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.

Merano Wine Festival 2020

IVES was a partner of the Merano Wine Festival (innovation section), a digital event held from 6 to 10 November 2020. During this festival participants attended scientific conferences on cutting-edge topics for the wine industry. Some of the topics covered have been selected from our journals

Evidence of successful wine business strategies: customer acquisition, value or retention?

This presentation illustrates a series of successful wine businesses, which have managed to counter the downward trend impacting the global industry. How these businesses have been successful is explained through the planning and execution of strategies that focused on a clear and consistent aim in attracting new consumers. These cases add weight to the ehrenbergian position that for a business to be successful it must target new customers as a priority over alternative options like increasing value or improving customer retention.

Juice carbon isotope discrimination is related to vine growth and fruit quality of Barossa Shiraz

Aim: Interactions between soil, climate and management that modulate vine growth, yield and grape composition are strongly defined by vine water availability and nutrient uptake during the season. Carbon isotope discrimination (δ13C) has been used as an integrative measurement of vine water availability during the season, with the potential to identify spatial variations of terroir in

Metabolomic profiling of heat-stressed grape berries 

The projected rise in mean air temperatures together with the frequency, intensity, and length of heat waves in many wine-growing regions worldwide will deeply impact grape berry development and quality. Several studies have been conducted and a large set of molecular data was produced to better understand the impact of high temperatures on grape berry development and metabolism[1]. According to these data, it is highly likely that the metabolomic dynamics could be strongly modulated by heat stress (HS).

Water and physiological response to early leaf removal of cv. Verdejo in rainfed conditions, at different times of the day, in the D.O. Rueda (Spain)

Aim: Early leaf removal, generally applied before flowering, is mostly conceived as a technique to control grape yield and improve the health of grapes and focused on the final objective of increasing wine quality.
