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.

Dynamics of soil and canopy temperature: a conceptual approach for Alentejo vineyards

Climate change imposes increasing restrictions and risks to Mediterranean viticulture. Extreme heat and drought stress events are becoming more frequent which puts in risk sustainability of Mediterranean viticulture. Moreover row crops e.g. grapevine for wine, are increasingly prone to the impact of more intense/longer exposure time to heat stress. The amplified effects of soil surface energy reflectance and conductance on soil-atmosphere heat fluxes can be harmful for leaf and berry physiology.

EXPLORING THE METABOLIC AND PHENOTYPIC DIVERSITY OF INDIGENOUS YEASTS ISOLATED FROM GREEK WINE

Climate change leads to even more hostile and stressful for the wine microorganism conditions and consequently issues with fermentation rate progression and off-character formation are frequently observed. The objective of the current research was to classify a great collection of yeast isolates from Greek wines based on their technological properties with oenological interest. Towards this direction, fourteen spontaneously fermented wines from different regions of Greece were collected for further yeast typing. The yeast isolates were subjected in molecular analyses and identification at species level.

Using image analysis for assessing downy mildew severity in grapevine

Aim: Downy mildew is a crucial disease in viticulture. In-field evaluation of downy mildew has been classically based on visual inspection of leaves and fruit. Nevertheless, non-invasive sensing technologies could be used for disease detection in grapevine. The aim of this study was to assess downy mildew severity in grapevine leaves using machine vision.

Effects of different antioxidant strategies on the phenolic evolution during the course of a white winemaking process

This work aimed to evaluate the evolution of phenolic compounds during white winemaking process up to bottling and 12 months storage, together with the influence of different antioxidant strategies

Physiological means to curb the enthusiasm of viruses from infecting grapevines  

The two most deadly viruses infecting and threatening the productivity of grapevines worldwide are leafroll and red blotch viruses. There is no cure for viral diseases other than roguing the symptomatic vines and replacing them with certified vines derived from clean, virus-tested stocks.
Given that phloem plays a central role in virus infection, this study aimed to purge the virus by girdling the phloem of leafroll-infected vines at different phenological stages of infected grapevines. Phloem-girdling was performed on canes at veraison to varying regions between the proximal and distal clusters.
