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.

Building of a hierarchy of wines based on terroirs: an initiative from the producers of Muscadet

The Muscadet area is situated in the southeast of Nantes, close to the Atlantic coast. It constitutes the western extension
of the French vineyard “Loire Valley”. The Muscadet is renowned and often spontaneously linked to a white wine.
However it remains misconceived as an ordinary wine, lacking authenticity.

How the physical components of the terroir can differently intervene in French wines DPO definitions.Example of Côte de Nuits in Burgundy

European regulations describe what elements must be given in the specifications of DPO determination ; mainly production conditions, links between quality and products characteristics and the physical traits of the production area. These elements are given in the “link to terroir” paragraph relating natural and human factors, detailed product characteristics linked to the geographical area and at last interactions between product originality and the geographical area.

Vignobles sur les pentes en Bourgogne : l’aube d’un nouveau modèle de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge

La découverte d’une vigne gallo-romaine en plaine à Gevrey-Chambertin (Côte-d’Or) constitue un point important pour la compréhension de la construction des terroirs viticoles de Bourgogne. Sa situation en plaine constitue pour nous le point de départ d’une large réflexion sur la mise en place du modèle de viticulture de coteau qui prévaut en Bourgogne et sur les facteurs de ce changement de norme de qualité viticole. Les sources mobilisées pour cette approche interdisciplinaire et diachronique sont géomorphologiques, archéologiques et textuelles.

Everything else, it’s work ”Socio-cultural dimensions of terroir among Bordeaux winemakers

In 2010, the OIV adopted a resolution that defines ‘terroir’. The OIV definition understands terroir as the result of the interactions between the physical specificities of a space and human labor, with an emphasis on the subsequently produced collective knowledge (OIV-VITI 333-2010); by doing so, it alludes to the social and cultural dimensions of terroir.

Swiss program for the creation of fungal disease resistant grape varieties in Switzerland

Grapevine breeding is part of the research program of Agroscope in Switzerland since 1965. From 1965 to 1995, the aim of the Vitis vinifera crosses was to obtain a high resistance to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea), one of the most virulent fungal pathogens in the Swiss vineyard. In 2021, the grape varieties released from this first breeding program covered 936 ha of the 15’000 ha of the Swiss vineyard.
In 1996, a second breeding program aimed at obtaining, by classical interspecific hybridization, grape varieties resistant to downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and powdery mildew (Erisyphe necator) and less sensitive to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea). In order to accelerate and make the selection process more reliable, an early biochemical test was developed based on the natural defense mechanisms of the vine against downy mildew (stilbene phytoalexins). The synthesis of stilbenes (i.e., resveratrol and its oxidized dimers - and -viniférine) and pterostilbenes (methylated derivative) is among the most efficient induced defense mechanisms of grapevine against fungal pathogens on both the leaves and the clusters.
