What metabolomics teaches us about wine shelf life

Abstract

The metabolomics era started about 22 years ago, and wine was one of the first foodstuff subjects of analysis and investigation by this technique. Wine, which is most likely the richest food in terms of number of metabolites, was an excellent chemical model solution for chemists to explore the potentialities of this new technique, which enable untargeted study. Since then, metabolomics techniques were applied in several oenological studies shedding light on numerous questions from vine to glass.
In fact, metabolomics techniques helped us to gain knowledge on the chemical modifications taking place during the wine aging and shelf life, which has a paramount importance since wine is one of the few foods that aging may improve its sensorial character and economical value. Recently, the combination of well-designed experiments, high-resolution mass spectrometers and modern informatic tools opened new roads for better understating how primary and secondary metabolites are modified during aging, and we learned new reactions taking place or followed in detailed reactions which were not very clear. This talk will provide a snapshot of recent publications regarding the behaviour of wine’s metabolome during shelf life.

How different SO2 doses impact amino acid and volatile profile of white wines

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is a well-established preservative in the wine industry. Its ability to act in different stages of the process as an antioxidant and an antiseptic as main characteristics makes it versatile. However, the need for its reduction or even its replacement has been increasing by the regulatory authorities as well as by the final consumer. To understand the impact of SO2 during ageing on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and amino acids (AAs) profiles, two white wines (one varietal and one blend) were aged under the same conditions, in the presence of different doses of SO2. After fermentation (t=0), 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 mg/L of SO2 were applied, wines were kept over lees for 3 months (t=3), then were bottled after 3 (t=6) and 9 (t=12) months.

Regional discrimination of shiraz using targeted and non-targeted analytical approaches

Aims: Shiraz is the most widely cultivated grape variety in Australia, and is grown under a range of viticultural and climatic conditions. Given its importance to the Australian wine sector, a number of studies have been conducted in recent years which involved a comprehensive assessment of grape composition, in order to objectively predict wine quality and style outcomes.

Soil electrical resistivity measurement: from terroir characterization to within-field crop inputs management

Soil Electrical Resistivity measurement is a zoning tool used by soil scientists and agronomists in viticulture. Indeed, the measure enables to optimize pedological surveys

Rapid measurement of phenolic quality as a useful tool for viticultural zoning

Un des principaux objectifs du zonage viticole est l’individuation des zones plus indiquées à la production de vins de haute qualité en relation aux cépages. Ceperrlant depuis beaucqup d’années, entre les paramètres de qualité du raisin, on n’a pas considéré les substances phénoliques par effet de l!l difficulté d’analyse en temps rapides.
