Mining terroir influence on bioactive polyphenols from grape stems: A correlation-network-driven approach to spatialize metabolomics data

Abstract

In viticulture, the concept of terroir is often used to enlighten the environmental-based typicity of grapevines grown in a local area however its scientific basis remains under debate. Grape polyphenols as key player of the plant defense system enables adaptation to environmental changes and so far, form a unique metabolic component to investigate the terroir influence. Using correlation-based networks and spatial metabolomics we investigated how continuous changes of soil properties may impact the polyphenol composition within a single grape clone. In a vineyard parcel covering four different geological layers and planted with a unique clone of Cabernet Franc, the soil texture was analyzed at 30 georeferenced points with a spatial coverage sampling strategy. Grape stems were harvested at corresponding positions over 3 consecutive years followed by UPLC-DAD-MS-based metabolomic analysis targeted on 43 metabolites including flavonoids, phenolic acids, procyanidins and stilbenoids. Principal component analyses on intra-vintage data presented good reproducibility. A correlation-driven approach was used to select co-varying metabolites before using Geographic Information System (GIS). As results, flavonoids and stilbenoid DP4 were spatialized according to soil granulometry, with stilbenoid DP4 over-accumulating in loamy-silty soils and flavonoids in sandy soils. The present study highlights soil-based terroir influence on polyphenols in a continuous space. Spatial metabolomics driven by correlation-based networks represents a powerful approach to spatialize field-omics data and may serve as new field-phenotyping tool in precision agriculture.

Exploring the physico-chemical modification of grape seed extracts to improve their clarifying effect in red wine

During winemaking, some byproducts are obtained, such as grape pomace, which represent 13% of winery byproducts.

Impact of chitosan treatment on the physico-chemical features of a sangiovese red wine

Chitosan is gaining interest in red winemaking thanks to its ability to inhibit the development of Brettanomyces spp. yeast, or other undesired wine microbial threats. However, little is known about potential side-effects of its addition on the physico-chemical parameters of red wines.

qNMR metabolomics a tool for wine authenticity and winemaking processes discrimination

qNMR Metabolomic applied to wine offers many possibilities. The first application that is increasingly being studied is the authentication of wines through environmental factors such as geographical origin, grape variety or vintage (Gougeon et al., 2019).

Determination of metallic elements in Chilean wines by atomic absorption spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry

The chemical composition of wines depends on series of variables such as the type of grape, edaphoclimatic conditions, and viticulture and winemaking practices employed during production. Metallic elements play a significant role during winemaking (e.g. as catalysts of oxidation reactions) and have been previously employed for the classification of wines according to provenance. In this work, we focused on the analysis of metallic elements (K, Na, Ca, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Cr, Al, Pb, Cd, Hg, Se, Co, Sn and As) in 145 Chilean wine samples (102 reds and 43 white wines), of seven grape varieties, and five of the major wine producing regions in Chile.

Identifying wild Vitis riparia Michx clones as a source of rootstock to mitigate vigour and acclimation/deacclimation cycles of the scion

Grapevine rootstocks have traditionally been chosen in order to manage scion vigour, soil pests and soil conditions. Riparia Gloire de Montpellier (RGM) has been in use since the turn of the 19th century, over 100 years and still a remarkably stable source of phylloxera (Daktulosphaeria vitifoliae Fitch) resistance. The original source material was probably collected near the Missouri/Mississippi river confluence, a mid-continental but more southerly location in the United States. It has been hypothesized that more northerly selections of V. riparia Michx might improve both fall acclimation rate and depth of the scion, thus mitigating late fall frost and midwinter freeze damage.
