Les propriétés de réflectance du sol de la parcelle sont à considerer comme des paramètres du terroir

Abstract

Suite à des expérimentations de solarisation artificielle réalisées en 1999 en conditions réelles de culture, à partir de matériels réfléchissants partiellement colorés en vert, en bleu, ou en rouge, on démontre que la sollicitation de la vigne par une réflexion rouge (vers 670 nm) est significativement plus efficace que toute autre réflexion colorée pour améliorer la qualité des raisins à la récolte, celle-ci étant jugée à la fois à partir des analyses biochimiques et à partir des dégustations. Les raisins “solarisés” en environnement lumineux rouge sont plus gros, plus sucrés, un peu moins acides et plus réguliers en taille et en couleur. Par ailleurs, dans le cas des raisins de table, la couleur des baies et le rendement commercial après tri sont significativement améliorés.
Les résultats suggèrent fortement que les propriétés optiques et spectrales (la réflectance) de la surface du sol de la parcelle (et aussi de l’environnement général de la souche) doivent, de la même façon que les revêtements de solarisation, influencer le développement et la qualité des raisins. Ces propriétés devraient être prises en compte dans les explications de l’effet terroir.
Aux niveaux physiologique et moléculaire, les auteurs considèrent que les effets bénéfiques liés à la lumière rouge doivent être spécifiquement médiatisés par l’équipement phytochromique de la vigne

Assessment of alternative sweetening methods for dealcoholized wine

In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for non-alcoholic wine with an ethanol content of less than 0.5% v/v. The dealcoholization process can take place by various methods, such as vacuum distillation or membrane technologies like osmotic distillation. Compared to distillation, membrane systems often require multiple passes or a combination of multiple separation methods. Complete or almost complete removal of ethanol significantly changes the sensory characteristics of wine.

Innovations in the use of bentonite in enology: interactions with grape and wine proteins, colloids, polyphenols and aroma compounds.

The use of bentonite in oenology rounds around the limpidity and the stability that determine consumer acceptability. As a matter of fact, the haze formation in wine reduces its commercial value and makes it unacceptable for sale. Stabilization treatments are, therefore, essential to ensure a long-time limpidity and to forecast the formation of deposits in the bottle. Bentonite that is normally used in oenology for clarifying-fining purpose, shows a natural clay-based mineral structure allowing it to swell and to jelly in water and hence in must and wine.

Effect of irrigation regime on carbon isotope ratio (δ13c) in different grapevines

In Castilla-La Mancha as other winegrowing regions, vineyards suffer the effects of the global climate warming. Severe spring and summer droughts are increasingly frequent, which concur with the phenological stages most susceptible to water and temperature stress. Under these conditions, irrigation use is required in order to ensure the vineyard growing sustainability. However water resources are increasingly limited, for this reason is required to choose cultivars displaying high water use efficiency.

The characterization of Vitis vinifera L cv. Cabernet sauvignon: the contribution of Ecklonia maxima seaweed extract

Biostimulants and biofertilizers are considered environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives to synthetic fertilizers, plant growth regulators and crop improvement products. Broadly, plant biostimulants are expected to improve nutrient use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, quality traits and availability of nutrients in the soil or rhizosphere. Currently, seaweed extracts account for more than 33% of the total plant biostimulant market. Within this category, Ascophyllum nodosum (AN), is the most widely studied and applied in biostimulant formulations.

Exploring the impact of yeast derivatives on aromatic and sensory profiles of white and red wines: a multifactorial analysis

Specific inactivated yeast derivatives (SYDS) are obtained from s. cerevisiae yeasts by various processes (thermal, mechanical, and enzymatic) and have diverse oenological applications to improve wine quality. However, different impacts on wine sensory and aromas were reported, depending on syds types and fractions, wine matrices, and experimental settings. Few works have examined the impact of SYDS on aromas considering also those on wine macromolecules influencing organoleptic properties.
