Nucleophilic fraction to estimate the antioxidant activity of inactivated yeast derivates

Abstract

Oxidation in wine is mostly related to the Michael addition of nucleophiles on two quinones formed from the oxidation of ortho-diphenols. In wine this mechanism is responsible for the increase of the yellow hue and aroma loss. Glutathione exerts its antioxidant activity throughout its competitive addition onto quinones, but many other compounds can have the same behavior: sulfanyl compounds, amino acids, etc. Addition of yeast derivates during the winemaking process can increase the level of those nucleophilic compounds and then confer to the wine a higher resistance against chemical oxidation. In order to evaluate the antioxidant efficiency of yeast derivatives the measurement of radical scavenging activity was firstly applied in model wine like conditions. All tested YDs could reduce the DPPH radical, with yeast derivatives enriched in glutathione presenting the highest antiradical capacity compared to those without glutathione enrichment. To estimate the impact of the glutathione concentration on the DPPH results, its concentration was measured on the different solutions. However, there was no clear relationship between the concentration of native glutathione and the anti-radical activity of the YD (spearman correlation ρ = 0.46, p-value > 0.3) despite the known antiradical activity of glutathione. To go beyond the DPPH method, which does not provide any molecular information related to the antioxidant activity of inactivated yeast derivatives, we developed the measurement of inactivated yeast derivatives’ nucleophiles through the evaluation of the specificity and the kinetic of the competitive addition of nucleophilic compounds on the stable quinone 4-methylcatechol. The soluble part of yeast derivatives dissolved in a wine-like a model solution was added to this quinone and thanks to the LC-MS characterization of formed adducts, we could extract this nucleophilic fraction. The pool of 52 nucleophiles other than glutathione enabled to cluster the yeast derivatives according to their initial nucleophilic content and thus their potential antioxidant activity. The DPPH assay revealed the failure of the glutathione concentration to explain the scavenging activity of yeast derivatives soluble fractions. However, the derivatization procedure highlighted the potential of nucleophiles not considered until now to better characterize the antiradical activity of yeast derivatives soluble fractions. This study showed the major importance to consider the global nucleophilic fraction for a better assessment of the antioxidant potential of yeast derivative soluble fractions and highlights the potential of this approach for the characterization of oenological additives.

Building of a hierarchy of wines based on terroirs: an initiative from the producers of Muscadet

The Muscadet area is situated in the southeast of Nantes, close to the Atlantic coast. It constitutes the western extension
of the French vineyard “Loire Valley”. The Muscadet is renowned and often spontaneously linked to a white wine.
However it remains misconceived as an ordinary wine, lacking authenticity.

How the physical components of the terroir can differently intervene in French wines DPO definitions.Example of Côte de Nuits in Burgundy

European regulations describe what elements must be given in the specifications of DPO determination ; mainly production conditions, links between quality and products characteristics and the physical traits of the production area. These elements are given in the “link to terroir” paragraph relating natural and human factors, detailed product characteristics linked to the geographical area and at last interactions between product originality and the geographical area.

Vignobles sur les pentes en Bourgogne : l’aube d’un nouveau modèle de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge

La découverte d’une vigne gallo-romaine en plaine à Gevrey-Chambertin (Côte-d’Or) constitue un point important pour la compréhension de la construction des terroirs viticoles de Bourgogne. Sa situation en plaine constitue pour nous le point de départ d’une large réflexion sur la mise en place du modèle de viticulture de coteau qui prévaut en Bourgogne et sur les facteurs de ce changement de norme de qualité viticole. Les sources mobilisées pour cette approche interdisciplinaire et diachronique sont géomorphologiques, archéologiques et textuelles.

Everything else, it’s work ”Socio-cultural dimensions of terroir among Bordeaux winemakers

In 2010, the OIV adopted a resolution that defines ‘terroir’. The OIV definition understands terroir as the result of the interactions between the physical specificities of a space and human labor, with an emphasis on the subsequently produced collective knowledge (OIV-VITI 333-2010); by doing so, it alludes to the social and cultural dimensions of terroir.

Swiss program for the creation of fungal disease resistant grape varieties in Switzerland

Grapevine breeding is part of the research program of Agroscope in Switzerland since 1965. From 1965 to 1995, the aim of the Vitis vinifera crosses was to obtain a high resistance to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea), one of the most virulent fungal pathogens in the Swiss vineyard. In 2021, the grape varieties released from this first breeding program covered 936 ha of the 15’000 ha of the Swiss vineyard.
In 1996, a second breeding program aimed at obtaining, by classical interspecific hybridization, grape varieties resistant to downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and powdery mildew (Erisyphe necator) and less sensitive to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea). In order to accelerate and make the selection process more reliable, an early biochemical test was developed based on the natural defense mechanisms of the vine against downy mildew (stilbene phytoalexins). The synthesis of stilbenes (i.e., resveratrol and its oxidized dimers - and -viniférine) and pterostilbenes (methylated derivative) is among the most efficient induced defense mechanisms of grapevine against fungal pathogens on both the leaves and the clusters.
