Impact of strain and inoculation time on yeasts interactions: mass spectrometry-based study.

Abstract

Under oenological conditions, when yeasts grow simultaneously during alcoholic fermentation, they often do not coexist passively, and in most cases, physiological and metabolic interactions are established between them. They interact by producing unpredictable compounds and fermentation products that can affect the chemical composition of the wine and therefore alter its aromatic and sensory profile. With its great resolution and excellent mass accuracy, ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry (uHRMS) is the perfect tool to analyze the yeast metabolome at the end of alcoholic fermentation.

In this study, we aimed to characterize different non-Saccharomyces (NS) yeast species and to study the influence of these strains in sequential cultures with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S). We show that tremendous differences exist between species in terms of metabolites, and we could clearly differentiate wines according to the yeast strain used in single cultures and markers, which reflect important differences between the yeast species. uHRMS was able to distinguish thousands of metabolites and provides deep insights into grape must composition allowing better understanding of the yeast-yeast interactome. Single cultures could be easily discriminated from sequential cultures based on their metabolite profile. New metabolites appeared in wines from sequential fermentation compared to single fermentation. The dominance of S, characterized by a metabolic richness not found with NS, is dependent on inoculation time and on the yeast species present. The wine composition of sequential culture is not only the addition of metabolites from each species but is the result of complex interactions. Co-inoculation leads to the formation of new compounds, reflecting a reshuffling of yeast metabolism linked to interaction mechanisms.

Integrative grape to wine metabolite analyses to study the vineyard “memory” of wine

Wine production is a complex multi-step process and the end-product is not easily defined in terms of composition and quality due to the diversity of the raw materials (grapes) and the biological agents (yeast and bacteria) used/present during the fermentation. Furthermore, linking what happens in the vineyard to the wine fermentation and ultimately to characteristics in the wine during ageing

Effects of a new vacuum evaporation method on chemical and sensory properties of must and wine

A new process for vacuum evaporation was developed where evaporation takes place near the inner surface of a vortex produced by a rotor submerged in the liquid. Contrary to the state of the art the Vortex rotor process does not need a vacuum vessel but the rotating liquid creates a geometrically stable low pressure void surrounded by a vortex stabilized by the equilibrium between centrifugal forces and the pressure difference. First tests with water and sugar solutions at concentrations similar to grape must were conducted to verify the theoretical predictions, test the performance under different conditions and study the effect of various process parameters (Rösti et al 2015).

Les terroirs viticoles ont une histoire

The historian starts from a scientific, rigorous and recent definition of the wine-growing region. “A viticultural terroir is made up of several homogeneous units: geological and pedological elements (texture,
grain size, thickness, mineralogical nature, chemical components), geomorphological (altitude, slope, exposure), climatological (rainfall, temperature, insolation)”. Absent from this definition, the man is fortunately reintroduced a little further. By associating viticulture and winemaking, it forms a “couple” with the terroir and this couple.

Differences in metabolism among species and hybrids of the genus Saccharomyces during wine fermentation unveiled by multi-omic analysis 

Yeast species S. cerevisiae, S. uvarum, S. kudriavzevii and their hybrids present clear metabolic differences, even when we compared S. cerevisiae wine versus wild strain. These species and hybrids produced significantly higher amounts of glycerol, organic acids, 2,3-butanediol, and 2-phenyl ethanol and a reduction of the ethanol yield, properties very interesting in the sector to deal with climate change effects. To understand the existing differences, we have used several omics techniques to analyze the dynamics of the (intra- and extracellular) metabolomes and/or transcriptomes of representative strains of S. cerevisiae, S. uvarum, S. kudriavzevii, and hybrids.

Sensory changes in wines associated with the ripening of Grenache grapes from vineyards in different climatic zones

Climate change is introducing a high variability on grape ripening, causing uncertainty, excessive spending on pesticides and eventually frustrating results in terms of the quality of the vintage, with the increasingly frequent appearance of aromatic problems associated with overripeness, raisining and greenness, which sometimes only appear in bottled wines.
