Oak wood barrel tannin potential builds white wines oxidative stability and contributes to wine metabolomics fingerprint

Abstract

Considerable advances have been made in the chemical characterization of wine metabolites through its holistic study using both targeted and untargeted metabolomics approach. The metabolite pool is subject to an intense molecular dialogue which reinforces the wine complexity even after bottling. The wine oxidative stability might be understood as the intrinsic matrix capacity to prevent aroma deterioration due to oxidative processes. Barrel aging in oak wood is a key element of the elaboration of premium white wines. We have shown that the oak wood tannin potential can influence the wine character and its oxidative status. Here, we report the cross-analysis of the evolution of the antioxidant capacity and related metabolomic fingerprint for white wines made from three distinct varieties (Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon) in barrels with distinct tannin potential. 

The sample set was made of 10 bottles of 2016 Chardonnay where 5 were raised in low tannin potential (LTP) barrels and 5 in medium tannin potential (MTP) barrels; 6 bottles of 2016 Sauvignon (3 LTP and 3 MTP). Fourteen bottles of blends of Sauvignon and Semillon of two vintages (6 bottles of 2016 and 8 of 2017) were also considered to compare new barrel aging to the aging in already used barrel. Wines were assayed for their ability to scavenge DPPH radical, and they were analyzed through untargeted UPLC-Q-Tof-MS and targeted GC-TQ-MS analyses. The untargeted metabolomics approach revealed molecular fingerprints (elemental composition determination) resulting from complex interactions between the wine matrix and the tannin potential. In brief, wines aged in MTP barrel presented a higher density of CHON features in the lower mass range (100-350 Da), while wines aged in LTP barrel rather presented higher density in higher mass range (350-650 Da). This indicated that wines aged in MTP were richer in compounds like mono and di-amino acid peptides that mostly correlated with wine antioxidant capacity (evaluated as EC20) when LTP rather contained oligopeptides. The analysis of the wine volatile profile revealed differences between varieties as well as barrel tannin potential distinction. Thus, LTP presented higher contents in γ-octalactone, γ-nonalactone, furaneol, β-damascenone, furfural, gaiacol, E-whiskylactone and Z-whiskylactone. The present study provided evidence that new MTP oak wood barrels are the most suitable to extend the white wine oxidative stability and to maintain a varietal signature.

Mousy off-flavor detection: a rapid LCMS/MS method

These days, consumers are interested in food products linked to the environment and the concept of naturalness. They prefer “free” products, such as those with no pesticide residues or no added sulfur dioxide (so2) in wines. In fact, so2 is the most widely used preservative in winemaking, as it has multiple properties at low cost: it is antioxidant, antioxidasic and antimicrobial.

Accumulation of polyphenols in Barbera and Nebbiolo leaves during the vegetative season

Grapevine berries produce thousands of secondary metabolites of diverse chemical nature that have been largely detailed in the past due to their importance for defining wine quality. The wide Vitis vinifera diversity, resulting in thousands of different varieties well detailed in many studies regarding berries, is still not investigated in vegetative organs, leaves in particular. Deepening knowledge related to this aspect could be of great interest for many reasons (for example the possibility of using leaf extract for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and nutrition purposes) but, above all, for understanding the susceptibility of different grapevine varieties to pathogens.

Analysis of off flavours in grapes infected with the fungal bunch rot pathogens, Aspergillus, Botrytis and Pencillium

Fungal bunch rots of grapes cause major losses to grape yield worldwide, yet the impact these moulds have on grape and wine quality is not well characterised. We sought to investigate the formation of unwanted volatile compounds of fungal origin in both synthetic grape juice culture media and in inoculated grape berries. Botrytis cinerea, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus carbonarius, or Pencillium expansum were grown in synthetic grape juice medium and the culture homogenates analysed 4 and 7 days post inoculation. HS-SPME-GC-MS analysis of the culture homogenates 4 days post inoculation demonstrated that each of the fungi examined produced varying quantities of the mushroom or fungus-like aroma compounds, 1-Octen-3-ol, 1-Octen-3-one and 3-Octanone with A. carbonarius producing up to ten times the amounts of all three metabolites per mg of dry mycelium.

Exposure to solar radiation affects berry composition through photomorphogenesis or changes in temperature. Flavonol synthesis is upregulated by UV‐B radiation

Non-invasive headspace sorptive extraction for monitoring volatile compounds production by saccharomyces and non-saccharomyces strains throughout alcoholic fermentation

Wine is a solution containing abundant volatile compounds which contribute to their aroma. Many of them are produced by yeast as metabolism by-products. Different yeast strains produce different volatile profiles. The possibility of studying the evolution of volatile compounds during fermentation, using sampling methods that not alter the volume of fermentation media, is of great interest. In spite of this, non-invasive methods to monitoring the evolution of volatile profile during fermentation have been seldom used. The goals of this work were to use by first time the headspace sorptive extraction (HSSE) as non-invasive method to monitor the evolution of volatile profiles throughout alcoholic fermentation and to study the changes on volatile profiles produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lachancea thermotolerans during fermentation of a must with high sugar content.
