Identification of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, a gamma nonalactone precursor in must and wine from Bordeaux cultivars

Abstract

Various molecular compounds are responsible for the complex mixture of fragrances that give wine its aroma. In particular, the ‘cooked fruit’ aroma found in red wines from hot and/or dry vintages or from the vinification of late harvested grapes has been intensively investigated in recent years. Lactones and especially γ-nonalactone were found to be responsible for the ‘cooked fruit’ aroma and are able to modulate its intensity. 1,2 This project aimed to study γ-nonalactone formation in order to better predict the intensity of the ‘cooked fruit’ character of wines in relation to the grape maturity. Thanks to our previous work, one precursor of γ-nonalactone has already been identified and quantified in must and wine: the 4-oxononanoic acid. 3 This work is devoted to study alternative γ-nonalactone formation pathways, especially from the products of C18 unsaturated fatty acid peroxidation. 4 That why 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal was suggested as a potential γ-nonalactone precursor. For its quantification in must and wine, the SPE-GC-MS analysis was developed, validated and applied to assaying this compound in must and wine from Bordeaux area. Then, the strereoselective biotransformation of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal into R/S-γ-nonalactone was investigated. Finally, the impact of grape ripening and over-ripening phenomena on 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal content in must was studied.

In conclusion, our results demonstrated the presence of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal in musts and wines and its biotransformation to γ-nonalactone during alcoholic fermentation of red grape varieties. The role of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal as a precursor of the odorous γ-nonalactone in wine is revealed for the first time.

Physico-chemical properties of vine pruning residues with potential as enological additive

Grapes are one of the world’s primary fruit crops, and pruning activities generate high amounts of annual wood wastes [1]. These pruning shoots contain valuable phenolic compounds and could have numerous potential applications [1,2]. Consequently, the aim of this work was to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of vine pruning residues with potential as enological additives. For this purpose, grapevine shoots from 12 varieties grown in Chile were collected during the winter of 2021.

Bacterial community in different wine appellations – biotic and abiotic interaction in grape berry and its impact on Botrytis cinerea development

An in-depth knowledge on the conditions that trigger Botrytis disease and the microbial community associated with the susceptibility/resistance to it could led to the anticipation and response to the Botrytis emergence and severity. Therefore, the present study pretends to establish links between biotic and abiotic factors and the presence/abundance of B. cinerea.

Relationship between terroir and vegetative potential, productivity, yield and must composition of Vitis Vinífera L. Cvs. Cabernet Sauvignon under warm climate conditions

One cultivar could produce distinct wines with typical properties and qualities different depending on its cultivated and its mesoclimatic conditions.

Managing extraction of colour, tannin and methoxypyrazines in Pinot noir grapes treated by leaf removal

Managing extraction of tannins and green aroma compounds attributed from methoxypyrazines in winemaking is crucial for producing high quality Pinot noir wine. This study1 investigated the impact of leaf removal on concentrations of anthocyanins, tannins, and methoxypyrazines in Pinot noir grapes and resultant wines.

OTA DEGRADATION BY BACTERIAL LACCASEST

Laccases from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are described as multicopper oxidase enzymes with copper union sites. Among their applications, phenolic compounds’ oxidation and biogenic amines’ degradation, have been described. Besides, the role of LAB in the toxicity reduction of ochratoxin A (OTA) has been reported (Fuchs et al., 2008; Luz et al., 2018). Fungal laccases, but not bacterial laccases, have been screened for OTA and mycotoxins’ degradation (Loi et al., 2018). OTA is a mycotoxin produced by some fungal species, such as Penicillium and Aspergillus sp., which infect grape bunches used for winemaking.
