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.

The suitability for viticulture at varying altitudes: a study of grapevine ripening in the Italian Alps

Planting vineyards in cooler climates has been used over recent years as
a strategy to counter the climatic shifts caused by climate change. A move towards higher altitudes in hilly and mountainous wine regions may provide a solution to deleterious effects that increased ambient temperatures have on wine quality. Until now, the influences of higher altitudes and their climates, as well as their effect on vine growing cycles, still holds a lot of scientific uncertainty. The transnational EU-funded project REBECKA (Interreg V-A IT-AT: ITAT1002, duration: 2017-2019) has the objective to develop a regional valuation method to rate the suitability for viticulture in South Tyrol (Italy) and Carinthia (Austria). Preliminary surveys were performed regarding the effects of altitude on ripening performance of the cultivar Pinot Noir.

Monitoring of mannoprotein cessions during wine aging on lees: development of a simple enzymatic method

Mannoproteins are polysaccharides released by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast during alcoholic fermentation or by enzymatic action during aging on yeast lees (autolysis). These molecules play a major role in wine characteristics processing, namely, in the tartaric stabilization and protein haze prevention; moreover, they improve color stability and reduce astringency.

Predicting oxygen consumption rate by tannins through sweep linear voltammetry and machine learning models

Nowadays, it is well known that oxygen significantly impacts wine quality. The amount of oxygen wine consumes during the winemaking process depends on several factors, such as storage conditions, the number of rackings, the materials used for aging, and the type of closure chosen for bottling.

Influence of phenolic composition and antioxidant properties on the ageing potential of Syrah red wines measured by accelerated ageing tests.

Red wine ageing impacts its chemical and sensory characteristics such as colour, astringency and aromas evolution. Wine ageing involves many chemicals and physico-chemical reactions. Oxygen has an important role in these evolutions, especially during bottle ageing. It is known that wine composition and its antioxidant capacity are correlated to its ability to undergo with oxygen exposure [1]. A high oxygen exposure can affect wine quality by the formation of undesirable oxidative volatile compounds such as acetaldehyde [2]. Thus, ageing capacity is an important factor for wine quality and is related to extent of oxidation with ageing [3].
