Rationalizing The Wine Nucleophilic Competition For Quinone Addition

Abstract

Protecting white wine against early oxidation is a worldwide issue, because the uncontrolled oxidation of wine promotes aromatic loss and color browning which lead to wine unacceptance by consumers. These changes are mainly driven by the consumption of oxygen by polyphenols leading to the production of quinones which are oxidant compounds. Quinones can react with numerous nucleophilic compounds notably aromatic thiols, decreasing the aromatic bouquet of the wine.

The nucleophilic addition reaction of standard compounds on 4 methyl-1,2-benzoquinone (4MeQ) can be monitored over time by mass spectrometry (MS). The addition of GSH on 4MeQ follows an apparent first order kinetic which is easy to monitor and fit with simple mathematical model. The best fit with first order kinetic (adjusted R² > 0.98) enables to estimate GSH-half-life which is related to the effective competition of other compounds present in solution. This model firstly applied on model solution with known concentrations in nucleophilic compounds (amino acids, peptpides), was then used to estimate the nucleophilic activity of inactivated yeast’s soluble fractions to classify these enological additives. The GSH-half-life ranged from 4.6 to 69.3 hours depending on the GSH accumulation process initially involved in the yeast enrichment process. Our results clearly show that the process of glutathione accumulation in yeast favors the co-accumulation of additional nucleophilic compounds, with the most interesting consequence that the GSH itself appears to be preserved. This methodology reveals that the kinetics of reference nucleophiles addition to a quinone, can rationalize the non-GSH fraction contribution to the global nucleophilic properties of complex matrices.

WINE SWIRLING: A FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE UNLOCKING OF THE WINE’STASTER GESTURE

Right after the pouring of wine in a glass, a myriad of volatile organic compounds, including ethanol, overwhelm the glass headspace, thus causing the so-called wine’s bouquet [1]. Otherwise, it is worth noting that during wine tasting, most people automatically swirl their glass to enhance the release of aromas in the glass headspace [1]. About a decade ago, Swiss researchers revealed the complex fluid mechanics underlying wine swirling [2]. However, despite mechanically repeated throughout wine tasting, the consequences of glass swirling on the chemical space found in the headspace of wine glasses are still barely known.

Influence of preflowering basal leaf removal on aromatic composition of cv. Tempranillo wine from semiarid climate (Extremadura Western Spain)

Abstract In this work the effects of early leaf removal performed manually at preflowering phenological stage, on the volatile composition of Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) wines were studied. From 2009-2011 vintages 34 wine volatile compounds were identified and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) where early leaf removal only modified 25 of them. The total C6 compounds, acetates and volatiles acids (with exception of isobutyric acid) were affected by defoliation, whereas alcohols and esters showed a minor effect. Furthermore the vintage effect also was shown.

Combined use of leaf removal and natural shading to delay grape ripening in Manto negro (Vitis vinifera L.) under deficit irrigation 

The increasingly frequent heat waves during grape ripening pose challenges for premium wine grape production. This makes the development of irrigation and canopy management techniques of great importance to maximize yield and grape quality. A field experiment was carried out during 2021 and 2022 using Manto negro wine grapes to study the effect of two irrigation strategies and different light exposure levels on grape quality.
