Influence of successive oxygen saturations of a grape juice, supplemented or not with laccase, on its color and hydroxycinnamic acids concentration

Abstract

Aim: This work studies how successive O2 saturations affects the color and hydroxycinnamic
acids concentration in the absence and presence of laccase from B. cinerea with the aim of better understanding the browning processes.

Materials and methods: Grapes of Muscat of Alexandria were harvested and pressed with a vertical press to extract 60% of their juice. Aliquots of 30 mL of this must were placed in 60 mL flasks equipped with a pill (PreSens Precision Sensing GmbH) for measuring oxygen by luminescence (Nomasense TM O2 Trace Oxygen Analyzer). These flasks were added or not with SO2 (50 mg/L) and with 2 UA/mL of laccase from B. cinerea (Giménez et al., 2022). All operations were carried out with a continuous nitrogen stream to protect the grape juice from air oxygen. The grape juices were then saturated in O2. The flasks were kept at 20±2 °C and O2 was monitored (Diéval et al., 2011). Once O2 was completely consumed, this operation was repeated twice to reach a total of three O2 saturations. Absorbances at 420, 320 and 280 nm were determined in all the samples. Hydroxycinnamic acids and GRP were analyzed by RP-HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS (Lago-Vanzela et al., 2013).

Results and discussion: Samples without SO2 and laccase consumed O2 after the 2st saturation in around 1 hour with an initial O2 consumption rate (OCR) of 0.262±0.009 mg of O2/minute. Surprisingly, no significant differences were found in the OCR of the samples supplemented with laccase in the 1st saturation (0.266±0.075). However, the OCR decreased significantly for the 2nd and 3rd saturations in the case of the samples without laccase (0.128±0.003 and 0.101±0.011 respectively) whereas no significant decrease was observed when laccase was present (0.268±0.013 and 0.238±0.049 respectively). The supplementation with SO2 almost completely inhibited OCR in both cases, without and with laccase (0.006±0.002 and 0.011±0.003 respectively). The A420 nm (yellow color) increased after each saturation and this augmentation was significant higher in the samples supplemented with laccase. In contrast, the A320 nm (hydroxycinnamic acids) and A280 nm (total phenolic compounds) do the opposite. Finally, caftaric and cutaric acids and in a minor extent fertaric acid concentrations decreased after each saturation and this decrease was very similar in the samples supplemented or not with laccase. In contrast, the samples supplemented with SO2 hardly showed changes in the different absorbances or in the hydroxycinnamic acids.

Conclusions:

These results confirm that SO2 is very effective to prevent browning even in the presence of laccase. This data also indicate that the presence of laccase provokes higher browning even consuming the same O2 than without its presence, probably because can use more substrates than natural grape tyrosinase

The impacts of frozen material-other-than-grapes (MOG) on aroma compounds of red wine varieties

An undesirable note called “floral taint” has been observed in red wines by winemakers in the Niagara region caused by large volumes of frozen leaves and petioles [materials-other-than-grapes (MOG)] introduced during mechanical harvest and subsequent winemaking late in the season. The volatiles, which we hypothesized are responsible, are primarily terpenes, norisoprenoids, and specific esters in frozen leaves and petioles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the volatile compounds which may cause the floral taint problem and explore how much of them (thresholds) may lead to the problem. Also, the glycosidic precursors of some of these compounds were analyzed to see the changes happening during frost events.

Aromatic profile of six different clones of Chardonnay grape berries in Minas Gerais (Brazil)

Aromas are one of the key points in food analysis since they are related to character, quality and consequently consumer acceptance. It is not different in the winery industry, where the aromatic profile is a combination of viticultural and oenological practices. Based on the development of more aromatic clones and on the potential to produce sparkling wines at Caldas, in the southern region of Minas Gerais (Brazil) (21°55´S and 46°23´W, altitude 1,100m), the aim of this work was the determination of volatile compounds in six different clones of Chardonnay grape berries to better understand which compounds add bouquet to the wine, and additionally comprehend the impacts of the edaphoclimatic and annual conditions on the improvement of grape-growing and winemaking practices.

Improving stilbenes in vitis Labrusca L. Grapes through methyl jasmonate applications

Grapes (Vitis sp.) are considered a major source of phenolic compounds such as flavonols, anthocyanins and stilbenes. Studies related to the beneficial effects of these compounds on health have encouraged research aimed at increasing their concentration in fruits. On this behalf, several plant growth regulators such as jasmonic acid and its volatile ester, methyl-jasmonate (MeJa), have demonstrated promising results in many fruits. However, Brazilian subtropical climate might interfere on treatment response. The present study aims to evaluate the application of MeJa in the pre-harvest period in Concord and Isabel Precoce grapes (Vitis labrusca L.).

Service crop effects on grapevine water and nitrogen status and yield under Mediterranean climate

Service crops in vineyard can provide multiple ecosystem services but they can also lead to competition with the grapevine for soil resources in the Mediterranean region due to potential severe droughts (Garcia et al., 2018). One of the levers of action to manage this competition is the choice of species adapted in terms of growth dynamics and water and nutrients’ needs. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of temporary service crops on grapevine water and nitrogen status and grapevine yield and yield components in a Mediterranean vineyard.

Impact of deficit irrigation strategies on terpene concentration in Gewürztraminer grapes

Deficit irrigation is a viticultural practice often applied to improve the phenolic composition of red grapes and wines. However, the impact of this practice on grape terpenes – key aromatics for several grapes and wines – remains largely unknown. This study investigated the impact of deficit irrigation strategies on free and glycosylated terpenes in Gewürztraminer grapes. In a field study conducted in Oliver, BC, in 2016, 2017, and 2018, deficit irrigation regimes were applied to Gewürztraminer vines at different developmental stages (pre-veraison = Early Deficit, ED; post-veraison = Late Deficit, LD; throughout the season = Prolonged Deficit, PD). A well-irrigated control (CN) treatment was also established.
