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.

Are Farm to fork strategy goals reasonable and achievable? State of the art of Península de Setubal’s winegrowers

The European Union’s “farm to fork” strategy sets out several objectives to be achieved by farmers, who, among others, relate to increasing biodiversity, protecting soils and reducing the use of pesticides. At a time when the amendments to the national plans of Sustainable Use of pesticides are being discussed, it is important to understand what the Setúbal Peninsula region status is.

Impact of toasting and botanical origin on oak wood (Q. sp.) volatilome using untargeted GCxGC-ToFMS analysis

Many works have been carried out to identify the key aroma volatile compounds of oak wood (e.g., whisky-lactone, furfural, maltol, eugenol, guaiacol, vanillin) using conventional gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry and mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). Inspired by recent untargeted approaches in the field of food “omics”, this work aims to extend our knowledge on the impact of cooperage process on the volatile composition of oak wood using two-dimensional comprehensive gas chromatography coupled with time of flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-ToFMS).

Chemical and microbiological evaluation of Ribeiro wines (NW Spain)

Wine produced under Designation of Origin (DOP) Ribeiro, the oldest DOP in Galicia (NW Spain), are elaborated using local grape cultivars, grown at the valleys of Miño, Avia and Arnoia rivers. The landscape formed by slopes and terraces and the peculiar climate of continental character, softened by the proximity of Atlantic Ocean, make it an area of excellent aptitude for vine cultivation. In addition, small-scale farming and the use of traditional techniques for vineyard management provide a great diversity to Ribeiro wines. This study presents the evaluation of red and white wines (bottled or bulk wines) from DOP Ribeiro, produced between years 2018-2022.

Analyse du rôle du terroir dans la définition d’une appellation d’origine

In France, the definition of appellations of origins is entrusted to the Institut National des Appellations d’Origine. (‘NAO). With the increase in price of appellations of origin vine­yards and considering the interests at stake, Institut National des Appellations d’Origine and the Institut National de Recherche Agronomique (INRA) established a work group in 1993 in order to study the “terroir-wine” relationship as precisely as possible, taking into account the knowledge acquired by researchers of the INRA and the experience in the field of the agents of the INAO.
