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.

Fertilization with Seaweed (Laminaria japonica) on the characteristics of the bunch and the quality of the grape must of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’

The objective of the present work was to study the influence of the foliar application of seaweed (Laminaria japonica), on the bunch and on the must in the ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ grape. The experiment was carried out in the years 2021/2022, in a 21-year-old commercial vineyard, in the municipality of “Dom Pedrito” – “Rio Grande do Sul” (RS). A completely randomized experimental design was used, with 4 treatments and 4 replications (7 plants per replication). The treatments were: T1- control treatment; T2- Exal Powder 5 g L-1; T3- Hidro Exal 15 ml L-1; T4- Exal Powder 5 g L-1+ Hidro Exal 15 ml L-1.

Effects of wine versus de-alcoholised wine on the microbiota-gut-brain axis in a tau-pathology murine model of Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common disorder associated with cognitive impairment and the main cause of dementia globally. Multiple evidence in the last decade suggest that the gut microbiome plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of AD via the microbiota-gut-brain axis, a network wherein microbiome and the central nervous system crosstalk via endocrine, immune, neural, and microbial metabolites signalling pathways.

Using the fraction of transpirable soil water to estimate grapevine leaf water potential: comparing the classical statistical regression approach to machine learning algorithms

Weather uncertainty is forcing Mediterranean winegrowers to adopt new irrigation strategies to cope with water scarcity while ensuring a sustainable yield and improved berry and wine quality standards. Therefore, more accurate and high-resolution monitoring of soil water content and vine water status is a major concern. Leaf water potential measured at pre-dawn (PD) is considered to be in equilibrium with soil water potential and is highly correlated with soil water content at the soil depth where roots extract water.

High-power ultrasound for improving chromatic characteristics in wines. Does a varietal effect exist?

The use of high-power ultrasound (US) during the winemaking process has been extensively studied at laboratory scale in order to demonstrate its possible use to improve the extraction of compounds of interest. However, studies on semi-industrial and industrial scale are needed to confirm this positive effect, since the International Organization of Vine and Wine approved its industrial use in 2019 [1].
