Peptides diversity and oxidative sensitivity: case of specific optimized inactivated yeasts

Abstract

Estimation of the resistance of a wine against oxidation is of great importance for the wine. To that purpose, most of the commonly used chemical assays that are dedicated to estimate the antioxidant (or antiradical) capacity of a wine consist in measuring the capacity of the wine to reduce an oxidative compound or a stable radical. In the must/wine matrix, polyphenols are major compounds likely to react with oxidant or radical, but such reaction generate quinones that then are involved in varietal aroma loss via nucleophilic addition reaction. It raises the paradox that a good antioxidant capacity does not imply a good protection of such sensitive compounds as aromatic compounds which are wine key quality markers.

The authors have developed a methodology focusing on the survival time of a sensitive compound to estimate the oxidative sensitivity of a solution. A labeled nucleophile is monitored by UHPLC-ESI-Q-ToF MS periodically for hours (from 0.5h to 72h) after a chemical initiation of oxidation in wine model solution containing 4-methylcatechol. 7 Cystein containing peptides (alone or in combination) are used to artificially increase the nucleophilic environment (and thus the competition for quinone nucleophilic addition) and estimate the half-life of the labeled nucleophile. In addition, soluble fraction released by different inactivated yeasts are also used as complex source of nucleophiles.

Half-life of the labeled compound is the final expression of several complex mechanisms such as nucleophilic competition, but also oxygen consumption, or catechol reduction.
Independently of the mechanisms, we can observe that increasing the nucleophilic environment improve the half life of the labeled nucleophile. It is notably visible for the specific optimized inactivated yeast which released many cysteine-containing peptides.
Finally, this method relies on the fate of one sensitive nucleophile to estimate the sensitiveness of the whole matrix to oxidation. It estimates the half-life of this compound which allows to compare oxidative sensitivity of different matrices under specific oxidation conditions.

Assessing macro-elements contents in vine leaves and grape berries of Vitis vinifera using near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics

The cultivated vine (Vitis vinifera) is the main species cultivated in the world to make wine. In 2017, the world wine market represents 29 billion euros in exports, and France contributes 8.2 billion (28%) to this trade, making it a traditional market of strategic importance. Viticulture is therefore a key sector of the French agricultural economy. It is in this context that the nutritional diagnosis of the vine is of real strategic interest to winegrowers. Indeed, the fertilization of the vine is a tool for the winegrower that allows him to influence and regulate the quality of the wine.

La zonazione della valle d’Illasi (Verona)

In the bottom of Val d’Illasi (Verona province), one of the major valleys which passes through the Lessini mountains, viticulture is widely extended. In the territory belonging to Illasi and Tregnago villages, which includes ca. 1100 ha of vineyards, devoted to produce Soave and Valpolicella DOC wines, an experimental survey was conducted on a network of twenty five reference vineyards.

Characterization of commercial enological tannins and its effect on human saliva diffusion

Commercial oenological tannins (TECs) are widely used in the wine industry. TECs are rich in condensed tannins, hydrolyzable tannins or a mixture of both. Wine grapes are a important source of proanthocyanidins or condensed tannins while oak wood possess a high concentration of hydrolyzable tannins (Obreque-Slier et al., 2009). TECs contribute with the antioxidant capacity of wine, catalyze oxide-reduction reactions and participate in the removal of sulfur compounds and metals.

LARGE SURVEY OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF WINES RESULTING OF THE PRESSING OF RED WINE MARC. FIRST RESULTS

In the Bordeaux vineyards, press red wine represents about 15% of the volume of wines. Valuing this large volume of press wine is necessary from an economic point of view, of course, but also because of their organoleptic contribution to the blend. Nevertheless, there is a lack of recent knowledge on the composition of press wines. This work aims to establish an initial assessment of their composition (aromatic and polyphenolic) and to set up hypothesis on to the links with their sensorial identity.

Preliminary studies on polyphenol assessment by Fourier transform-near infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) in grape berries

NIR spectroscopy has widely been tested in viticulture as powerful alternative to traditional analytical methods in the field of quality evaluation. NIR instruments have been used for assessing must and wine quality features in several works, but little information regarding their application on whole berries for polyphenol determination is available.
