Oenotannins addition in wine: can be the modulation of redox potential predictable?

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the interaction between oenotannins and wine matrix in order to design a targeted oenotannins addition for modulating the redox status of wine. It is in fact known that oenotannins can regulate the redox potential of musts and wines since they are electroactive substances (1).

To this aim, the present study was divided in two steps:

(i)        twenty different commercial tannin preparations (including condensed and hydrolysable tannins) were characterized in order to prepare three oenotannins mixtures suitable for diverse modulations of the redox potential in wine (increase, decrease and stabilize). In particolar, tannins were dissolved in a model wine solution (12% alcohol, pH 3.5 with tartaric acid) and analyzed to determine the total polyphenol content, anti-radical activity, polyphenolic composition by HPLC-MS, and reactivity with proteins. The effect of tannins on the redox potential modulation was monitored for 48 hours after addition to the model wine solution, in standard condition (20 °C, no oxygen) as suggested by Vivas et al. (2);

(ii)        the three oenotannins mixtures obtained were added to eight different red and white wines with the aim of modulating their redox potential. Wines were chemically analyzed and the redox potential monitored for three months.

The results here obtained highlighted that commercial oenotannins, when added to the model wine solution, showed a different impact in the redox potential: condensed tannins from grape seed, quebracho and tea showed the ability to raise the redox potential; hydrolysable tannins from gallnuts and tara showed an important increase in redox potential, as well as for some oenotannins derived from oak. In this last case, the ability to modulate the redox potential (increase or decrease) was linked to the wood origin, toasting and drying prior the tannins extraction.

The three oenotannins mixtures added to the red and white wines affected their chemical composition  as well as their redox potential.

A PLS1 model was successfully built using the wine chemical parameters and the redox potential monitored for three months, in order to predict the redox status of wines through the oenotannins addition.

The research carried out by the URVV of the INRA center in Angers aims to develop a methodology for the integrated characterization of the natural factors of viticultural terroirs, representative of the operating conditions of the vine and the sensory differences of the wines. In this context, the concept of Basic Terroir Unit (UTB) has been developed. The UTB represents a viticultural surface of variable geographical extension, defined as the association in a given place of a geological, pedological and landscape component, Morlat (1989), Riou et al. (1995).

Counting grape bunches using deep learning under different fruit and leaf occlusion conditions

Yield estimation is very important for the wine industry since provides useful information for vineyard and winery management. The early yield estimation of the grapevine provides information to winegrowers in making management decisions to achieve a better quantity and quality of grapes. In general, yield forecasts are based on destructive sampling of bunches and manual counting of berries per bunch and bunches per vine.

ASSESSING THE ROLE OF 27 KNOWN BITTER COMPOUNDS IN COMMERCIAL WHITE WINES COMBINING LC-MS QUANTIFICATION AND SENSORY ANALYSIS

The balance between the different flavours of a wine largely determines its perception and appreciation by the consumers. In white wines, sweetness and sourness are usually the two poles balancing the taste properties. The bitter flavour, on the other hand, is frequently associated with a loss of equilibrium and all white wines (dry and sweet, young and aged) are affected.
Several bitter compounds are already well-described in wines.
