Evolución de los compuestos fenólicos durante el envero y la maduración en la DO Tarragona

Abstract

La evolución de los contenidos en las pieles de compuestos fenólicos (fenólicos totales, antocianos totales, antocianos individuales por HPLC, catequinas y proantocianidoles) a lo largo del envero y maduración han sido analizados en cepas de 7 años en 2 variedades, Cabernet Sauvignon y Tempranillo, en una zona correspondiente a la DO Tarragona. Asimismo, se efectuaron los análisis estándar (OIV) y de color para caracterizar los vinos obtenidos.
Los resultados muestran que la variedad Cabernet Sauvignon presenta una producción de antocianos por peso de baya superior a la que se obtiene con la variedad Tempranillo, a pesar que los niveles en compuestos fenólicos totales son similares para ambas. Los niveles de catequinas y proantociandinas son asimismo similares. Los análisis por HPLC muestran que ambas variedades presentan como antocianidina mayoritaria la malvidina durante toda la evolución. Sin embargo, hay diferencias notables en cuanto a la proporción de derivados acilados y al predominio del agente acilante (cumárico o acético).
En cuanto a los resultados de los análisis de los vinos, la variedad Cabernet Sauvignon produce vinos que alcanzan un grado alcohólico más elevado que Tempranillo. Los compuestos fenólicos y los antocianos se presentan en concentraciones más elevadas en Cabernet. Los rendimientos de cosecha indican mayores volúmenes en Tempranillo, variedad de racimo más grande que Cabernet Sauvignon. Si se considera el contenido en compuestos fenólicos alcanzado en Cabernet Sauvignon y se compara con resultados procedentes de otra zona vitícola con características edafoclimáticas distintas se observan diferencias. Debe destacarse el efecto del mesoclima en Tarragona, más lluvioso en verano, que conduce a producciones demasiado elevadas para conseguir una mayor concentración tánica: las condiciones climáticas durante el período estival en Tarragona no permiten alcanzar el contenido máximo en polifenoles.

Investigation on harvesting period choices for correct interpretation of experimental results

Happens too often in scientific papers to find the same harvesting period of a cultivar, although the used treatment influence a maturity curve of investigated thesis.
This inevitably leads to wrong conclusions when comparing the treatment effects, since obtained on maturity stages more or less far from those technologically correct.

Nitrogen metabolism in Kluyveromyces marxianus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae: towards a better understanding of fermentation aroma production

During wine alcoholic fermentation, yeasts produce volatile aroma compounds from sugar and nitrogen metabolism. Some of the metabolic pathways leading to these compounds have been known for more than a century.

“Compost Application in the Vineyard: Effects on Soil Nutrition and Compaction”

The mechanization of pruning and harvesting in vineyards has increased the risk of soil compaction. To reclaim soil properties or avoid this degradation process, it is crucial to properly manage the soil organic matter, and the application of compost derived from the vines themselves is a strategy to achieve this. The objective of this study was to evaluate the properties of soil treated with different doses of compost applied both on the vine row and the inter rows of a Vitis vinifera crop.

VINIoT – Precision viticulture service

The project VINIoT pursues the creation of a new technological vineyard monitoring service, which will allow companies in the wine sector in the SUDOE space to monitor plantations in real time and remotely at various levels of precision. The system is based on spectral images and an IoT architecture that allows assessing parameters of interest viticulture and the collection of data at a precise scale (level of grape, plant, plot or vineyard) will be designed. In France, three subjects were specifically developed: evaluation of maturity, of water stress, and detection of flavescence dorée. For the evaluation of maturity, it has been decided first to work at the berry scale in the laboratory, then at the bunch scale and finally in the vineyard. The acquisition of the spectral hyperstal image as well as the reference analyzes to measure the maturity, were carried out in the laboratory after harvesting the berries in a maturity monitoring context. This work focuses on a case study to predict sugar content of three different grape varieties: Syrah, Fer Servadou and Mauzac. A robust method called Roboost-PLSR, developed in the framework of this work (Courand et al., 2022), to improve prediction model performance was applied on spectra after the acquirement of hyperspectral images. Regarding the evaluation of water stress, to work with a significant variability in terms of water status, it has been worked first with potted plants under 2 different water regimes. The facilities have allowed the supervision of irrigation and micro-climatic conditions. The regression models on agronomic variables (stomatal conductance, water potential, …) are studied. To detect flavescence dorée, the experimental plan has consisted of work at leaf scale in the laboratory first, and then in the field. To detect the disease from hyper-spectral imaging, a combination of multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) and factorial discriminant analysis (FDA) was proposed. This strategy proved the potential towards the discrimination of healthy and infected leaves by flavescence dorée based on the use of hyperspectral images (Mas Garcia et al., 2021).

Methodology of climate modelling using land surface temperature downscaling: case study case of Gironde (France)

Aim: Climate modelling in viticulture introduced new challenges such as high spatio-temporal monitoring and the use of dependable time series and robustness modelling methods. Land surface temperature (LST) is widely used and particularly MODIS thermal satellite images due to their high temporal resolution (four images per day).
