Does Dekkera/Brettanomyces wine spoilage raise the risk of biogenic amines intake? A screening in Portuguese red wines

Abstract

Wine quality and safety are the main concerns of consumers and health agencies. Biogenic amines and polyamines, depending on their concentration and on individuals, in wine can constitute a potential public health concern due to their physiological and toxicological effects. Biogenic amines can be present in grapes, such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine [1] or formed by microorganisms during the winemaking process such as histamine, cadaverine, hexylamine, and ethylamine [2]. Histamine is one of the targeted toxins by the Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority. Dekkera/Brettanomyces, a wine spoilage yeast, can produce biogenic amines in grape juice [3]. Diamines can produce carcinogenic nitrosamines by reaction with nitrite. Biogenic amines are important causes of wine intolerance [4], producing intoxication symptoms.
The sensitivity to biogenic amines depends on insufficient amino oxidase activity, genetic predisposition, alcohol, acetaldehyde, gastrointestinal disease, or inhibition by other amines. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that, susceptible persons who are immune-compromised and seniors, may exhibit intolerance to even low levels of biogenic amines and suffer more severe symptoms, these persons are increasing in developed countries. Therefore, factors that influence biogenic amines concentrations are of utmost importance for consumer safety, mainly for susceptible persons. The main objective of this study was to quantify biogenic amines and polyamines in industrially produced red wines available in Portuguese wineries. As well as to understand the impact of the spoilage yeasts Dekkera/Brettanomyces in the biogenic amines and polyamines concentrations. Wine sampling was carried out using a maximum variance/heterogeneous purposive non-probability technique. Ethylphenols were determined by GC-MS and biogenic amines and polyamines were determined by dispersive solid-phase extraction and HPLC-DAD after derivatization with benzoyl chloride. To better understand the real input of Dekkera/Brettanomyces activity in these compounds, a set of 79 Portuguese red wines produced at an industrial scale from 2012 to 2016 vintage were analyzed. A total of nine amines have been detected that range from 19.6 to 331 mg/L and concentrations of 4-ethylphenol of 4.5–5604 μg/L and of 4-ethylguaiacol of 2.3–831.2 μg/L [5]. The most abundant amines on average were putrescine followed by histamine and cadaverine. Simultaneous determination of biogenic amines and volatile phenols in industrial produced red wines permitted to conclude that the wine spoilage activity of Dekkera/Brettanomyces with the production of volatile phenols do not significantly contribute to biogenic amines increase and consequently intake by the consumers. Biogenic amines need to be controlled in order to ensure high levels of wine safety and quality to reduce risk to more vulnerable wine consumers.

Gamma-ray spectrometry In Burgundy vineyard for high resolution soil mapping

Aim: A soil mapping methodology based on gamma-ray spectrometry and soil sampling has been applied for the first time in Burgundy. The purpose of this innovative high-resolution mapping is to delimit soil areas, to define elementary units of soil for terroir characterization and vineyard management. The added value of this integrated approach is a continuous geophysical mapping of the soil with an investigation depth of 60cm.

Influence of cork density upon cork stopper resiliency after opening a sparkling wine bottle

After Champagne popping, the first consumer’s observation is the shape of the cork stopper. Consumers expect a “mushroom shape”. Nevertheless, we sometimes observe a “barrel” shape due to inappropriate cork’s elastic properties. The aim of this study was to follow the loss of cork stopper resiliency during 26 months according to the density (d) of the cork in contact with the wine. 1680 disks were weighed + measured and divided in 6 density classes: High (H1 d= 0,19 g/cm3 – H2 d= 0,21 g/cm3), Medium (M, not studied) and Low (L1 d= 0,13 g/cm3 – L2 d= 0,14 g/cm3). Then, 138 technical cork stoppers were produced for each of the 4 studied groups. These corks consisted of an agglomerated natural cork granule body to which two natural cork disks were glued. A total of 552 bottles of sparkling wine were closed with these corks and open after 13, 19 and 26 months to follow cork resiliencies. Wine bottles were stored horizontally; thus, the external natural cork disks were in contact to the wine. During the 26 months of the study, highly significant differences (ANOVA) were observed between the resiliencies of H-corks and those of L-corks, whatever the time studied. The diameters of the L-corks were statistically higher than those of the H-corks. No significant differences were observed between L1 and L2 corks. At the opposite, differences were noted between H1 and H2 at 19 and 26 months. This could be explained by the heterogeneity of the resiliency that was higher for H-corks than for L-corks. Finally, the corks were visually (12 judges) divided in 3 classes corresponding to high (expected mushroom shape, i.e high resiliency), medium (irregular shape of the disk in contact with the wine and/or low premature deterioration of the expected resiliency) and low qualities (barrel shape = premature deterioration of the resiliency). The corks were also divided in 3 categories corresponding to 0-33%, 34-66% and 67-100% resiliency. A strong correlation was noted between the visual and the instrumental categorizations. This study strongly evidenced 1) the importance of the cork density on the cork stopper behaviour when opening the bottle and 2) the interest of an instrumental approach reflecting the consumer’s perception.

Caractérisation du terroir en Espagne : méthodologie de l’évaluation et de la validation

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in characterizing the ecological environment of vineyard production, and the growing need to delimit and characterize with precision the different homogeneous viticultural units. This has allowed the development of new studies which have as their objective the Vineyard Zoning. The delimitation and characterization of wine-growing areas poses specific problems in Spain, not only linked to the specific characteristics of the territory, but also to the size, distribution and index of viticultural occupation in the designations of origin.
