Study of the interactions between wine anthocyanins and proline rich proteins

Abstract

The interaction between tannins and salivary proteins is considered to be the basis of the phenomenon of wine astringency. Recently, some authors have revealed that some anthocyanins can also contribute to this mouthfeel sensation by interacting with proline rich proteins (PRPs). However, more studies are needed in order to elucidate the affinity of anthocyanins with these proteins.

Thus, the general objective of this work was determine the interaction between malvidin-3-O-glucoside, malvidin-3-O-(6-O-acetyl)-glucoside, and malvidin-3-O-(6-O-p-coumaroyl)-glucoside (isolated from grape skin) with a PRP model peptide (IB7-14) and their capacity of precipitate PRPs in a wine model solution. To archived this objectif, several techniques were used: i) mass spectrometry (FIA-ESI-QTOF) and 1H proton NMR to determine the formation of complexes and the stoichiometry of anthocyanins-IB7-14 complexe ii) saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy in order to calculate the dissociation constants (KD) and the affinity of each anthocyanin with the peptide and, iii) HPLC-DAD that was used to evaluate the capacity of anthocyanins to precipitate PRPs (isolated from human saliva).

Our results demonstrate that anthocyanins are able to interact with IB7-14, with different stoichiometries and binding strengths. A stoichiometry of 3:1 for the malvidin-3-O-glucoside-peptide, 1:1 for the acetylated form, and 4:1 for the coumaroylated form were observed. These ratios was also confirmed by 1H proton NMR. According to the obtained dissociation constants, the affinity of malvidin-3-O-glucoside (17.5 mM) was much higher than for malvidin-3-O-(6-O-acetyl)-glucoside (order of hundred mM). Unfortunately, the calculation of KD for malvidin-3-O-(6-O-p-coumaroyl)-glucoside was impossible due to precipitate formation. To finish, when malvidin-3-O-(6-O-p-coumaroyl)-glucoside was mixed with human salivary PRPs we observed that the precipitation of PRPs was much higher (14%) than for malvidin-3-O-glucoside (7%). In the same way, malvidin-3-O-(6-O-acetyl)-glucoside did not lead a significant decrease of their quantities when it was in contact with PRPs, suggesting the absence of interactions. It could be hypothesized that the additional presence of an aromatic group of coumaroylated form of malvidin could provide stronger hydrophobic bonds than malvidin-3-O-glucoside. Likewise, the chemical structural differences between malvidin-3-O-glucoside and malvidin-3-O-(6-O-acetyl)-glucoside can cause a potential loss of hydrogen bonding preventing thus the stabilization between the anthocyanin and the peptide. These findings proved for the first time that wine anthocyanins interact differently with the peptide IB7-14 and that can potentially affect the astringency sensation.

Swiss program for the creation of fungal disease resistant grape varieties in Switzerland

Grapevine breeding is part of the research program of Agroscope in Switzerland since 1965. From 1965 to 1995, the aim of the Vitis vinifera crosses was to obtain a high resistance to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea), one of the most virulent fungal pathogens in the Swiss vineyard. In 2021, the grape varieties released from this first breeding program covered 936 ha of the 15’000 ha of the Swiss vineyard. In 1996, a second breeding program aimed at obtaining, by classical interspecific hybridization, grape varieties resistant to downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and powdery mildew (Erisyphe necator) and less sensitive to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea). In order to accelerate and make the selection process more reliable, an early biochemical test was developed based on the natural defense mechanisms of the vine against downy mildew (stilbene phytoalexins). The synthesis of stilbenes (i.e., resveratrol and its oxidized dimers - and -viniférine) and pterostilbenes (methylated derivative) is among the most efficient induced defense mechanisms of grapevine against fungal pathogens on both the leaves and the clusters.

Heatwaves impacts on grapevine physiology, berry chemistry & wine quality

Climate change impacts on both yields and quality have increased over the past decades, with the effects of extreme climate events having the most dramatic and obvious impacts. Increasing length and intensity of heatwaves associated with increased water stress necessitates a reevaluation of climate change responses of grapevine and, ultimately, a reconsideration of vineyard management practices under future conditions. Here we summarize results from a three-year field trial manipulating irrigation prior to and during heatwave events to assess impacts of water application rates on vine health and physiology, berry chemistry, and wine quality. We also highlight potential mitigation strategies for extreme heat, both in terms of water application, as well as other cultural practices that could be widely applicable.

Could intermittent shading, as produced in agrivoltaics, mitigate global warming effects on grapevine?

Global warning increases evaporative demand and accelerates grapevine phenology. As a consequence, the ripening phase shifts to warmer and drier periods. This results in lower acidity and higher sugar levels in berries, yielding too alcoholic wines with altered organoleptic properties. Agrivoltaics, which combines crop and renewable energy production on the same land using photovoltaic panels, emerged as a promising innovation to counteract these impacts by partially shading the plants.

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry: a promising technology for the high throughput phenotyping of grape berry volatilome

Wine grapes breeding has been concentrating a lot of efforts within the grape research community over the last decade. The quick phenotyping of genotype quality traits including aroma composition remains challenging. Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS), a technology first available in 2008 and developing rapidly, could be particularly valuable for this usage. The aims of this study were i) to use SIFT-MS, to analyze the whole volatilome from different grape varieties, ii) to assess the ability of this technology to discriminate varieties according to their grape aroma composition, and iii) to study the stability of SIFT-MS signal over maturation to define a sampling strategy.

VITIGEOSS Business Service: Task scheduling optimization in vineyards

Agriculture plantations are complex systems whose performance critically depends on the execution of several types of tasks with precise timing and efficiency to respond to different external factors. This is particularly true for orchards like vineyards, which need to be strictly monitored and regulated, as they are sensitive to diverse types of pests, and climate conditions. In these environments, managing and optimally scheduling the available work force and resources is not trivial and is usually done by teams of senior managers based on their experience. In this regard, having a baseline schedule could help them in the decision process and improve their results, in terms of time and resources spent.
