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.

High-altitude vineyards under extreme conditions in the PIWI context of cultivation: economic and marketing evidence from an exploratory study in Northern Italy

Viticulture has spread to unexpected locations, such as high-altitude terrain. Among these, high-altitude viticulture has captured considerable attention, not only for the uniqueness of its products and landscapes but also because it offers an effective response to climate changes
The aim of this study is to analyse and compare wineries that used Piwi varieties (acronym for the German Pilzwiderstandfähig, i.e., cryptogame-resistant) at high altitudes (between 500 and 920 m a.s.l.) with the traditional non-mountainous viticulture model.

Crossed approaches to experimental economics and sensory analysis regarding noble rot sweet wines perception

Noble rot sweet wines are reputed wines, traditionally elaborated according to a singular vinification process involving the harvesting of overripe grapes under the action of the ascomycete fungus Botrytis cinerea.

A new chemiluminescence method related to molecules derived from Botrytis cinerea for characterization of Aszu wines from Tokaj, from Hungary

OmicBots – An innovative and intelligent multi-omics platform facing wine sector challenges

To face emerging competition and challenges, wine producers globally rely on precision viticulture (PV) solutions to boost productivity, enhance quality, increase profitability, and reduce the environmental impact of vineyards. Current pv methods predominantly use multispectral sensor data from several platforms (satellites or vineyard installations). However, these applications generally use data analysis strategies lacking physiological grapevine support.
