Evaluation of mannoprotein formation by different yeast strains by enzymatic analysis of mannose and tribological estimation of astringency

Abstract

A positive role of mannoproteins on wine stability and red wine mouth sensations has been widely described. Commercial mannoproteins are available and some yeast strains are offered with a higher formation of mannoproteins. However, mannoprotein analysis is complex and its determination at cellar level is very limited. An adaptation of a relatively simple method of analysis of mannoproteins was developed, based on concentration of poly saccharides by membrane filtration, hydrolysis and enzymatic determination of mannose. The method was applied to the analysis of the mannoprotein content of wines fermented with different yeast strains deemed to produce high amounts of mannoproteins. Significant differences in mannoprotein concentration of red wines fermented with different strains was obtained. A tribological estimation of astringency also showed differences in the friction coefficient between wines. Sensory evaluation of wines using RATA (Rate all that Apply) with a panel of trained enologists showed significant differences only in some mouth parameters like dryness, grease, structure and bitter. Reasonable correlations between mannose concentration and friction coefficient were obtained only in wines coming from an earlier harvest. Correlations of mannose and friction coefficient with sensorial parameters were in general low except for dryness with friction coefficient in the early harvested wines. Even if significant, differences in mannoprotein concentration between strains were moderate, what can explain these results. Findings of this work propose an effect of mannoproteins on
sensory perception and opens the possibility to explore their effect on wine quality

Using combinations of recombinant pectinases to elucidate the deconstruction of the polysaccharide‐rich grape cell wall during winemaking

The effectiveness of enzyme-mediated maceration processes in red winemaking relies on a clear picture of the target (berry cell wall structure) to achieve the optimum combination of specific enzymes to be used. However, we lack the information on both essential factors of the reaction (i.e. specific activities in commercial enzyme preparation and the cell wall structure of berry tissue). In this study, the different combinations of pure recombinant enzymes and the recently validated high throughput cell wall profiling tools were applied to extend our knowledge on the grape berry cell wall polymeric deconstruction during the winemaking following a combinatorial enzyme treatment design.

Innovative approaches in the evaluation of the spatial and temporal biodiversity of grape varieties from the Portuguese Bairrada appellation using LIMM-PCA: a study across five harvests

Sustainable viticulture and winemaking continue to represent huge challenges, where a better knowledge about the functional role of biodiversity in the vineyard and wine ecosystems is required, as well as the varieties plasticity. Particular attention should be devoted to the spatial and temporal interactions between authorized or recommended varieties for a specific demarcated region and clime and vineyard conditions (such as soil type, orientation of the lines, age of the vine, density of planting, harvesting practices, among others).
