Saccharomyces cerevisiae – Oenococcus oeni – Lactiplantibacillus plantarum: focus on malolactic fermentation during production of Catarratto and Riesling white wines

Abstract

The increasing interest in enhancing groundbreaking sensory profile of wines determined the need to select novel strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Metabolic processes characterizing malolactic fermentation (MLF) lead to the production of several organic compounds that significantly impact the oenological and sensory characteristics of wines. Traditional malolactic fermentation relies on the inoculum of LAB at the end of the alcoholic fermentation performed by yeasts. The present research aimed to evaluate the effect of five LAB (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MLP K45H, Oenococcus oeni BETA, O. oeni F2016, O. oeni PN4®, O.oeni VP41® purchased from LallemandOenology) and two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (QA23 from Lallemand and NF213 belonging to culture collection of University of Palermo) co-inoculated or added sequentially after alcoholic fermentation. All experimentations were performed with Catarratto and Riesling white grapes.

Even though the results varied with LAB strain and inoculation strategy adopted, the best performances were registered for L. plantarum MLP K45H that

concluded MLF within three and eight days during co- and sequential inoculation in Catarratto wine, respectively. Thus, it can be assumed that O. oeni strains were more susceptible to competition with S. cerevisiae in comparison to L. plantarum. With regards to Riesling wine production, the best results were shown by strain F2016 during co-inoculation since the MLF was ended within 5 days, maintain the

best fermentative rate also in sequential inoculum.

In conclusion, the use of L. plantarum MLP K45H allowed to overcome the competition of other malolactic microorganisms with yeasts and represents an alternative to the use of O.oeni but the inoculum strategy, and the choice of the strain of bacteria must carefully studied considering the wine complexity.

THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TERROIRS ON AROMA COMPOUNDS OF ‘KALECIK KARASI’ WINES

Kalecik Karası is a domestic grape variety of Turkey, originating from Kalecik district, 80 km from Ankara. Although there is no definite evidence, it is known that it was used in wine production by many civilizations that lived in the Anatolian region, especially the Hittites. Compared to other black wine grapes, it stands out with its low tannin content, rich fruity aroma and complex structure. In good vintages, red fruits such as strawberries, cherries and raspberries stand out in the aroma profile. Although its structure is elegant, it has the potential to age and develop similar to the ‘Pinot Noir’ wine of the Burgundy region. This offers a complex aroma structure including red flowers, earth and ripe fruits.

IMPACT OF MANNOPROTEIN N-GLYCOSYL PHOSPHORYLATION AND BRANCHING ON WINE POLYPHENOL INTERACTIONS WITH YEAST CELL WALLS

Yeast cell walls (CWs) may adsorb wine components with a significant impact on wine quality. When dealing with red wines, this adsorption is mainly related to physicochemical interactions between wine polyphenols and cell wall mannoproteins. However, mannoproteins are a heterogeneous family of complex peptidoglycans including long and highly branched N-linked oligosaccharides and short linear O-linked oligosaccharides, resulting in a huge structural diversity.

Drought responses of grapevine cultivars under different environments

Using grapevine genetic diversity is one of the strategies to adapt viticulture to climate change. In this sense, assessing the plasticity of cultivars in their responses to environmental conditions is essential. For this purpose, the drought tolerance of Grenache, Tempranillo and Semillon cultivars grafted onto SO4 was evaluated at two experimental vineyards, one located in Valencia (Spain) and the other in Bordeaux (France). This was done by assessing gas exchange parameters, water relations and leaf hydraulic traits at the end of the season.
