Effects of oak barrel aging monitored by 1H-NMR metabolomics

Abstract

The study of wine evolution during barrel aging is an important aspect of wine quality. Our previous works have shown that wine metabolome monitoring by

1H-NMR approaches allows determining the impact of different winemaking processes including traitements using enzymes or finning agents [1]. In this study, the effects of oak barrel aging were investigated by 1H-NMR metabolomics. Targeted and untargeted 1H-NMR analyses were performed on wines conserved in barrels provided by four different barrel manufacturers. Wine samples were taken after one and twelve months. The collected data were statistically processed by principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and partial orthogonal least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Cross permutation tests and ANOVA were performed to validate the results and determine the compounds significantly impacted. The results of chemometrics analyses show the relevance of 1H-NMR metabolomics for studying the impact of oak barrel aging. The targeted analysis allowed us to identify the compounds that evolved during barrel aging. The untargeted analysis proved to be particularly interesting for the study of the specific signature of each barrel makers. 1H-NMR metabolomics is a rapid method that could be used as a decision support tool for winemaking.

Development of a LC-FTMS method to quantify natural sweeteners in red wines

The quality of a wine is largely related to the balance between its sourness, bitterness and sweetness. Recently, molecules coming from grapes have been showed to notably contribute to sweet taste of dry wines. To study the viticultural and oenological parameters likely to affect their concentration, their quantification appears of high interest and subsequently requires powerful analytical techniques. Therefore, a new method using liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) was developed and validated to quantify epi-DPA-3′-O-β-glucopyranoside acid (epi-DPA-G) and astilbin, sweet molecules identified in wine. Three gradients were tested on five different C18 columns (Hypersil Gold, HSS T3, BEH, Syncronis and Kinetex).

Grape byproducts as source of resveratrol oligomers for the development of antifungal extracts

Grape canes are a non-recycled byproduct of wine industry (1-5 tons per hectare per year) containing valuable phytochemicals of medicine and agronomical interest. Resveratrol and wine polyphenols are known to exert a plethora of health-promoting effects including antioxidant capacity, cardioprotection, anticancer activity, anti-inflammatory effects, and estrogenic/antiestrogenic properties (Guerrero et al. 2009). Additionally, resveratrol is a major phytoalexin produced by plants in response to various stresses and promotes disease resistance (Chang et al. 2011). Our project aims to develop polyphenol-rich grape cane extracts to fight phytopathogenic or clinically relevant fungi. We initiate the project with the development of analytical methods to analyze resveratrol mono- and oligomers (dimers, trimers and tetramers) from grape canes and we evaluate their potential activity against clinically relevant opportunistic fungal pathogens (Houillé et al. 2014).
