N assimilation: The manner in which N is assimilated by yeast depends on the source. Organic N (amino acids) is actively transported into the yeast cell. Through additional reactions N is incorporated into glutamine and glutamate and eventually used in the synthesis of other amino acids and nitrogenous compounds. This process is gradual and efficient compared to inorganic sources. Ammonium nitrogen (inorganic N) is consumed quickly and is less beneficial. Amino acid mixtures vs single N sources are more efficient because the yeast directly incorporates the amino acids into proteins rather than having to synthesize them. Ammonia, which exists as ammonium (NH4+) ions in must, is used by yeasts prior to amino acids. The presence of NH4+ delays timing and uptake of amino acids by yeast. The timing of N supplements and form of supplement will impact fermentation and volatiles. Types of N supplements include Diammonium phosphate (DAP), proprietary blends of DAP and amino acids (e.g. Superfood®, Fermaid K®, Actiferm) and balanced nutritional formulas containing inorganic N (e.g. Fermaid O®), organic N, sterols, yeast cell walls, fatty acids, yeast autolysis products and others. DAP is best used with low N musts. Other balanced nutrients should be added as well. At a rate of 100 mg/L DAP, 20 mg/L YAN is added.<ref name=kelly/> | N assimilation: The manner in which N is assimilated by yeast depends on the source.

Juice/must can be vitamin deficient as well as deficient in assimilable nitrogen when there is a high incidence of microorganisms (mold, yeast and/or bacteria). Growth of Kloeckera apiculata has been reported to rapidly reduce thiamine levels below those required by Saccharomyces sp. (18). Further, the use of SO2 may lead to additional reductions in levels of thiamine (15). Saccharomyces sp. has been shown to synthesize all required vitamins, with the exception of biotin. However, vitamin supplementation has been demonstrated to be stimulatory (19). Thus, it is usually desirable to add a mixed vitamin supplement with the nitrogen additions.<ref>Gump BH, Zoecklein BW, Fugelsang KC.
