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.

CHARACTERIZATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF YEAST BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES RELEASED DURING FERMENTATION AND AUTOLYSIS IN MODEL WINE

Aging wine on lees is a consolidated practice during which some yeast components (e.g., polysaccharides,
proteins, peptides) are released and solubilized in wine thus, affecting its stability and quality.
Apart from the widely studied mannoproteins, the role of other yeast components in modulating wine
characteristics is still scarce. Wine peptides have been studied for their contribution to taste, antioxidant,
and antihypertensive potentials. However, the peptides detected in wine can be influenced by the
interaction between yeasts and grape components.

Old but gold: the interest for minor grapevine varieties – a case study in the Veneto region (Italy)

The biodiversity of cultivated vines has been significantly reduced due to a series of factors that have favoured the cultivation of a limited number of varieties and clones over time. In veneto, since 1980, a series of important actions have been implemented to counter this process. These actions have focused on the conservation of germplasm identified in the territory and the recovery of varieties historically present in the region, which were in danger of being abandoned and disappearing.

OPTIMIZATION, VALIDATION AND APPLICATION OF THE EPR SPIN-TRAPPING TECHNIQUE TO THE DETECTION OF FREE RADICALS IN CHARDONNAY WINES

The aging potential of Burgundy chardonnay wines is considered as quality indicator. However, some of them exhibit higher oxidative sensitivity and premature oxidative aging symptoms, which are potentially induced by no-enzymatic oxidation such as Fenton-type reaction (Danilewicz, 2003). This chemical mechanism involves the action of transition metal, native phenolic compounds and oxygen which promote the generation of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl radicals (OH) or 1-hydroxyethyl radicals (1-HER) from oxidation of ethanol. Such mechanism is involved in the radical oxidation occurring during bottle aging. According to Elias et al.,(2009a), the 1-HER is the most abundant radical in forced oxidation treated wines. Consequently, understanding its evolution kinetic in dry white wines is of great importance.

Impact of urbanization on optimum wine Terroirs in the Bordeaux region sample of one township of the Entre-Deux-Mers Area

L’étude présentée porte sur une commune de l’Entre-Deux-Mers dans le bordelais. Nous caractérisons dans un premier temps les potentialités des sols vis-à-vis de la production de vins rouges de qualité (délimitation de terroirs grâce à la prise en compte des couvertures pédologiques et des caractéristiques morphométriques du terrain : pentes, expositions, convexités. Dans un second temps, nous récapitulons l’évolution historique des occupations des sols depuis 1790 : l’emplacement des vignes est ainsi localisé sur les terroirs respectifs des communes. Enfin, une étude prospective résultant d’enquêtes sur l’utilisation du foncier, situe le devenir prévisible de l’espace étudié (en particulier dans ses composantes viticoles et urbaines).

Relative impact of crop size and leaf removal on aromatic compounds and phenolic acids of Istrian Malvasia wine

Although several studies investigated the impact of crop size or fruit zone microclimate on aromatic or phenolic composition of wines, the effects of these two practices were not assessed and compared in the same study through a technological experiment within the same vineyard. Therefore, their relative effectiveness is hard to compare, which in turn is essential for providing producers with valuable information as a basis to choose adequate approach in yield and canopy management. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of two crop sizes and two different fruit zone microclimate conditions obtained by leaf removal in a two-factorial experiment, in order to assess and compare their relative impact on Istrian Malvasia (Vitis vinifera L.) white wine aroma and phenolic composition.
