Abstract
Production of low-alcohol fruit wines can be a viable alternative for using different fruit species, besides offering healthier options to consumers. Thus, this work aimed to survey scientific articles and patent documents regarding the production of low-alcohol fruit wines. The search for articles was performed on the Scopus platform, whereas the patent search was performed on Espacenet®. Both searches were performed using the combination of the words “low-alcohol” AND “fruit” AND “wine”, which showed 404 articles and 420 patents, respectively. However, only 52 and 101 documents were selected for formal analysis, respectively. The annual evolution of articles and patents shows an increase in interest in this research area, with 28 articles and 30 patents published since 2018. The bibliometric analysis showed that most articles are published in the Agriculture and Biological Sciences research area. China stood out as the leading affiliation country of the article’s authors (n = 20) and with the most significant number of patents (n = 87). The use of non-Saccharomyces yeast strains appears as the primary emergent technology, as well as the utilization of nonconventional fruit for the fermentation, such as sea buckthorn, pomegranate, and blackberry. It was possible to note a more expressive growth in the production of low-alcohol wines in the past decades, which shows that this technology has become more promising for the exploitation and valorization of fruits, especially native and exotic ones.
