Influence of protein stabilization with aspergillopepsin I on wine aroma composition

Abstract

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. The use of aspergillopepsin I -an acid endoprotease from Aspergillus spp- in must and wine has been recently approved by OIV and the European Commission for protein stability, coupled to a heat treatment. Beyond the established efficacy of this approach on wine stability, little is known about its influence on the wine aroma profile. The present study aims to evaluate the combined effect of heat treatment with proteases (HP) in musts on the concentration of 74 wine aroma compounds at lab and semi-industrial scale.  Eight grape musts were treated with acid proteases and heated at 70°C for the lab-scale trials, and the concentrations of wine volatile compounds at the end of the alcoholic fermentation were compared with those deriving form a traditional white and rosé winemaking protocol. The must treatment induced a significant increase (one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD p

The role of climate/soil of different zones/terroirs on grape characteristics

According to the different concern of the ‘traditional’ and the ‘new’ wine-producing Countries, a variable importance is recognized to the climate/soil and to grapevine cultivars as factors affecting the wine quality. However, the viticultural experience can state that, within each area, climate and soil plays an incontestable role in affecting grape quality, and consequently wine quality, as well as the genetic characteristics of the cultivar.

Isotope composition of wine as indicator of terroir spatial variability

The goal of this work was to determine the spatial variability of terroir using the isotope composition of wine. Carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) stable isotope composition was measured in wines from Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyard, located in Rioja Appellation (Spain). Stable isotope composition, leaf area, vigour, yield components, grape and wine composition were determined in a grid of 85 geo-referenced points, that was drawn across the 5 ha vineyard area

Relevance of an immunoassay test for rapid detection of Botrytis cinerea in ‘Ugni blanc’ musts and wines

A new immunoassay kit, called Botrytis Lateral Flow Device has been tested to detect Botrytis cinerea on musts and wines. The comparison of the immunoassay result with the quantitative analysis of usual markers (gluconic acid, sugars and polyols) showed the relevance of this innovative tool.

Effect of elicitors and ripening moment on the phenolic composition of Monastrell

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a globally cultivated crop and economically significant, particularly in the wine industry (Varela et al., 2024). Climate change is already affecting vineyards and is expected to worsen (Averbeck et al., 2019; Dupuis and Knoepfel, 2011).

Changing the scale of characterization of a wine area: from a single protected designation of origin to a vineyard Loire Valley observatory (viLVO)

Terroir is increasingly important today in wine markets. In a large wine production area such as the Loire Valley, the whole territories/terroirs can be distinguished according to different combinations of geological, soil, climatic and landscape features but are also characterized by their differences and likenesses in terms of combinations of terroir units and practices.
