A new chemiluminescence method related to molecules derived from Botrytis cinerea for characterization of Aszu wines from Tokaj, from Hungary

Abstract

For the chemical characterization of Aszu wines from Tokaj region our aim is to develop a biochemical method which is related to Botrytis cinerea. As in these wines there are continuously present small amounts of Cytochrome C enzyme derived from apoptotic cells infected with Botrytis (1), and H2O2 produced during the oxidation of alcohols by Botrytis (2), and their oxidative interaction can produce reactive “ferril-peroxide complexes  inducing chemiluminescence (photon emission) (3), the  principle of method is as follows: the capability of various Aszu wines is measured by luminometer how they can stimulate the production of chemiluminescence of basal biochemical reaction (Cytochrome C + H2O2) compared to a standard solution of „artificial furmint”. The size of stimulation is expressed numerically by „Index of Stimulation” (I.S.). Based on a great number of measurements evaluated by statistical methods we created three categories for the quality of Aszu wines from the aspect of Botrytis effects valid for given laboratory condition. „Tokaj Aszu of poor quality”: I. S. < 2,79„Tokaj Aszu of outstanding quality”: I.S. = 2,80-3,54„Tokaj Aszu of excellent quality”: S.I. > 3,55 These categories correlate well with other factors of Aszu quality (aroma, flavour, smell) but do not cover them totally.  The I.S. values of Aszu wines show a significantly positive correlation with the concentrations of gluconic acid (p

Dans ce contexte, l’origine apparaît comme un outil de force, d’expansion et de succès sur les marchés.

Geospatial trends of bioclimatic indexes in the topographically complex region of Barolo DOCG

Barolo DOCG is an economically important wine producing region in Northwest Italy. It is a small region of approximately 70 km2 gross area. The topography is very complex with steep sloped hills ranging in elevation from below 200 m to 550 m. Barolo DOCG wine is made exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape. Bioclimatic indexes are often used in viticulture to gain a better understanding of broader climate trends which can be compared temporally and geographically. These indexes are also used for identifying potential phenological timing, growing region suitability, and potential risks associated with expected climatic changes. Understanding how topography influences bioclimatic indexes can help with understanding of mesoscale climate behaviour leading to improved decision making and risk management strategies. The average monthly maximum and minimum temperatures, the Cool Night Index, the Huglin Index, and the monthly diurnal range (from July to October) were calculated using data from 45 weather stations within a 40 km radius of the Barolo DOCG growing area between the years 1996 and 2019. Linear and multiple regression models were developed using independent variables (elevation, aspect, slope) extracted from a digital elevation model to identify significant relationships. Bioclimatic indexes were then kriged with external drift using independent variables that showed significant relationships with the bioclimatic index using a 100 m resolution grid. The maximum monthly temperatures and the Huglin Index showed consistent significant negative relationships with elevation in all years. The minimum monthly temperatures showed no relationship with elevation but in some months a small but significant relationship was observed with aspect. Due to the lack of a relationship between minimum monthly temperatures and elevation compared to the significant relationship between maximum monthly temperatures and elevation, monthly diurnal range had a negative relationship with elevation.
