Enzymes Impact During Fermentation On Volatile And Sensory Profile Of White Wines

Abstract

Favoring the formation of volatile compounds and their precursors in must and wine represent one of the principal goals during winemaking technology. In recent years, most attention has been placed on using glycosidases to enlarge the aroma profile of white wines. The effect of enzymes makes odorless glycosidically-bound precursors be converted into aromatic compounds. This paper focuses to study the influence of enzymes (pectolytic and β-glycosides) administered before alcoholic fermentation, even if most studies analyze their use in different winemaking stages. Two semi-aromatic varieties such as Fetească regală and Sauvignon blanc were chosen.
Identification and separation of volatile compounds were performed using an Agilent 7890A gas chromatography system coupled with a mass spectrometer detector 5975 C inert XL EI/CI MSD. The sensory profile of the wines was evaluated by a panel of 20 licensed tasters, consisting of 12 men and 8 women. Data processing and statistical representation (Principal Components Analysis, Anova, Fisher’s Least Significant Difference, Pearson correlation coefficient) was performed using Statgraphics® software 19.  
Following the analyses performed by gas chromatography, there were identified over 65 volatile compounds, depending on the grape variety. Fetească regală wines were described by higher proportions of ethyl octanoate (peach, pear, exotic fruits notes), 3-methylbutyl acetate (with fruity, pear, banana aroma), hexanoic acid (lactate, phenolic and exotic fruits odors), propan-2-yl acetate ethereal, ripe fruits, banana odor) and ethyl decanoate (floral, fruity, woody notes), while Sauvignon blanc wines were distinguished by considerable proportions of 2-methylpropan-1-ol (with spirits and solvent odor), 3-methylbutan-1-ol (banana, solvent notes), diethyl butanoate (fruity, floral, waxy, dusty odors), 1-phenylethanol (floral and honey flavors), and acetic acid (vegetal, rancid, sour perceptions). Numerous positive correlation were identified in both varieties, including propan-1-ol vs 3-methylbutan-1-ol, 3-methylbutyl acetate vs ethyl hexanoate and butan-1-ol vs octandecanoic acid in Fetească regală wines and diethyl butanoate vs 3-methylbutan-1-ol, ethyloctanoate vs propan-2-yl acetate, ethyl octanoate vs ethyl 4-hydroxybutanoate in Sauvignon blanc. Data confirmed a significant influence.

Evaluation of a biological foliar fertilization system, in the production, agronomic and quality characteristics of three wine grape varieties

Evaluation of the fertility management practices in wine grape varieties production. Wine grape represents one of the most important productions in Greece with major impact to the socioeconomic characteristics of the country. The objective of this study is to evaluate, with the support of Geospatial Technologies, the potential effects of an innovative foliar fertilizer system, which is composed of three parts: a mineral fertilizer in a micronized formulation, a biostimulant as an enhancing factor of the process and, an amino acid compound (SANOVITA concept). The study was established at a collaborative, private vineyard, in the area of Trilofos-Thessaloniki, at the region of Northern Greece.

Influence of protein stabilization with aspergillopepsin I on wine aroma composition

The protein haze formation in white and rosé wines during storage, shipping and commercialization has always been an important issue for winemakers. Among the various solutions industrially proposed, the use of bentonite is certainly the most widespread. However, the harmful effects of this treatment are known either in terms of wine volume loss and wine flavour and aroma.

Behavior of disease resistant grapevine varieties to downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) infections in the Castelli Romani area (Central Italy)

At CREA – Centro di Ricerca di Viticoltura ed Enologia, based in Velletri (RM), an experimental vineyard including 10 downy mildew resistent/tolerant grape varieties and two susceptible varieties was set up with the principal goal to evaluate the behavoir of these varieties in term of resistance to downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola). This evaluation, together to oenological studies, are necessary to register them also in Regional Register (in Lazio region). Monitoring of behavior towards Plasmopara viticulture of resistant vines were done in 2020 and 2021 at different times (phenological stages) and until harvesting, according to an international standard code BBCH a centesimal phenological scale, based on coding system.

Monitoring vineyard canopy structure by aerial and ground-based RGB and multispectral imagery analysis

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used to monitor canopy structure and vineyard performance. Compared with traditional remote sensing platforms (e.g. aircraft and satellite), UAVs offer a higher operational flexibility and can acquire ultra-high resolution images in formats such as true color red, green and blue (RGB) and multispectral. Using photogrammetry, 3D vineyard models and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) maps can be created from UAV images and used to study the structure and health of grapevine canopies. However, there is a lack of comparison between UAV-based images and ground-based measurements, such as leaf area index (LAI) and canopy porosity.
