Effect of mannoproteins extracted from Torulaspora delbrueckii on wine flavanol composition and on flavanol-salivary protein interactions

Abstract

Global climate change is exerting an influence on vine phenology, leading to a decoupling of technological and phenolic maturity of grapes. This results in the modification of berry chemical composition, which can translate into wines with excessive astringency. The addition of mannoproteins (MP) to wine has been proposed as a way of mitigating this problem, since some studies have shown that MPs can modulate wine astringency. However, the mechanism underlying the astringency modulation effect of MPs is not well known and it seems to be dependent on the compositional and structural characteristics of the MP.

MPs are highly glycosylated proteins located in the outermost layer of the yeast cell wall. They are naturally released to the wine by actively growing yeast during alcoholic fermentation and by yeast autolysis during aging on lees. The commercial MP preparations, often used in an empirical way, are obtained from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the main oenological yeast, to improve wine technological and sensory properties.

In wine, non-Saccharomyces yeasts, such as Torulaspora genre, predominate over S. cerevisiae during the initial phases of spontaneous alcoholic fermentations. However, little is known about the MPs of non-Saccharomyces yeasts and, unlike S. cerevisiae, they have never been considered as a possible source of MPs of oenological interest.

Thus, the objective of this work was to isolate and characterize MPs from the cell wall of Torulaspora delbrueckii and evaluate their effect on red wine astringency. The MPs were obtained from a commercial strain of T. delbrueckii (Lallemand, Inc.) by means of different treatments: induced autolysis and enzymatic and chemical hydrolysis. The MP extracts were characterized as follows. The protein content was determined by Lowry method and the (glycol)protein profile was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of the MPs was determined by HRSEC-RID and its monosaccharide composition was analyzed after MP hydrolysis and derivatization followed by HPLC-DAD-MS analysis. To evaluate the possible effect of the obtained MPs on astringency, they were added to a red wine and changes in flavanol composition were assessed by HPLC-DAD-MS. In addition, the molecular basis of the MPs effect was also evaluated by studying the interactions between MPs, flavanols and salivary proteins by ITC.

The results showed differences in the structure and composition of the MPs extracted by the application of different treatments. Likewise, the study of the wine flavanol profile and of the MP-flavanol-salivary protein interactions suggested that T. delbrueckii can be a good source of mannoproteins with technological properties to modulate the wine flavanolic composition and the organoleptic properties related to these compounds.

Influence of cell-cell contact on yeast interactions and exo-metabolome

Alcoholic fermentation is the main step for winemaking, mainly performed by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. But other wine yeasts called non-Saccharomyces may contribute to alcoholic fermentation and modulate the wine aroma complexity. The recurrent problem with the use of these non-Saccharomyces yeasts is their trend to die off prematurely during alcoholic fermentation, leading to a lack of their interesting aromatic properties searched in the desired wine. This phenomenon appears to be mainly due to interactions with S. cerevisiae. These interactions are often negatives but remain unclear because of the species and strain specific response. Among the non-Saccharomyces yeasts, Lachancea thermotolerans is a wine yeast naturally found in grape must and well known as a great L-lactic acid producer and an aromatic molecules enhancer, but its behavior during alcoholic fermentation can be completely different in co-fermentation with S. cerevisiae in function of strain used.

Effect of rootstock and preplant fumigation on plant parasitic nematode development in Washington wine grapes

In Washington State, the majority of winegrape (Vitis vinifera) vineyards are planted to their own roots. This practice is possible due to the lack of established phylloxera populations, and is preferred due to the ease of retraining after damaging winter cold events. However, own-rooted V. vinifera is generally susceptible to most plant parasitic nematodes that attack grape. In Washington State, management of nematodes is dominated by preplant soil fumigation. One practice that may mitigate economic loss due to nematodes is the adoption of nematode-“resistant” rootstocks.

New acylated flavonols identified in the grape skin of Vitis vinifera cv. Tannat and their wines

Flavonols are a class of flavonoid compounds derived from plant secondary metabolism. There they play different roles like antioxidants, internal regulators and UV screenings. In red wines, flavonols have increasingly received consideration by part of scientific and winemakers according their properties began to arise known. Among these stand out wine colour stabilization and their value as bioactive compounds. In this work the complete series of the acetylated and p-coumaroylated derivatives of the 3-O-glycosides of methoxylated flavonols, namely isorhamnetin, laricitrin and syringetin, have been identified in grapes and their respective wines from Vitis vinifera cv. Tannat.

Study of cross-modal interactions through sensory and chemical characteristics of italian red wines

This work aimed at investigating red wine olfactory–oral cross-modal interactions, and at testing their impact on the correlations between sensory and chemical variables. Seventy-four Italian red whole wines (WWs) from 10 varieties, and corresponding deodorized wines (DWs), were evaluated by sensory descriptive assessment.
