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.

Sensory profile of wines obtained from disease-resistant varieties in La Rioja

The European wine industry is facing multiple challenges derived from climate change and the pressure of different fungal diseases that are compromising the production of traditional varieties. A sustainable alternative maybe the adoption of resistant varieties.
In this study, we have evaluated the enological potential of 9 resistant varieties (5 white and 4 red varieties) in La Rioja. Microvinifications were carried out with three biological replications. Oenological parameters were very diverse with acid content varying from 2.6 g/L to 6.6 g/L.

Crown procyanidin: a new procyanidin sub-family with unusual cyclic skeleton in wine

Condensed tannins (also called proanthocyanidins) are a widely distributed throughout in plants kingdom and are one of the most important classes of secondary metabolites, in addition, they are part of the human diet. In wine, they are extracted during the winemaking process from grape skins and seeds. These compounds play an important role in red wine organoleptic characteristics such as color, bitterness and astringency. Condensed tannins in red wine are oligomers and polymers of flavan-3-ols unit such as catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin and epicatechin-3-O-gallate. The monomeric units can be linked among them with direct interflavanoid linkage or mediated by aldehydes.

S. CEREVISIAE AND O. ŒNI BIOFILMS FOR CONTINUOUS ALCOHOLIC AND MALOLACTIC FERMENTATIONS IN WINEMAKING

Biofilms are sessile microbial communities whose lifestyle confers specific properties. They can be defined as a structured community of bacterial cells enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix and adherent to a surface and considered as a method of immobilisation. Immobilised microorganisms offer many advantages for industrial processes in the production of alcoholic beverages and specially increasing cell densities for a better management of fermentation rates.
