Flavor Enhancement Of Neutral White Wines By Mango Peel Products

Abstract

Varietal flavor is commonly known as the aromatic character of a wine in which the aroma of a particular grape variety predominates. However, not all varieties present particularly pronounced aromas. Therefore, different methods are constantly sought to enhance the aroma of wines with neutral aromatic characteristics, such as the use of glycosidases (1), certain yeast strains (2) or maceration with different agricultural products. In this work, aiming to improve the sensory profile together with the diversification of this product, white wines, derived from a neutral grape variety, were elaborated with the addition of mango peel by-products. This by-product was chosen because of its greatly esteemed tropical scents (3). Three different samples were performed regarding the mango peels application: 7 days co-fermentation (MCF), 7 days maceration post-fermentation (MPF) and no mango peel added, considered as control (C). A comprehensive analysis of the volatile profile, both qualitative and quantitative, was carried out by SPE extraction followed by GC-MS. Wines were also tasted by a panel of experts in order to evaluate the sensory attributes. Conventional analsysis including color parameters were also executed. Preliminary results have shown that MCF and PCF, exhibited an overall terpene compounds increase in which significant amounts of characteristic mango volatile compounds such as 3-carene or p-cymene were found, which evoque floral-resinous aromatic scents. On the other hand, less appreciated compounds such as 1-octen-3-ol (musty odour) were also found in larger quantities in both samples treated with mango peels.  The sensory analysis outcomes showed that, while some unattractive volatiles compounds were identified in the samples treated with mango peels, those were not found in any case during the tasting evaluation. In addition, judges detected exclusive attributes in MCF and PCF samples, defined as compote and apricot notes. Furthermore, these exclusive desirable attributes remained much longer in the mouth in the sample of wines that had undergone post-fermentation maceration (PCF).In conclusion, together with the rest of data analysed, a 7-day post-fermentation maceration with dried mango skins is proposed as a natural cheap and simple aromatisation method for white wines.

Soil Temperature and Climate Change: Implications for Mediterranean Vineyards 

More frequent and extreme temperatures and droughts pose challenges to the wine sector in Mediterranean Europe. Soil is crucial to sustain the equilibrium of ecosystems, economic growth and people’s prosperity worldwide. In viticulture, soils are a major component of the terroir and do influence vine’s growth, yield and berry composition. Soil temperature (ST) affects soil´s physical, chemical and biological processes and also crop growth. The impact of ST becomes even stronger when dealing with row crops such as grapevine, when considering the increased exposition to radiation. However, the impact of ST on crop performance remains poorly described, especially for extreme climatic conditions.

Nitrogen isotope ratio (δ15N) as a tool to trace the major nitrogen source in vineyards

Aim: to elucidate if it is possible to detect variations in the source of nitrogen (organic vs. inorganic) measuring nitrogen isotope ratio (δ15N) in berries and to examine the degree of variation occurring for this parameter naturally within a vineyard.

The limonene-derived mint aroma compounds in red wines. Recent advances on analytical, chemical aspects and sensory aspects

In recent years, the ageing bouquet of red Bordeaux wines has been partially unveiled by a chemical and sensory point of view1–3. Minty and fresh notes were found to play a key role in the definition of this complex concept, moreover the freshness dimension in fine aged red wines plays an important role in typicity judgement by wine professionals

Valorisation agroviticole de l’effet terroir par l’enherbement des sols

The studies developed by INRA and UV, in Angers, concern wine-growing areas and their optimized management, both from an agro-viticultural and oenological point of view. Previous work (Morlat, 1989) made it possible to give a scientific dimension to the concept of viticultural terroir and demonstrated the considerable influence of this production factor on the quality and typicity of wines (Asselin et al, 1992 ) . A methodology for the integrated characterization of terroirs, based on the “Basic Terroir Natural Unit” (considered as the smallest spatial unit of territory usable in practice, and in which the response of the vine is homogeneous), has been development (Riou et al , 1995).

Activation of retrotransposition in grapevine

Retrotransposons, particularly of the Ty-Copia and Ty-Gypsy superfamilies, represent the most abundant and widespread transposons in many plant genomes. Grapevine is no exception and it is clear that these mobile elements have played a major role in the evolution of Vitaceae genomes. While speculation abounds around the possible role of transposons in plant genomes, outside of the rather obvious involvement of retrotransposition in fueling genome expansion, there is little clarity of the actual role these elements have in both developing new genetic variation and in modulating epigenetic responses within genomes to changing climate. To this end we have been exploring de-novo assembled Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir genomes with a view to catalogue retrotransposon loci to determine the structural intactness and thus age of insertion variation across a small number of clonal linages of these 2 varietals in an attempt to identify ‘live’ TE loci.
