Phenolic acid characterization in new varieties descended from Monastrell.

Abstract

Phenolic acids are phytochemicals that are expansively distributed in daily food intake. Phenolic acids are involved in various physiological activities, such as nutrient uptake, enzyme activity, protein synthesis, photosynthesis, and cytoskeleton structure in seeds, leaves, roots, and stems. Also exhibit antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory activities due to their antioxidant property.
Climatic conditions are generally believed to largely determine the formation of specific wine characteristics of certain grape varieties. In addition, a continuous increase in global temperature is responsible for a significant decrease in wine quality since excessive sugar contents result in a high alcohol content, low acidity, imperfect colour and negative effects on the flavour of wine due to the uncoupling of ripening from phenolic compound production (delayed) and to technological processing (accelerated). By this reason, our research centre (IMIDA), has carried out a genetic improvement program with the Monastrell variety, in order to obtain improved and adapted varieties. In this line, Monastrell has been crossed with others such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah (MC80, MC98, MS10, MC18, MC4 and MS104).
This study represents the first data of phenolic acid composition of new varieties obtained from crosses with Monastrell. Phenolic acids are divided into hydroxy-benzoic (HBA) and hydroxycinnamic (HCA). The main HBA acids present in juices and wines are protocatechuic, vanillin, gallic and syringic, and the main HCA are p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic, and cis and trans cinnamic acid: caftaric, cutaric and fertaric.
During two consecutive seasons (2020 and 2021) the profile of phenolic acids from Monastrell and six new varieties have been studied in grapes and wines. The metabolites analysed were gallic, protocatechuic, vanillin, syringic, coumaric, caffeic, ferulic, caftaric and cutaric acids. MC80, MC98 and MS10 obtained high concentrations of these phenolic acids in their grapes and wines compared to Monastrell variety.
In short, these new varieties have higher concentrations in phenolic acids compared to Monastrell so given their potential health benefits, phenolic acids have attracted considerable research interest. Therefore, these new varieties could have an interesting point of view in human health due to their rich nutrients in their wines.

Chemical composition of press and free-run wines from three vintages and Bordeaux grape varieties. A comprehensive analysis

Press wines play a crucial role in red winemaking, representing up to 15% of the final blend [1]. Optimizing their value is essential both economically and for maintaining wine identity, especially given evolving climatic and societal challenges. However, little recent research exists on their composition.

Management of grapevine water status with the DSS Vintel® provides evidence of sustainable irrigation strategies while maintaining wine quality of Pinot gris in Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, NE italy

Deficit irrigation strategies can be valuable means to improve grape quality while saving important amounts of water. A simple way to use deficit irrigation can be based on irrigating a vineyard with a determined level of crop evapotranspiration. Using a precise physiological parameter indicating water status, irrigation could be managed to maintain a specific pre-dawn leaf water potential.

Méthode et outils de valorisation des terroirs en cave coopérative

Depuis le début des années 90, les vignerons des Caves Coopératives de l’Appellation “Côtes du Rhône” se sont penchés, au sein des structures de réflexion du Syndicat Général, sur deux axes de réflexion:
– Détermination des critères de sélection et de rémunération différenciée des apports de vendange;
– Organisation des sélections de vendanges sur la base des terroirs afin d’augmenter quantitativement le potentiel de sélection au sein de l’unité de production.

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.

Viticultural zoning of the country of Mendoza, Argentina. Study of the first zone : department of Luján de Cuyo. Statement of the study year 2002

La région viticole de Mendoza est la principale zone vitivinicole d’Argentine qui se compose de 3 oasis (Nord, Valle de Uco, Sud). La première zone vitivinicole, située dans l’oasis Nord, est composée par les département de Luján de Cuyo et Maipu. C’est la zone de production la plus ancienne et la plus reconnue pour la qualité de sa production. Ce travail se porte plus particulièrement sur le département de Luján de Cuyo qui constitue le lieu traditionnel de production du Malbec argertin. Ce travail propose de caractériser les terroirs et de mettre en avant leurs typicités.
