Effect of the presence of anthocyanins on the interaction between wine phenolic compounds and high molecular weight salivary proteins

Abstract

As a result of climate change consequences, there is a gap between the times at which the grapes reach the phenolic and the technology maturities. As a consequence, the wine sensory properties are affected and, among them, astringency, one of the most important organoleptic attributes for red wine quality. A balanced astringency is essential for quality wines, since when this sensation is perceived with high intensity, it is considered as unpleasant by consumers. The main mechanism described for the astringency development is the interaction of wine phenolic compounds, such as flavanols and flavonols, with salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs), forming protein-flavanol complexes that can precipitate, resulting in a loss of lubrication in the oral cavity.Although PRPs are the main proteins studied to explain astringency, there are other types of proteins in saliva, such as mucins that are high molecular weight glycoproteins representing the main proteins in the salivary proteome. It has been reported that mucins can interact with wine flavanols, which could compromise the lubricating functions of mucins, so these proteins may play an important role in astringency sensation.1 Thus, it is important to go deeper into the study of the interactions of these proteins with wine phenolic compounds and the factors that could affect them to get new insight about the mechanisms of astringency sensation.Flavanols and flavonols are also involved in the stabilization of colored forms of malvidin-3-O-glucoside (Mv) through copigmentation effect. Moreover, it has been reported that some flavanol-anthocyanin mixtures present a synergic effect toward the interaction with PRPs when compared to individual polyphenols.2 Hence, the main aim of this work is to assess if the interaction between flavanols and flavonols and high molecular weight proteins is affected due to the involvement of these phenolic compounds in the copigmentation effect. To do this, ternary interactions involving Mv, two individual flavanols (catechin and epicatechin) and/or the flavonol quercetin-3-O-glucoside with mucin from bovine submaxillary glands have been studied by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).ITC results show that the studied interactions are driven by both hydrophobic interactions and H-bonds. Results show that mucin interact with the wine phenolic compounds assayed, confirming the possible role of mucins in astringency sensation due to the effect that this interaction may have on lubricating functions of these proteins. Moreover, the presence of anthocyanins in the mixtures affects the interaction between mucins and the phenolic compounds studied, which points out that anthocyanins could play an indirect role on astringency development ant that the whole wine phenolic composition should be considered when astringency sensation is studied.

Analysis of voltammetric fingerprints of different white grape musts reveals genotype-related oxidation patterns

Must oxidation is a complex process involving multiple enzymatic transformations, including the oxidation of phenolics containing an ortho-diphenol function. The latter process has a primary influence on wine aroma characteristics and stability, due to the central role of ortho-diphenols in the non-enzymatic oxidative reactions taking place during winemaking and in finished wine. Although oxidation of must is traditionally avoided, in recent years its contribution to wine quality has been revisited, and in some cases improvements to wine aroma have been observed with the application of controlled must oxidation. Nowadays there is a great interest in the wine industry towards the identification of specific markers or patterns to characterize and classify the response of grape must to oxidation.

Optimization of the ripening time of new varieties descendants of Monastrell

Given the impact of climate change on viticulture in the Region of Murcia, this paper attempts to expose the possibility of using genetic improvement as a dilemma that allows access to new descendant varieties of the autochthonous variety Monastrell crossed with varieties such as Syrah and Cabernet. Sauvignon, thus obtaining hybrids (Gebas and Myrtia). In it, the chromatic parameters and the phenolic profile of the new varieties will be compared with those obtained by the Monastrell variety at two moments during maturation (12 and 14 º Baumé), to check if the results would allow earlier harvests in these new varieties thus avoiding the decoupling between phenolic and technological maturity, while improving the quality of grapes and wines.

Use of the stics crop model as a tool to inform vineyard zonages

STICS est un modèle de culture développé à l’INRA (France) depuis 1996. Il simule les bilans de carbone, d’eau et d’azote dans le système culture-sol, piloté par des données climatiques journaliéres. Il calcule à la fois des variables agricoles (rendement en quantité et qualité) et environnementales (pertes en eau et en azote). Une des originalités de STICS est son adaptabilité à de nombreuses cultures (herbacées, ligneuses, annuelles, pérennes) rendue possible par le choix de paramètres génériques et d’options de formalismes. Le travail présenté traite, dans un premier temps, des spécificités de STICS pour la vigne en terme de bilan trophique, de fonctionnement énergétique et hydrique et d’estimation des teneurs en sucre en en eau du raisin. Nous montrons ensuite diverses sorties du modèle qui permettent de caractériser des terroirs du vignoble des Côtes du Rhône.

Effets des pratiques agro-viticoles sur l’activité biologique et la matière organique des sols : exemples en Champagne et en Bourgogne

The notion of terroir covers multiple components, from geology, pedology, geomorphology and climatology (Doledec, 1995), to aspects that are less well identified but which also intervene in the “typicality” of wines. This justifies the “zoning” approach (Moncomble and Panigaï, 1990) to define homogeneous areas, under the same agro-viticultural management and also identified at the product level (Morlat and Asselin, 1992).
