed automated analysis system in routine assays during the fermentation and quality control in beverage (wine) industry.
