Chemical and sensory influences of the UV-C light of 254 nm in combination with the antioxidant substances in wine

Abstract

The UV-C light enhances oxidative processes in wine. Increasing the dose of UV-C can lead to olfactoric, gustatoric and colour changes in wine. These changes are triggered by a series of photochemical reactions such as degradation of esters, the formation of odour-active substances such as 2 aminoacetophenone through the photooxidation of amino acids. Ultimately, these reactions can lead to a reduced wine quality. The presence of antioxidants like sulphur dioxide and hydrolysable tannins can stop the promoted oxidation process. The experiments were examined on four Chardonnays. Depending on the variant sulphur dioxide and hydrolysable tannins were added separately and in combination to the wine. Wines were treated with two doses of 1 kJ/L and 2 kJ/L and compared against the control wine. The results show that the simultaneous presence of both antioxidants can efficiently reduce the negative effects of UV-C treatment. With an UV-C dose of 2 kJ/L no significant changes on the basis of chemical and sensory tests were detected. Furthermore, it was found that the lower UV-C light dose promoted the formation of odour-active esters and alcohols. Additionally, the results showed that the increasing concentration of free sulphur dioxide can lead to increased formation of odour-active substance with the odour attribute burning.

A sundial vineyard: impact of row density and orientation on cv. Cabernet-Sauvignon physiology and grape composition, insights to face a climate change scenario

An experimental vineyard with a radial array was planted in 2018, to provide valuable information on the relationship between orientation and planting density on plant physiology and cluster microclimate, and the consequent impacts on grape secondary metabolites, including aromas and polyphenols.

Radiation-associated effects on regulated deficit irrigation management in grapevine cv. Cabernet Sauvignon

The main challenge of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) research is to isolate the factors that come with RDI, the direct effect of plant water status from the indirect ones like increased radiation and temperature changes on the cluster zone. This study aims to isolate the effects of vine water status from the effects of increased radiation on the phenolic composition of grapes subjected to RDI.
A three-year study on an RDI experiment where radiation was controlled was implemented in a commercial vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile. Four RDI treatments based on partial evapotranspiration (ET) irrigation were established. Irrigation treatments were 100% ET, 70% ET, 50-100% ET (50% ET before veraison and 100% ET afterward), and 35-100% ET (35% ET before veraison and 100% ET afterward).

Shading nets for the adaptation to climate change: effect on vine physiology and grape quality 

Viticulture is threatened by the environmental modification caused by climate change. Higher temperatures determine an acceleration of the ripening process, which can be detrimental to wine quality. In the mediterranean area, heat waves are also increasingly frequent, with consequent blocking of the vegetative activity of the vines and increased susceptibility to sunburn damage. thus, adaptation strategies are necessary to reduce stress and improve the quality of grape production. Amongst the various techniques available, shading nets represent an interesting alternative for their effects on canopy microclimate (i.e., reduction of photosynthetic activity, improvement of water use efficiency, and slowing down in the ripening process).

Effects of different crop load and pruning aplications on vi̇ne growing, grape yi̇eld and quality parameters of early sweet (Vitis vinifera L.) grape variety

It is important to examine the yield quality elements of table grape varieties. There are great differences in winter and summer pruning of the early sweet grape variety. For this reason, in the study, the effects of different crop loads and pruning processes on grape yield, quality characteristics and vine development in the early sweet (vitis vinifera L.) Grape variety were investigated.
