Recovery and purification of proteins from grape seed byproducts using proteomic and separative techniques

Abstract

Grape seeds account for around 5% of the weight of the whole grape berry, representing approximately 40%-50% of the solid by-products that the different wine industries generate during the winemaking process. Among all the grape seed components, proteins account for 10-13%. The use of these proteins could be of interest in technological applications for the food industry and others.
According to their solubility in different solvents, vegetable seed proteins have been classified into albumins (soluble in water), globulins (soluble in salt), prolamins (soluble in aqueous alcohol) and glutelins (soluble in acid or alkaline solution), respectively.
So far, most of the polypeptide components identified by electrophoretic analysis and mass spectroscopy in grape seed endosperm showed high homology with 11S globulin-like seed storage proteins from other plant species.
The ability of proteins to modulate food properties is highly dependent on their structural features. In this respect, there are still no studies that reveal the three-dimensional structure of these proteins in grape seed using x-ray or nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. However, there are studies using computational techniques for a 7S-type globulin from grape seed.  Therefore, the identification and subsequent elucidation of the morphology of proteins is crucial to define their potential uses and technological applications.
The aim of this work was to identify the different types of grape seed endosperm proteins from the by-product of the wine industry. For this purpose, the industrial by-product was subjected to different extractions to fractionate and purify the proteins into albumins, globulins and prolamins. In addition, quantification of the different fractions was carried out to clarify which type of protein is the majority. To carry out this work, a proteomic study based on SDS-page electrophoresis and mass spectroscopy was developed. These studies will provide new knowledge that will help to develop possible applications of seed proteins in the food industry.

Conversion to mechanical management in vineyards maintains fruit

Current environmental, ecological and economic issues require a better vineyard production management. In fact, a poor use of fertilizing could lead to harmful impact on environment. Another issue concerns the cultures themselves which couldn’t use fertilizers efficiently, leading to a loss of income or too much expense for farmers. Presently, estimation of fertilization’s needs is realized by the laboratory analysis of leaves selected through a random sampling. The present study aims at optimizing fertilization’s management by using a map of biophysical parameters estimated from satellite images.

The grapesim model: a model to better understand the complex interactions between carbon and nitrogen cycles in grapevines

Nitrogen fertilization is an important practice to guarantee vineyards sustainability and performance over years, while ensuring berry quality. However, achieving a precise nitrogen fertilization to meet specific objectives of production is difficult. There is a lack of knowledge on the impact of nitrogen fertilizers (soil/foliar; organic/mineral) and different levels of fertilization on the interactions between carbon and nitrogen cycles within the vine. Crop models may be useful in that purpose because they can provide new insights of the effects of fertilization in carbon and nitrogen storage. The objective of this study is to build a model to simulate grapevine carbon and nitrogen content in vines to evaluate the impact of different fertilization strategies in vine growth and yield.

Nutrients and heavy metals in a vineyard soil under organic, biodynamic and conventional management

Promoting sustainable agricultural practices is one of the challenges of the last decades. Organic and biodynamic viticulture can be an alternative to intensive viticulture, furthermore contributing to reduction of impact on environment and human health and guaranteeing soil preservation and quality products1. The aim of this experimentation was to evaluate the medium and long-term effects of different agronomic practices in viticulture on nutrient availability and heavy metal accumulation in soil.

Design of an indicator of vine vigor potential conferred by soil (vipos), using a fuzzy expert system

Winegrowers must adapt more and more their viticultural practices in order to evolve toward a sustainable viticulture, to be competitive and to improve both the production methods and the quality and typicalness of wines. In this context, ‘Terroir’ studies in Loire Valley vineyards have allowed to build decision aid maps that can be used directly by growers to adjust their practices.
