Determination of selected phenolics, carotenoids and norisoprenoids in Riesling grapes after treatment against sunburn damage

Abstract

Riesling represents the most widely cultivated grape variety in Germany and is therefore of particular economic interest. During recent years an increase in the petrol-note as well as in undesirable bitter and adstringent notes has been reported. These changes are most likely linked to increasing temperature and sunlight exposure of grapes due to climate changes.
The “petrol note” is caused by the formation of the C13-norisoprenoid 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalin (TDN), which originates from acid-labile precursors formed by the carotenoid degradation in the grape. The negative orosensory changes are thougt to be related to phenolic components in wine since some polyphenols have already been described as astringent and/or bitter. The grape responds to increased sunlight exposure by storing polyphenols, especially flavonoids, in the berry skin. The question whether viticultural treatments such as applications of particle-film forming products like kaolin and calcium carbonate preparations to reflect sun light and to mitigate sunburn damage on grapes and thus minimize organoleptic defects as well as off-flavors in resulting wines has not yet been sufficiently answered. 
In this study, we investigated the influence of defoliation at different degree in conjunction with the application of particle suspension to protect against sunburn damage in respect to selected carotenoids, C13-norisoprenoids and polyphenols in grapes. For comparability and possible correlation of results, qualitative and quantitative determination of C13-norisoprenoid and polyphenols was performed from the same sample extract. The carotenoid profile was analyzed by UHPLC-DAD and HPLC-APCI-MSn. Quantification was performed by UHPLC-DAD as lutein equivalents using an internal standard (β-apo-8-‘carotenal). Quantification of C13-norisoprenoids was conducted via SIVA with deuterated standards by HS-SPME-GC-MS/MS. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of polyphenols was done by HPLC-ESI-MSn and UHPLC-DAD by means of external calibration with representative substances for respective substance classes. The applied treatments showed effects on the qualitative and quantitative profiles of the analyzed constituents in grapes. While increased sunlight exposure induced the degradation of carotenoids, the mean content of C13-norisoprenoids and polyphenols increased.

Wine tourism in southern Italy: a surge in popularity and economic impact

Wine tourism has transformed from a leisure activity into a crucial part of the tourist experience, significantly contributing to rural tourism’s expansion in italy. It has witnessed a notable surge in popularity in recent years, evolving as a key motivator for travel (antonioli corigliano, 2002; brunori & rossi, 2000; città del vino & censis servizi, 2011; garibaldi, 2018; 2019a; 2020; montanari, 2009; romano & natilli, 2009). The allure of wine tourism, driven by sensory experiences and cultural immersion, continues to attract a diverse group of tourists. The economic impact is substantial, with events and festivals contributing approximately €2.5 billion annually.

Mitigating the effects of climate change on berry composition by canopy management

Primary and secondary metabolites are major components of grape composition and their balances define wine typicality

Optimizing the use of bentonite for better control of haze formation In white and rosé wines

In winemaking, the appearance of turbidity in white and wine is a serious visual defect, which lowers significantly its commercial value. A major cause of the formation of turbidity in wine is attributed to the presence of temperature-sensitive proteins.

Key genes in rotundone biosynthesis are affected by temperature, light, water supply, and nitrogen uptake

Rotundone accumulation and biosynthesis is a complicated process. Previous research highlighted that these phenomenons were affected under ecophysiological conditions by viticultural practices (e.g. defoliation or irrigation). Individually, these practices often impact several abiotic factors that are difficult to separate such as temperature, water or nitrogen status, or radiation. Such dissociation can be achieved under controlled environmental conditions using potted vines.
