Screening of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosine related metabolites in commercial wines by an UHPLC/MS validated method.

Abstract

Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a bioactive phenolic compound with antioxidant activity. Yeast synthetise tyrosol from tyrosine by the Ehrlich pathway which is subsequently hydroxylated to HT. The aim of the present work is to develop and validate an UHPLC–HRMS method to assess the metabolites involved in this pathway as well as to screen Spanish commercial wines for HT bioactive compound.

A total of 100 samples of commercial wines were analysed including 57 red wines and 43 white. The analysis was carried out in a Waters Acquity UHPLC (Milford, Massachusetts, USA) coupled to a Waters Xevo TQ (Milford, Massachusetts, USA) triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The MassLynx MS software was used. The column used was an Acquity UPLC BEH C18. The chromatographic conditions consisted of two mobile phases, water with 0.2% acetic acid (A) and acetonitrile (B), with a gradient elution programmed.

This analytical method was validated following AOAC instructions (AOAC 2012). Linearity, LOD, LOQ, intermediate accuracy, repeatability and matrix effects were the parameters assessed.  Calibration standards were prepared for each analytical batch and three replicates were determined at different concentrations for each compound with 7 degrees of linearity.

Linearity values were calculated through the correlation coefficient (R2) of the curves obtained for each compound. The detection limits were calculated based on the standard deviation of the response and the slope (Ich, 2005).

The intermediate precision was calculated measuring standard deviation (RSD) in a set of three concentrations (LOQ, 10x LOQ and 100x LOQ ng mL−1) for 5 days with 6 replicates per concentration. Repeatability was assessed in a single day-long work session, with six replicates of each concentration.

The matrix effect was tested in a wine synthetic matrix by spiking with the same standard
solution as described above. The slopes resulting from the spiked matrix and calibration solutions (acetonitrile 10% v/v) in the linear range were used to evaluate the matrix effect.

In order to elucidate the effect that filtration caused on the compounds, most usual filters such as nylon (NY), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and cellulose acetate (CA) were tested. In the case of hydroxytyrosol the LOD was 0.052 ng mL−1 and LOQ 0.157 ng mL-1. For tyrosol, LOD 13,020 and LOQ 39,455 ng mL -1. Tyrosine, LOD 1,567 and LOQ 4,748 ng mL−1 and hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, LOD 6,795 and LOQ 20,591 ng mL-1. All the values had an R2 between 0.9991 and 0.9999, showing quite good linearity. As we know, this is the first study available in which all the compound of the formation route for hydroxytyrosol has been identified and quantified. This could be accomplished thanks to a validated HRM method developed specifically to diminish LOD and LOQ. Furthermore, we ascertained the differences in the content of hydroxytyrosol in a great range of Spanish wines.

Monitoring of Pesticide Residues from Vine to Wine

Those previous years, pesticides are often brought to the forefront by media. Questions arose about their toxicity for growers and consumers. Even if a downward trend is underway, the use of pesticides is required to ensure steady quality and quantity of harvests. A large number of active ingredients are authorized but regarding viticulture, mainly insecticides and fungicides are applied, to control pests and diseases and to increase crop yield. Some phytosanitary products, principally fungicides, applied close to the harvest date may frequently be detected in wines.

Chitosan from mushroom by-products: sustainable extraction process and winemaking application

Chitosan is a biopolymer industrially obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide on earth, after cellulose. It is extracted from various terrestrial and marine resources, including insects, grasshoppers, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, squids, and fungi. chitosan has a polycationic character due to the free amine groups along its chemical backbone, and depending on its deacetylation degree (DD) and molecular weight (MW), it shows variable properties that differ from those of other natural polysaccharides.

Effect of polysaccharide extracts from grape pomace on the oxidative evolution of hydroxycinnamic acids

Phenolic acids are especially sensitive to oxidation, so they can greatly impact wine sensory characteristics and stability [1]. Furthermore, extracts derived from grape pomace have been previously postulated as possible oenological adjuvants for wine protection [2].

La zonazione in due zone viticole dell’emilia Romagna

Entre 1988 et 1995, dans la région Emilia-Romagna, deux zonages viticoles ont été complétés en zones assez differentes, soit géographiquement, soit par les conditions pedo-climatiques, soit par l’encépagement.

Effect of pH and ethanol on Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in red must fermentation: potential use of wine lees

Wine is the result of the alcoholic fermentation (AF) of grape must. Besides AF, wine can also undergo the malolactic fermentation (MLF) driven out by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Among LAB, Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum are the dominant species in wine. Even if O. oeni is the most common LAB undergoing MLF in wine, due to its high tolerance to wine conditions, L. plantarum can be used to undergo MLF in must. The moderate tolerance of L. plantarum to low pH and ethanol, may compromise the fermentative process in harsh wines.
