Influence of two yeast strains and different nitrogen nutrition on the aromatic compounds in Lugana wine

Abstract

Lugana Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) wines are made from Turbiana grapes. The aroma of Lugana wines results from the combined contribution of esters, terpenes, norisprenoids, sulfur compounds and the benzenoid methyl salicylate. This study aims to investigate how volatile aroma compounds are affected by different nitrogen supplies and yeast strains. Wines were produced with a standard protocol with 2021 Turbiana grapes with two different yeasts Zymaflore Delta e Zymaflore X5 (Laffort, France). During the alcoholic fermentation of the must when H2S appeared additions of various nitrogen supply were made: inorganic nitrogen, organic nitrogen, a mix of inorganic and organic nitrogen and organic nitrogen with an addition of pure methionine. Free volatile compounds were analyzed using GC-MS techniques. Analyses during the alcoholic fermentation process of the Lugana wines indicate that Zymaflore Delta developed higher concentrations of H2S than the other. Instead observing the influence of the different nitrogen nutrients it can be said that the best solution to limit the formation of H2S is to use the mix of organic and inorganic nitrogen. For almost all the biochemical classes of the analysed compounds, a statistically significant difference was shown about the yeast variable. Regarding the differences given by the variable of nitrogen nutrition, however, it is shown that all classes are influenced by it. With regard to Lugana wines fermented with Zymaflore Delta, the addition of the mix of organic and inorganic nitrogen led to higher concentrations of α-terpineol, the use of organic nitrogen favored a higher presence of TDN, and the use of this type of nitrogen added with methionine led to higher concentrations of α-terpineol. On the other hand, wines fermented with Zymaflore X5, the addition of the nitrogen nutrition mix during fermentation resulted in higher concentrations of norisoprenoids, while the addition of organic nitrogen and methionine resulted in higher levels of DMS, linalool, α-terpineol and methyl salicylate. This study showed that the choice of yeast proved to be the variable with the greatest impact on the volatile chemical profile of the wines studied. Furthermore, the choice of nitrogen nutrient had a significant impact on the production of volatile compounds but did not follow a specific trend within the classes of compounds that could be defined as improving or worsening the general aromatic profile of the wines.

New technologies to characterize spatial variability in viticulture

Measurements of parameters spatialy positionned, with on line sensors mounted on classical machinery or airborne imagery is no more a problem in viticulture. In a short time, high resolution data dedicated to the assessment of the vine characteristics, the soil, the harvest, etc. will become a reality.

ANTHOCYANINS EXTRACTION FROM GRAPE POMACE USING EUTECTIC SOLVENTS

Grape pomace is one of the main by-products generated after pressing in winemaking.Emerging methods, such as ultrasound-assisted extraction with eutectic mixtures, have great potential due to their low toxicity, and high biodegradability. Choline chloride (ChCl) was used as a hydrogen bond acceptor and its corresponding hydrogen bond donor (malic acid, citric acid, and glycerol: urea). Components were heated at 80 °C and stirred until a clear liquid was obtained. Distilled water was added (30 % v/v). A solid-liquid ratio of 1 g pomace per 10 ml of eutectic solvent was used.

Influence of planting stock and training strategy on the development and productivity of Pinot noir grapevines

For cool windy climates and/or lower vigor site situations delays in vine development during vine establishment can result in a greater number of growing seasons to achieve full yield potential. Plant material and training strategies utilized are critical factors in promoting vine development and production that is appropriate to the site conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate nursery planting stock and training strategies for their potential to achieved advanced vine development and yield.

Dynamics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae population in spontaneous fermentations from Granxa D’Outeiro terroir (DOP Ribeiro, NW Spain)

Granxa D’Outeiro is a recovered ancient vineyard located in the heart of DOP Ribeiro, where traditional white grapevine varieties are growing under sustainable management. Spontaneous fermentations using grape must from Treixadura, Albariño, Lado, Godello, and Loureira varieties were carried out at experimental winery of Evega. Yeasts were isolated from must and at different stages of fermentation. Those colonies belonging to Saccharomyces cerevisiae were characterized at strain level by mDNA-RFLPs.

Health benefits of winemaking by-products: in vitro study of the phenolic profile and potential healthy properties

The wine sector plays a significant role in the international agri-food industry, with the winemaking process leading to the generation of considerable amounts of by-products. Among these by-products, grape pomace, is one of the most abundant resources, mainly finding application in the production of distillates, fertilizers, and animal feed.
