Effect Of Grape Polysaccharides On The Volatile Composition Of Red Wines

Abstract

Yeast mannoproteins and derivates are polysaccharides produced from the cell walls of different yeast strains widely used in the winemaking and finning of wines to improve their overall stability and sensory properties. Some studies reported that mannoproteins maintain the wine aroma tending to be more appealing. On the contrary, grape polysaccharides are not commercially available, and the recovery of these compounds from grape by-products is nowadays a great challenge for the oenological research. These polysaccharides have a great potential in organoleptic finning since they have been reported to modulate the wine quality, as arabinogalactans which interacts with wine aroma compounds and increase their volatility (Ribeiro et al., 2014; Rinaldi et al., 2021).
In this study grape polysaccharide extracts obtained from different sources were used as finning agents at bottling in three wines from Vitis vinifera L. cv. Tempranillo and Graciano. Their effect on the volatile composition and profile was analyzed. Polysaccharides extracts were obtained from white pomace by-products (WP), red pomace by-products (RP), white must (WM), red must (RM), red wine (RW), and lees recovered after the winemaking (RL). Two more extracts with higher purification degrees were used (PE1 and PE2). The results were compared with a control (C) wine sample and with mannoproteins commercially available (CM).
The analysis of volatile compounds was performed using a GC-MS after a liquid-liquid extraction as described by Oliveira et al., 2006. Discriminant analyses were performed to differentiate the red wines by the fining extract used. WM, RM and CM wines were characterized by high contents of alcohols, C6 alcohols, some esters as ethyl isovalerate, acetates, acids, and terpenes. On the other hand, RW, RP, and RL wines were characterized by high contents of ethyl esters as ethyl lactate, ethyl hexanoate and ethyl octanoate, and volatile phenols, specially 4-vinylguaiacol and 4-ethylguaiacol. The wines treated with PE1 and PE2 were those which presented the lowest concentrations on most of the volatile compounds detected. Discriminant analyses showed that the use of the polysaccharide extracts modified the volatile composition of the wines.

First insights on the intra-species diversity in V. berlandieri: environmental adaptation and agronomic performances when used as rootstock

In grafted plants, such as grapevine, increasing the diversity of rootstocks available to growers is an ideal strategy to get adaptation to climate change. The rootstocks used for grapevine are hybrids of various American Vitis, including V. berlandieri. The rootstocks currently used in vineyards are derived from breeding programs involving very small numbers of parental individuals.

Oenological features of Sangiovese wine from vinification of whole grape berries

The present study was performed in a traditional winery located in the viticultural area of Brunello di Montalcino, Siena, Italy, in the vintage 2015. Actually, in this winery Sangiovese grape musts are fermented in large oak barrels by a single strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae previously isolated in the same winery. Pumping over operations are carried out once or twice a day until the end of alcoholic fermentations. The aim of this work was to investigate on the oenological properties of Sangiovese wine produced with the traditional winemaking process adopted by the winery under study obtained from the fermentation of whole berries compared to that from crushed grape must. In particular, two lots of 65q of Sangiovese grapes from the same 3ha vineyard were vinified in 150hL oak barrels.

A NEW TOOL TO QUANTIFY COMPOUNDS POTENTIALLY INVOLVED IN THE FRUITY AROMA OF RED WINES. DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION TO THE STU-DY OF THE FRUITY CHARACTER OF RED WINES MADE FROM VARIOUS GRAPE VARIETIES

A wide range of olfactory descriptors ranging from fresh and jammy fruit notes to cooked and oxidized fruit notes could describe the fruity aroma of red wines [1]. The fruity character of a wine is mainly related to the grape variety selected, to the terroir and the vinification process applied for its conception. In white wines, some volatile compounds confer directly their aroma to the wine while the question of “key” compound is more complex in red wines. According to many studies performed over the past decades, some fruity ethyl esters are directly involved in the fruity perception of red wines while others, present at subthreshold concentrations, participate indirectly to the fruity expression via perceptive interactions [2].

Characterizing chemical influences of smoke on wine via novel application of 13c-labelled smoke

Smoke impact is an ongoing and growing issue for vintners across the globe, with the west coast of the U.S. and Australia being two of the largest wine industries impacted. Wine has shown to be especially sensitive to smoke exposure, often acquiring off-flavor sensory characteristics, such as “burnt rubber”, “ashy”, or other medicinal off-flavors.1 While several studies have examined the chemical composition of smoke influences on wine, some studies disagree on what compounds are having the largest impact on smell and flavor.2 This study is designed as a bottom-up approach to inventory the chemical compounds derived from smoke from a grassland-like fire that are potentially influencing wine chemical composition.
