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

Quality of Merlot wines produced from terraced vineyards and vineyards on alluvial plains in Vipava valley, Slovenia (pdo)

AIM: Different factors affect the style and quality of wine and one of the most important are environmental factors of vineyard location.

SO2 consumption in white wine oxidation: approaches to low input vinifications based on rapid electrochemical analyses and predictive enology

Oxidative stability is a critical factor in maintaining wine quality during its shelf-life. SO₂ is commonly added to wine due to its strong antioxidant activity, although there is a general push to reduce SO₂ use in vinification.

Deep learning based models for grapevine phenology

the phenological evolution is a crucial aspect of grapevine growth and development. Accurate detection of phenological stages can improve vineyard management, leading to better crop yield and quality traits. However, traditional methods of phenological tracking such as on-site observations are time-consuming and labour-intensive. This work proposes a scalable data-driven method to automatically detect key phenological stages of grapevines using satellite data. Our approach applies to vast areas because it solely relies on open and satellite data having global coverage without requiring any in-field data from weather stations or other sensors making the approach extensible to other areas.

Under-vine cover crops: impact on weed development, yield and grape composition

This study aims to evaluate the interest of using an under-vine cover crop as a sustainable management tool replacing herbicides or tillage to control weeds, evaluating its effects on yield and berry parameters in a semi-arid climate. 
The performance of Trifolium fragiferum as an under-vine cover crop was evaluated in 2018 and 2019 in a Merlot vineyard in

Measuring elemental sulfur in grape juice in relation to varietal thiol formation in Sauvignon blanc wines.

Aim: Sauvignon blanc displays a range of styles that can include prominent tropical and passionfruit aromas. Both sensory evaluation and chemical analysis have confirmed the above-average presence of ‘varietal thiols’ in the Sauvignon blanc wines from Marlborough, New Zealand.
