Application of grape pomace and stem extracts on Vitis vinifera L. cv. Monastrell: Increased stilbene content of grapes and wines

Abstract

Pomace and grape stems are the main solid organic waste from winery industries, resulting from the pressing and/or fermentation processes it is generated in large amounts in many parts of the world, and disposed of in open areas causing environmental and economic problems.1,2 Therefore, it is necessary to look for alternatives to revalue these bioproducts, making the winemaking process a more sustainable activity. Therefore, this work aims to determine whether grape pomace extracts can be used as elicitors to increase the biosynthesis of healthy compounds in wine grapes.The experiment was carried out in 2021. Two polyphenolic extracts were obtained: one from pomace and the other from grape stems. Subsequently, the extracts were sprayed on Vitis vinifera L. cv Monastrell at the beginning of veraison (1st application) and seven days later (2nd application). When grapes reached technological maturity, they were harvested and transported in boxes to the winery for physicochemical analysis and vinification. Wines were analyzed at the end of alcoholic fermentation.The results indicated a significant increase in the concentration of grape stilbenes, especially by treatment with pomace extracts. The following stilbenes were increased: T-piceid, piceatanol, C-piceid, T-resveratrol and viniferins. The wines produced also showed a higher concentration of stilbenes compared to the wines from control grapes; mainly T-resveratrol and viniferins were released into the wine.In this sense, stilbenes are of particular importance in plants as they are synthesized under biotic or abiotic stress, giving the plant greater resistance to fungal attack.3 On the other hand, resveratrol has been extensively studied for its importance in health, as it is attributed with antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, neuroprotective and cardioprotective properties.4 Therefore, these results show that the use of pomace and grape stem extracts are a very interesting alternative since they would allow: revaluing the winery’s bioproducts, reducing the use of synthetic pesticides and increasing the functional value of grapes and wines.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum – A versatile tool for biological deacidification

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is a secondary wine fermentation conducted by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This fermentation is important in winemaking as it deacidifies the wine, converting L-malic acid into L-lactic acid and carbon dioxide, and it contributes to microbial stability. Wine pH is highly selective, and at pH below 3.5 generally only strains of O. oeni can survive and express malolactic activity, while under more favorable growth conditions above pH 3.5, species of Lactobacillus and Pediococcus may conduct the MLF. Among the LAB species Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains have shown most interesting results under hot climate conditions, not only for their capacity to induce MLF, but also for their homo-fermentative properties towards hexose sugars, which makes them suitable for induction of MLF in high pH and high alcohol wines, when inoculated at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation.

Modification on grape phenolic and aromatic composition due to different leafroll virus infections

Viral diseases are reported to cause several detrimental effects on grapevine. Among them, leafroll, due to single or mixed infection of GLRaV1 and GLRaV3, and rugose wood, associated to GVA, are considered the most widespread and dangerous.

Identification of key-odorants in Sauternes Wines

The aim of the present work was to investigate Sauternes wines aromas. The flavor profiles of two wines (vintages 2002 and 2003) were investigated. Key-odorants have been determined by AEDA applied to Amberlite XAD-2 resin extracts. Various complementary techniques were used to identify the compounds (pHMB extraction, chemical synthesis of non-commercial standards, co-injections on two capillary columns, odor description at the sniffing port, GC-MS and GC-PFPD).

Comparison of the effects of hormone- and natural-based elicitors on key metabolic pathways in cv. Tempranillo

One of the most important effects of climate change in wine-growing areas is the advance of phenological stages, especially concerning early berry ripening. In the hottest seasons, this results in a lack of synchrony between sugar and phenolic ripeness. In order to cope with this fact, a general effort is being made by researchers and growers aiming at delaying ripening through different strategies. One of the proposed approaches is the application of elicitors. This study aims to assess the effect at the transcriptomic level of application of three elicitors (Vitalfit, Fruitel, and Protone) in Tempranillo.
