Immobilization of S. cerevisiae and O. œni for the control of wine fermentation steps

Abstract

Controlling the speed of alcoholic (AF) and malolactic (MLF) fermentations in wine can be an important challenge for the production of certain short rotation wines for entry-level market segments. Immobilization techniques for Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Œnococcus œni, the microorganisms responsible for these fermentations, are widely studied for industrial applications. Indeed, these processes allow to accumulate biomass and thus to increase cell densities inducing high fermentation velocities. Recent works have shown the performance of MLF carried out with biofilms of O. œni, immobilized on various supports in a rich medium (MRSm: modified MRS broth with malic acid and fructose).

Our work shows the possibility of inducing the adhesion of O. œni and S. cerevisiae, alone or in co-culture, in low nutriment medium, on different materials already used in the winery environment, at the microplate scale, in static conditions. The quantities of attached biomass (CFU counts) are close for all the tested modalities at the end of the adhesion time (48h for S. cerevisiae and 72h for O. œni with one broth renewal). The inoculated supports are transferred after rinsing into tubes containing must or wine, depending on the application, and the progress of the fermentations is analysed. In most conditions, total sugars are below 5 g/l after 5 days of AF, and all malic acid in the substrate (about 4 g/l) is consumed in 10 to 15 days.

This immobilization model could be the first step towards a perfectly controlled industrial fermentation processes.

la caratterizzazione dell’areale viticolo “terre alte di brisighella”: aspetti metodologici e primi risultati

La zonazione viticola rappresenta un importante strumento di indagine per valutare e interpretare le potenzialità produttive e qualitative di un territorio. Con l’obiettivo di studiare come l’ambiente influisca sulla qualità dell’uva nell’areale di Brisighella, sono stati monitorati, nelle annate 2007, 2008 e 2009, 14 vigneti per la varietà Albana e 38 per la varietà Sangiovese, rappresentativi di una area vitata di circa 1000 ha.

Acumulación de materia seca, orientada a valorar la fijación de carbono, en función del aporte de riego y la pluviometría, en Cabernet-Sauvignon a lo largo de 15 años

The vineyard is capable of fixing carbon in its permanent structure from atmospheric carbon dioxide, through the process of gas exchange and the performance of photosynthesis. The photosynthetic capacity of the vineyard depends on the water resources that the plant may have at its disposal, so the amount of dry matter, derived from the processed photosynthates, that it can store will depend on the water regime of the crop, both in the annually renewable organs as in permanent parts.

Application of nitrogen forms such as nitrate, urea, and amino acids effects on leaf and berry physiology and wine quality

Nitrogen (N) uptake by grapevine roots in forms like nitrate, ammonium, urea, or amino acids influences vegetative and generative growth, impacting grape quality and wine sensory profile. The study examined nitrogen’s influence on phenolic compounds in leaves, berries, and wine across different scales — hydroponics, soil culture, and vineyard trials. Nitrogen forms altered metabolite patterns in leaves and wine significantly, affecting aroma and flavor. Key nitrogen assimilation enzymes (NR, NiR, GS) in grapevine rootstocks responded to nitrogen forms and timing. Hydroponically grown rootstocks fertilized with various forms showed differences in enzyme expression and activity, suggesting rootstocks can assimilate amino acid glutamine (Gln).
