Polyphenolic profile and dietary fiber content of skins and seeds from unfermented and fermented grape pomace

Abstract

The valorization of winemaking byproducts is subordinated to the knowledge of their chemical characteristics. This work concerned the determination of the polyphenolic profile and the dietary fiber content of skins and seeds from unfermented and fermented pomace of different cultivars (Moscato bianco, Cortese, Arneis, Pinot Noir, Barbera, Grignolino, Nebbiolo), sampled from some wineries in the Piedmont area (Italy) during the 2020 harvest.
The pomace was dried under controlled conditions (pre-drying for 48 h at room temperature in a ventilated and dehumidified room, followed by drying at 40 °C for 48 hours, up to constant weight). Before drying, the unfermented pomace was washed with water (3 successive washes) to remove residual sugars. Once dried, the skins were separated from the seeds; the 2 fractions were then separately milled to obtain skins and seeds flours.
The determination of the polyphenolic composition of the flours was carried out on the extracts obtained with a double extraction: first with methanol/water 50:50 %v/v and then with acetone/water 70:30 %v/v. The content of total polyphenols (GAE), total flavonoids and condensed tannins was determined in the extracted liquid solution (EPP, extractable polyphenols), while the fraction of non-extractable condensed tannins was determined in the residue after extraction (NEPP, non-extractable polyphenols), with the method proposed by Saura Calixto et al., 1991 (modified). The percentage content of dietary fiber (DF) of the flours was also determined with the official method AOAC 985-29. Limited to the skins samples, the analysis was extended to the distinction between soluble and insoluble dietary fiber (SDF and IDF).
Significant differences in the EPP content were observed between skins (GAE values ranging between 21.5 and 35.6 mg/g of flour, dry weight) and seeds (GAE values between 28.7 and 94.3 mg/g d.w.). The skins had lower GAE values, (from 30.0 % to 75.6 %) than the respective seeds. The seeds with the highest polyphenolic content were, in decreasing order, unfermented Pinot Noir, Moscato bianco, fermented Pinot Noir and Cortese. The tannins concentration was overall higher for unfermented seeds, with important differences between cultivars.
Conversely, the NEPP content was higher in the skins, 2.6 to 4.4 times higher than seeds. The content in polyphenols linked to the dietary fiber was more homogeneous among the different seed samples (3.41 to 4.93 mg/g d.w. compared to the skins (between 11.6 to 18.4 mg/g d.w).
Finally, significant differences between skins and seeds were found in the total DF content. The seeds had total DF contents (52.0 -65.6 % d.w.) 1.1 to 1.3 times higher than the skins. The winemaking practices have influenced the quantity and characteristics of the DF in the skins (SDF and IDF fractions): the total and insoluble DF content was higher in the flours from unfermented pomace than in the fermented ones.

Flor yeast diversity and dynamics in biologically aged wines

Wine biological aging is characterized by the development of yeast strains that form a biofilm on the wine surface after alcoholic fermentation. These yeasts, known as flor yeasts, form a velum that protects the wine from oxidation during aging. Thirty-nine velums aged from 1 to 6 years were sampled from “Vin jaune” from two different cellars. We show for the first time that these velums possess various aspects in term of color and surface aspects. Surprisingly, the heterogeneous velums are mostly composed of one species, S. cerevisiae. Scanning electron microscope observations of these velums revealed unprecedented biofilm structures and various yeast morphologies formed by the sole S. cerevisiae species.

Bioprotective non-Saccharomyces yeast as an alternative to sulfites for the winemaking process

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is used in winemaking due of its antioxidant, antioxydasic and antiseptic properties. Excessive amount of SO2 can negatively impact wine sensory perception and be detrimental for health. Agri-food industries are more transparent towards consumers concerning addition of sulfites, and oenology is no exception in this clairvoyance. As a consequence, the increase of consumers preference for wine with low or absent of sulfites addition is notorious. In this context, the impact of low/zero sulfites winemaking process on the microbial community should be evaluated. Moreover, microbial agents corresponding to bioprotective cultures represent a growing interest as an alternative to sulfites preservation in the early stages of vinification. However, scientific studies conducted to demonstrate their real effect are almost rare.

Towards a better understanding of the root system diversity and plasticityin young grafted vines using 2D imaging and 3D modelling tools

Three-dimensional functional-structural root architecture models, which decompose the root system architecture (RSA) into elementary developmental processes such as root emission, axial growth, branching patterns and tropism have become useful tools for (i) reconstructing in silico the spatial and temporal dynamics of root systems in a soil volume, (ii) analyzing their genotypic diversity and plasticity to the environment, and (iii) overcoming the bottleneck associated with their visualization and measurement in situ. Here, we present an original work on RSA phenotyping and modelling in grapevine. First, we developed 2D image-based analysis pipelines to quantify morphological and architectural traits in young grafts. Second, we parametrized and validated the 3D root model Archisimple on two rootstock genotypes (RGM, 1103P) grafted with V. vinifera Cabernet-Sauvignon and grown in different controlled conditions (rhizotrons, pots, tubes).

From the “climats de Bourgogne” to the terroir in bottles

From a chemical composition point of view, wine is the result of complex interplays between environmental, genetic and human factors. The notion of terroir in viticulture involves the vine and its environment, including phenology, geography, geology, pedology and local climate of a vineyard, along with human inputs.
