Overview

Albert Mas is affiliated with Rovira i Virgili University in Spain and has contributed extensively to research in agricultural and biological sciences, with a strong focus on food science and fermentation processes. Their work spans multiple subfields including plant science, molecular biology, and aspects related to tourism and hospitality management.

Mas' research primarily centers on fermentation and sensory analysis, horticultural and viticultural research, wine industry and tourism, microbial metabolic engineering and bioproduction, tea polyphenols and their effects, fungal and yeast genetics research, as well as sensory analysis and statistical methods.

The scientist has published several papers in notable journals, including:

  • "Strategies for microbiological control of the alcoholic fermentation in wines by exploiting the microbial terroir complexity: A mini-review", 2022, International Journal of Food Microbiology
  • "Nitrogen Preferences during Alcoholic Fermentation of Different Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts of Oenological Interest", 2020, Microorganisms
  • "A Rapid Method for Selecting Non-Saccharomyces Strains with a Low Ethanol Yield", 2020, Microorganisms
  • "Protective Effects of Melatonin on Saccharomyces cerevisiae under Ethanol Stress", 2021, Antioxidants
  • "Transcriptomic Insights into the Effect of Melatonin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the Presence and Absence of Oxidative Stress", 2020, Antioxidants

Albert Mas collaborates frequently with several co-authors in their field, including:

  • Gemma Beltran
  • M. Carmen Portillo
  • María-Jesús Torija
  • Nicolás Rozés
  • Helena Roca-Mesa

Their work has appeared repeatedly in selected publication venues reflecting a consistent research focus:

  • Microorganisms
  • Foods
  • Molecular Systems Biology
  • Ecocycles
  • SSRN Electronic Journal

Within the scope of their research, Mas addresses topics including the sensory and chemical analysis of fermentation products, the complexity of microbial terroir in winemaking, and genetic and molecular mechanisms of yeast behavior under stress conditions.

Mas' interdisciplinary approach links biological sciences with applied areas such as food production, viticulture, and aspects of tourism related to the wine industry. This integration supports a comprehensive understanding of microbial interactions and fermentation dynamics relevant to both academic research and practical applications in the wine sector.
