Assessment of O2 consumption, a new tool to select bioprotection yeast strains

Abstract

Reduction of sulfur dioxide during winemaking is a request from the wine industry. To replace sulfur dioxide, various alternatives exist, including bioprotection by yeast inoculation. This practice consists in adding non-Saccharomyces yeasts directly on the grapes or must. The antimicrobial properties of non-Saccharomyces yeasts have already been demonstrated due a to niche occupation of the grape must, resulting in a decrease of fungal and acetic bacteria communities. Furthermore, their potential antioxidant properties by consuming oxygen hence reducing the browning of the must and maintaining GSH concentration in white wines has also been described. However, only a few strains of two non-Saccharomyces species were considered in the previous studies while it is known that a significant intra-species genetic diversity exists [1]. In this study, inter and intra species diversity were considered to evaluate O2 consumption by yeast during the prefermentary steps.

First, laboratory assays were optimized and various technological parameters were analyzed such as the O2 concentration, the physiological state of yeasts, the yeast dosages and mixed-combination. Subsequently, 47 yeast strains distributed over 6 enological species and representing their genetic diversity were selected. In order to measure on line dissolved oxygen, a compact FireStingO2 oximeter (Pyroscience, Aix-La-Chappelle, Germany) was used. The kinetics of O2 consumption by yeast in a grape must model medium were evaluated and the consumption rates were calculated and expressed as mg of O2 consumed per liter and per number of living cells (determined by flow cytometry). Thus, an Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR) per strain was obtained, ranging from 15 to 65 mg/L.

Results show that an interspecific diversity can be highlighted. Indeed, some species consumed significantly more O2 than others. The O2 consumption in grape must by yeasts could be linked to their respiratory metabolism and correlated with a Crabtree effect. Moreover, for some species, intraspecific diversity was obtained revealing a variability which could be interesting to further investigate. These results provide important data for selecting new bioprotection strains in winemaking.

How to improve the success of dead vine replacement: insights into the impacts of young plant‘s environment 

Grapevine faces multiple biotic and/or abiotic stresses, which are interrelated. Depending on their incidence, they can have a negative impact on the development and production of the plant, but also on its longevity, leading to vine dieback. One of the consequences of vine dieback on production is the increased replacement rate of dead or missing vines within a parcel.

Statewide relationships between water potentials, gas exchange and δ13c of grape musts in California. Implications for use in precision viticulture

The measurement of carbon isotopic discrimination of musts (δ13C) at harvest is an integrated assessment of water status during ripening of grapevine. It is an alternative to traditional measurements of water status in the field, which is crucial for understanding spatial variability of plant physiology at the vineyard scale, proven useful for delineation of management zones in precision viticulture. The aim of this work was to attune the method for the first time to California conditions across a range of areas and cultivars with different hydric behavior, and to evaluate its efficiency in delineating management zones for selective harvest in commercial vineyards.

Tannin potential and molecular toasting in cooperage: a tool to modulate fruity expression of red wine

AIM: Oak wood play traditionally a huge role in making fine red wines. During wine maturation, barrel yields some of its constituents to the wine and leads to the improvement of its quality, contributing to richness and complexity [1].

Effect of concentration and competition between different fungicide residues on the adsorption efficiency of activated vegetal fibres for treatment of wine

Vineyards are strongly exposed to fungal diseases, attacks from insects and competition with weeds. Most treatments used on grape vines contain synthetic active substances, which may be transferred to the wine. Such pesticides have a negative image because many active substances are potential health hazards. A specific oenological treatment allowing the reduction of pesticide residues in wine based on activated vegetable fibres (AVF) is under examination by the International Organisation for Vine and Wine. This technique works efficiently and alters the wine only little (Lempereur et al. 2014).

Geological history and landscape of the Coastal wine-growing region, South Africa

The geology of the Western Cape testifies to the former existence of a late Precambrian supercontinent, its fragmentation, the closure of an ocean between the South African and South American continental precursors (Kalahari and Rio de la Plata cratons), the accumulation of marine sediments and limestones, and their compression during a collision between these cratons
