Impact of aspects of the polysaccharide structure of mannoproteins on their interactions with Enological Tannins

Abstract

Mannoproteins (MPs) with different structure of their polysaccharide part (branching, substitutions, …) were used to better understand the impact of characteristics of the usual structure of MPs when interacting with Grape Seed Tannins (ST). 

From four Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains we obtain four MP pools: an enological strain LMD47 (presenting high levels of N-glycosylation and O-Mannosylation), a wild-type BY4742 strain (used as reference), and its mutants ΔMnn4 (with no mannosyl-phosphorylation) and ΔMnn2 (with a linear N-glycosylation backbone). The extraction method applied, with the exclusive enzymatic activity of Endo-β-1,3-Glucanase of Trichoderma sp. (E-LAMSE, Megazym), preserved the indigenous structure of mannoproteins to their utmost extent. Characterizations of the pools confirmed differences among the polysaccharide moieties of the four MPs regarding charge, mannose/glucose ratio, and branching degrees but no differences between their protein moieties.

The formation and evolution of colloidal aggregates due to interactions between MPs and ST at different concentrations were evaluated through Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), while the number of colloidal aggregates formed and the particle size distribution were assessed by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA). The possible differences in the mechanisms of interaction among the four kinds of mannoproteins were analyzed through Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC).

DLS and NTA experiments indicated an immediate formation of colloidal aggregates, in which the final particle size and concentration were dependent on the ST/MP ratio. Whenever the latter was extremely high, a very progressive flocculation related to a reversible aggregation occurred. The kinetics of this instability phenomenon was dependent on the polysaccharide structure of MPs. ITC analysis showed two different kinds of interactions: an intense exothermic one susceptible to temperature, and a much weaker interaction (as for enthalpy release) less thermo-dependent, possibly related to H-bonding and hydrophobic interactions, respectively. 

Neither the absence of mannosyl phosphate groups, the absence of ramifications on the outer chains of the N-glycosylation, nor the protein glycosylation overexpression seem to play a decisive role in those interactions. However, these structural differences affected the stability of MP-ST colloids formed at specific concentrations and slightly changed the enthalpy exchange profiles.

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California

San Joaquin Valley accounts for 40% of wine grape acreage and produces 70% of wine grape in California. Fruit quality is one of most important factors which impact the economical sustainability of farming wine grapes in this region. Due to the recent drought and expected labor cost increase, the wine industry is thrilled to understand how to improve fruit quality while maintaining the yield with less water and labor input. The present study aims to study the interactive effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on yield and berry compositions of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Application of a fluorescence-based method to evaluate the ripening process and quality of Pinot Blanc grape

The chemical composition of grape berries at harvest is one of the most important factors that should be considered to produce high quality wines. Among the different chemical classes which characterize the grape juice, the polyphenolic compound, such as flavonoids, contribute to the final taste and color of wines. Recently, an innovative non-destructive method, based on chlorophyll fluorescence, was developed to estimate the phenolic maturity of red grape varieties through the evaluation of anthocyanins accumulated in the berry skin. To date, only few data are available about the application of this method on white grape varieties.

Different yield regulation strategies in semi-minimal-pruned hedge (SMPH) and impact on bunch architecture

Yields in the novel viticulture training system Semi-Minimal-Pruned Hedge (SMPH) are generally higher compared to the traditional Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP). Excessive yields have a negative impact on the vine and wine quality, which can result in substantial losses in yield in subsequent vintages (alternate bearing) or penalties in fruit quality. Therefore yield regulation is essential. The bunch architecture in SMPH differs from VSP. Generally there is a higher amount but smaller bunches with lower single berry weights in SMPH compared to VSP.
