Addition of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica must and marcs to Golden Ale beer wort to obtain different Italian Grape Ales

Abstract

Nowadays, the recovery of secondary resources of wine industry is insufficient and the developing of new products and adjuvants from secondary raw materials could become a relevant sector of research. The re-use of byproducts derived from winemaking could improve the sustainability of wine industry and give additional value to other food industries. In the last decades the number of craft breweries have significantly grown all over the world and food market saturation with new food products seemed to be at an all-time high, including alcoholic beverages. For this reason, many breweries started to produce non-conventional beers, also using different raw materials such as ancient grains, spices, and fruits, trying to put on the market something that previously did not exist. Italian Grape Ale (IGA) beers are produced starting from pils or pale malt and should not exhibit a roasty, stout like, profile. Grape or grape must can be pasteurized before the addition and used at different stages of brewing boil, primary/secondary fermentation, or aging. The addition can range from 5% to 40 % of the wort composition. A proper option for brewers could be the addition of an aromatic grape variety to beer wort. Malvasia di Candia aromatica (MaCA) is a grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivar (cv.) that produces aromatic white grapes and is mainly cultivated in the Emilia Romagna province of Piacenza. Another possibility to make new products in beer industry is related to grape marcs addition in different stages of the brewing process with a high added value from a chemical and nutritional point of view. This work studied the possible addition of MaCA grape must and marcs to Golden Ale beer wort in different percentages: 10 and 20%. Fermentations were carried out in triplicate with a control made of 100% beer wort. General parameters, organic acids (LC-DAD), aroma compounds (GC-MS), target polyphenols (LC-MS/MS) and sensory evaluation were carried out to evaluate changes after MaCA juice and marcs addition. Increasing in acidity values were measured in final products after MaCA juice addition compared to controls (1.98, 2.31, and 2.41 g/L of tartaric acid equivalent in beer controls, MaCA 10%, and MaCA 20%, respectively) and after MaCA marcs addition (1.98, 3.15, and 3.40 g/L of tartaric acid equivalent in beer controls, MaCA 10%, and MaCA 20%, respectively). Other results confirmed that beers with 20% MaCA juice addition and 10% MaCA marcs addition resulted more complex in aroma profile with the presence of free monoterpenic compounds, expecially β-citronellol, linalool, linalool oxides, nerol and α-terpineol. Sensory evaluation confirmed differences in aroma intensity and acidity perception between different beers. Panelists preferred the addition of 20 % of MaCA juice as the best option. Collaboration with a craft brewery will carried out to produce beers with addition of 20 % of MaCA juice and 10% of MaCA marcs in a 12-hL scale.

Investigating perceptual interactions of fruity aromas in Bordeaux red wines through addition and reconstitution sensory studies

Fruity aromas, characterized by red and black fruit descriptors, are central to the identity of Bordeaux red wines [1,2]. Despite extensive research focused on identifying and quantifying volatile compounds that contribute to fruity aromas in wine, the mechanisms underlying their interactions and sensory perception remain poorly understood [3].

Use of pectinolytic yeast in wine fermentations

The use of pectinolytic enzymes in winemaking is state of the art. These enzymes catalyse the degradation of pectic substances through depolymerization (hydrolases and lyases) and de-esterification. As a result, it supports the extraction of juice and facilitates filtration. It has also been shown in winemaking that the presence of pectinolytic enzymes improves the stability, taste, texture, colour and aroma of products. With regard to enzymes currently applied in winemaking, enzymes derived from filamentous fungi dominate the enzyme industry. Fungal-based pectinolytic enzymes specifically require purification from the culture medium to eliminate unwanted side reactions, which is poorly sustainable. Some non-traditional yeast strains have been reported to exhibit pectinolytic activities. Therefore, the direct use of pectinolytic yeast during wine fermentation process can be an attractive and alternative source for the use of enzymes as input.

Modulation of berry composition by different vineyard management practices

High concentration of sugars in grapes and alcohol in wines is one of the consequences of climate change on viticulture production in several wine-growing regions. In order to investigate the possibilities of adaptation of vineyard management practices aimed to reduce the accumulation of sugar during the maturation phase without reducing the accumulation of anthocyanins in grapes, a study with severe shoot trimming, shoot thinning, cluster thinning and date of harvest was conducted on Merlot variety in Istria region (Croatia), under the Mediterranean climate. Four factors which may affect grape maturation and its composition at harvest were investigated in a two-years experiment; severe shoot trimming applied at veraison when >80% of berries changed colour (in comparison to untreated control), shoot thinning (0 and 30%), cluster thinning (0 and 30%), and the date of harvest (early and standard harvest dates). Shoot thinning had no significant impact on berry composition, despite the obtained reduction in yield per vine. Lower Brix in grapes were obtained with earlier harvest date and if no cluster thinning was applied, although at the same time a reduction in the concentration of anthocyanins in berries was observed in these treatments. On the other hand, if severe shoot trimming was applied when >80% of berries changed colour, a reduction of Brix was obtained without a negative impact on berry anthocyanins concentration. We conclude that in cases when undesirably high sugar concentrations at harvest are expected, severe shoot trimming at 80% veraison may effectively be used in order to obtain moderate sugar concentration in berries together with the adequate phenolic composition.
