3A Sparkling Wines and Yeast Autolysis 75
case for the release kinetics of some compounds, such as lipids or nucleotides, and
some molecular mechanisms, such as those involved in the induction of autolysis
are still unknown. This knowledge could help to reveal potential targets to acceler-
ate the autolytic process. All the advantages of the molecular principles and basic
aspects of autophagy and autolysis may be potentially useful for the future of yeast
biotechnology.
