LC-HRMS data analysis of natural polymer homologue series Application on wine neutral oligosaccharides

Abstract

Although oligosaccharides have much impact both on health (prevention of diabetes, cardiovascular disease), and on the perception of wine (sweetness, astringency, acidity or bitterness), information on their composition in wine is still limited. In a previous work, neutral oligosaccharide fractions isolated from wine were analyzed. The results present a composition of different monosaccharide units (hexose, pentose, uronic acid and deoxyhexose) and show the presence of several structures of oligo-rhamnogalacturonan type I substituted through the rhamnose moieties by arabinan and/or galactan chains.
The aim of this work is to explore new approaches for processing LC-HRMS data to identify these compounds containing repeating units (homologous series) such as arabinans or galactans.  The presented approach allows visualization of these series in the form of a Kendrick mass defect (KMD) plot to facilitate their characterization.
The chromatographic profiles obtained by LC-HRMS analysis of these fractions showed a poorly resolved bump, and the mass spectra were very complex consisting of mono, di, and tricharged ions peaks over a mass range between 500 and 2500. They allowed however to visualize numerous series formed by separated monocharged peaks of 132 m/z, or dicharged peaks of 66 m/z, i.e. a pentose unit.
The construction of the KMD plot is done with a change of scale for which the mass taken into account of (C5H8O4) is 132.0000 (nominal mass) instead of 132.0423 Da (exact mass). All masses of the spectrum are thus recalculated and called Kendrick masses (KM). The mass defect (KMD) for each peak of the spectrum is the difference between its Kendrick mass and its nominal mass. All compounds of the form R-(C5H8O4)n, R being a common radical, will have the same mass defect. The graphical representation, thus makes it possible to visualize the set of compounds that differ only by their number of pentose units on the same line.
In our case, the accuracy of the measurement at masses above m/z 1000 does not allow this calculation. This limitation was resolved by processing the data with the Compound DiscovererTM software (ThermoScientific) to obtain a list of monocharged masses, for which several crude formulas were proposed. A sorting of these crude formulas was carried out considering the possible ratios between number of carbons, oxygens and hydrogens. The exact masses of the 2045 remaining formulas were then calculated and allowed to draw the Kendrick mass defect plot.
Finally, the Kendrick diagram approach allows visualization of the homologous series of arabinoses. Identification hypotheses were proposed for 555 compounds attributed to oligo-rhamnogalacturonan type I, and its arabinans/galactans side chains degradation products. This study demonstrated the relevance of this analytical approach for the determination of the structure of wine oligosaccharides.

Terroir and precision viticulture: are they compatible?

The concept of terroir or sense of place is almost as old as the wine industry. It is generally used as an all-encompassing term to reflect the effects of the biophysical environment in which grapes and their resultant wines are produced on the character of those wines. Historically, terroir has generally been considered at the regional or property scale.

Development of a new method to understand headspace aroma distribution and explore the pre-sensory level in perceptive interactions involved in red wine fruity aroma expression

A part, at least, of red wines fruity expression may be explained by perceptive interactions involving particularly various substituted ethyl esters and acetates present at concentration far below their olfactory threshold, specifically thanks to synergistic effects. Wine sensory perception is directly linked to the stimulation of the taster at the level of olfactory epithelium by volatiles. These compounds are liberated from the matrix to the atmosphere, and will then be smelt. From a physico-chemical point of view, these volatiles ability to be released may be evaluated by their partition coefficients, which correspond to the volatile concentration ratio between the liquid and gas phase. Our goal is, through these coefficients determination, to assess if volatile matrix composition is able to impact the volatility of some compounds, and then explain sensory perception, i.eto evaluate what is called the pre-sensorial level impact.

Identification, quantification and organoleptic impact of « dried fruit » molecular markers in Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and in red wines

The aromas found in young Bordeaux red wines made with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon suggest a complex mixture of aromas of fresh red fruits such as cherry or blackberry for Merlot, and strawberry or blackcurrant for Cabernet Sauvignon. The aromas of these wines are closely linked with the maturity of the grapes. The climate change that has occurred during the last decade in Bordeaux has induced changes in the ripening conditions of grape berries. It is now widely admitted that over-ripening of the berries during hot and dry summers results in the development of characteristic flavors reminiscent of cooked fruits (fig, prune). The presence of these overriding odors found in both musts and young wines affects the quality and subtlety of the wine flavor and may shorten its shelf life.

Phenotypical impact of a floral somatic mutation in the cultivar Listán Prieto

The accession Criolla Chica Nº2 (CCN2) is catalogued as a floral mutation of cultivar Criolla Chica (synonym for cv. Listán Prieto). Contrary to what is observed in hermaphrodite-cultivated varieties like Criolla Chica, CCN2 exhibits a prevalence of masculinized flowers. Aiming to study the incidence and phenotypical implications of this mutation, CCN2 plants were deeply studied using Criolla Chica ‘Ballista’ (CCBA) as control plants. For each CCN2 plant, two inflorescences per shoot were sampled and segmented into proximal, mid and distal positions, relative to the pedicel. Flowers were observed through magnifying lens and classified according to OIV151 descriptor.
