Benefits and risks of the utilization of grape pomace as organic fertilizers

Abstract

Rhineland-Palatinate is Germany’s largest wine growing region. The recently launched collaborative project in the frame of the ‘Carl-Zeiss-Stiftungs-Kooperationsfonds für Nachhaltigkeitsforschung’ focusses on the risk-benefit assessment of the use of grape pomace (GP) from the region ‘Pfalz’ in Rhineland-Palatinate as a natural fertilizer.GP contains high loads of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and macro- as well as micronutrients which make GP an attractive, low-cost fertilizer [1,2]. On the other hand, GP may also contain residues of pesticides and mycotoxins. Their presence is undesirable in wine as well as in a potential fertilizer [3,4]. The application of high amounts of the above mentioned substances at once could negatively affect plant quality and microbial soil communities [5]. Therfore, the agricultural value of GP as a fertilizer could be limited by the transfer of these compounds into the soil. Up to date, little is known about the influence of GP constituents on the soil quality and processes, especially in a long-term exposure.In this project, we aim to determine the contents of polyphenols, mycotoxins, and pesticides in addition to the macro- and micronutrient content of GP from six different grape varieties. Furthermore, the effect on important soil parameters, such as nutrient availability, hydrodynaics, and microbiology will be analysed and evaluated.

Identification and quantification of c-glucosidic ellagitannins and their derivative in red wine aged in oak barrels

The C-glycosidic ellagitannins constitute a subclass of hydrolyzable tannins of remarkable structural diversity. In this work we first achieved the hemisynthesis of flavano-ellagitannins, then we used them to develop a new efficient detection and quantification procedure for the C-glycosidic ellagitannins as well as flavano-ellagitannins.

Effect of nanofiltration on the chemical composition and wine quality

In Enology the conventional processes of filtration for clarification and stabilization are giving place to alternative membrane processes, including nanofiltration (NF). Furthermore, the increased alcohol content in wines recorded in recent years became an important issue for all the main wine producing countries. Among techniques available to the wine industry to reduce the ethanol content, NF is certainly one of the newest. This study is focused on the evaluation of NF influence on wine physical-chemical composition, including mineral content, which in accordance to our best knowledge is a novelty.

Multivariate strategies for red wines classification using stilbenes and flavonols content

Bioactive polyphenols from grapes and wines, like stilbenes and flavonols (SaF), are often determined to nutritional evaluation, but also for many other purposes. The objective of this study was to quantify SaF in red wines from “Campanha Gaúcha”, a large and young viticultural region from South Brazil. Moreover, through statistical analysis, evaluate the influence of these compounds according to varieties, production process, harvest years and micro-regions of cultivation. A total of 58 samples of red wines were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) for determination of trans-resveratrol (R), quercetin (Q), myricetin (M), kaempferol (K), trans-e-viniferin (V) and their precursor, cinnamic acid (C).
