Produção de vinho fino enriquecido em resveratrol

Abstract

Wine is a drink known since antiquity and widespread in various countries and cultures. One of the advantages of wine consumption refers to its composition where a substance called resveratrol is present, which has antioxidant properties. WEMB Wines will seek to stand out for the production of fine red wines enriched in resveratrol. To proceed with the analysis of technical and economic feasibility of implantation of the industrial unit, the following activities were carried out: market analysis, selection of the productive route, selection and dimensioning of process equipment, assembly of the layout and economic analysis. From the market analysis, it was found that the most suitable place for installing the industrial unit was the Rio Grande do Sul campaign, specifically in the city of Santana do Livramento - RS, due to the availability of raw material and favorable location for the logistics of the enterprise. The factory was dimensioned to process approximately 560 tons per year, resulting in the production of approximately 460 tons of red wine, allowing the filling of 615,000 bottles of 750 mL. The differential of the process, with what is currently established, will be the use of an ion exchange system to remove tartaric salts and enrich the wine with resveratrol, a beneficial product for health. The production of resveratrol in the grape should be induced by subjecting the grape berries to UV radiation. In the economic analysis, it was found that the enterprise is viable, since the net present value (NPV) was positive and the calculated payback was 50 years.
