Pedological factor influence on the viticultural zoning of the Aljarafe Alto (Seville, Spain)

Abstract

Aljarafe Alto est une petite zone naturelle dans le département de Séville (Espagne), où le cépage autochtone cultivé est le Palomino Garrido Fino. Les auteurs étudient l’influence de 3 types de sols (sol Rouge fersialitique, sol brun calcaire et Rendsine blanche) sur 9 vignobles de la variété “Palomino Garrido Fino” du “Aljarafe Alto” (Seville).
Les résultats expérimentaux montrent des différences statistiquement significatives pour quelques caractéristiques du potentiel agronomique des sols et leurs conséquences sur le niveau de nutrition minérale des vignobles et sur la qualité des récoltes.
Le traitement statistique des paramètres oenologiques des microvinifications des moûts issus des vignobles étudiés montre le facteur pédologique comme le critère les plus relevant dans le zonage vitivinicole de la région Aljarafe Alto (Seville).

The Aljarafe Alto is a small natural area in the province of Seville (Spain), where the autochthonous vine is the cultivar Palomino Garrido Fino. The authors study the influence of 3 types of soils (Mediterranean red soil (calcic Rhodoxeralf); calcareous brown soil (calcixerolic Xerochrept); white Rendsina (calcicxerollic Xerorthent) in nine vineyard plots. The results reveal statistically significant differences in some characteristics of the agronomie fertility of the soils and, as a consequence, in the mineral nutrition stage of the plants and crop qualify.
Musts proceeding from the vineyard plots chosen for this study were fermented in laboratory. The results from statistical treatment of oenological parameters of these wine samples reveal the pedological factor to be the most relevant for the viticultural zoning of the Aljarafe Alto zone.

Oxygen consumption by diferent oenological tanins in a model wine solution

INTRODUCTION: Oenological tannins are widely used in winemaking to improve some characteristics of wines [1] being the antioxidant properties probably one of the main reasons [2]. However, commercial tannins have different botanical sources and chemical composition [3] which probably determines different antioxidant potential. There are some few references about the antioxidant properties of commercial tannins [4] but none of them have really measured the direct oxygen consumption by them. The aim of this work was to measure the kinetics of oxygen consumption by different commercial tannins in order to determine their real capacities to protect wine against oxygen. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 4 different commercial tannins were used: T1: condensed tannin from grape seeds, T2: gallotannin from chinese gallnuts, T3: ellagitannin from oak and T4: tannin from quebracho containing condensed tannins and ellagitannins.

Mechanistic insights into the bioavailability of oleocanthal and oleacein from olive oil in presence of wine active peptides and amino acids

Oleocanthal (OC) and oleacein (OL) are highly bioactive secoiridoids found in olive oil at elevated concentrations, especially when it is produced from unripe olives (Olea europaea L.). Both compounds have been correlated with strong activities against serious diseases through recent clinical trials. The most important clinical trials have been performed in patients against chronic lymphocytic
