The cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is made of mannoproteins bound to oligopolysaccharides which remain exposed on the outside of the cell. These mannoproteins are also bound to glucanos and chitin (Pretorius, 2000 Su z, 1997). The different polarities and the hydrophilic or hydrophobic nature of these wall polymers define the capacity of yeast to retain or adsorb different wine molecules such as volatile compounds, tty acids or pigments (Vasserot et al, 1997).
