Foamability of bentonite treated wines: impact of new acacia gum fractions obtained by ionic exchange chromatography (IEC)

Abstract

Foam is a key aspect of quality of sparkling wines. Bentonite is usually added to the wine to prevent protein haze, but reducing its foamability [1]. New skills are searching to avoid this undesirable event [2]. Acacia senegal gum (Asen) is an exudate from Acacia trees, which can be used to stabilize red wine color. Asen can be fractionated, and the most widely used method is Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) to obtain low (HIC-F1), medium (HIC-F2) and high (HIC-F3) molar mass fractions. The effect of these fractions on the foamability of bentonite-treated wines was studied, showing positive or negative effects depending on the fraction and the wine [3].

Asen can also be fractionated by Ion Exchange Chromatography (IEC) giving a high (IEC-F1) and low (IEC-F2) molar mass fractions [4]. A synthetic wine (SYWI) was prepared (12 % v/v ethanol, 3 g·L-1 of tartaric acid). 8 base wines from Spain (3) and France (5) were made by the traditional white winemaking method. They were treated with bentonite (20 g·hL-1), stirred gently for a few hours, kept in cold storage (10 days, 4 °C), racked and filtered (1 μm). IEC-fractions were added to SYWI (60 g·hL-1) and to wines (30 and 10 g·hL-1). The foaming parameters were compared by shake test and by a classical gas-sparging method (Mosalux), being the qualitative aspect of foam also observed.

In SYWI, IEC-F1 improves the foamability during the total shake test. Both fractions enhance its Maximum Foam Height (HM) and the Foam Stability Height at 5 minutes (HS) measured by Mosalux. IEC-F1 provides less compact foam with larger bubble. In Spanish wines, IEC-F1 increases the foamability during the total shake test. IEC-F1 also improves it in French wines, but weaker and differently depending on the wine. The foamability is punctually enhanced by IEC-F2 in some wines, but it is greatly decreased in 1 French wine. The dose reduction decreases the improving impact of IEC-F1 on the foamability of the French selected wine but not in the Spanish selected wine. IEC-F1 increases HM and HS in both selected wines, whereas IEC-F2 improves HS only in the Spanish selected wine.

Concluding, the addition of IEC-F1 increases foamability for all the studied wines, but very differently depending on the wine. IEC-F2 addition shows positive, neutral or even negative effects depending on the wine. Dose of IEC-F1 may also play a key role depending on the wine.

Contribution of soil and atmospheric conditions to leaf water potential in grapevines

Etant lié au sol et aux conditions atmosphériques, le statut hydrique influence la physiologie de la vigne d’une part, mais joue aussi un role important en ce qui concerne la qualité du raisin et donc du vin d’autre part. Nous avons mesuré, dans la région de Stellenbosch, le statut hydrique sur des pieds de Sauvignon Blanc non irrigués, implantés sur 2 terroirs différents, l’un froid, l’autre plus chaud.

Integrated multiblock data analysis for improved understanding of grape maturity and vineyard site contributions to wine composition and sensory domains

Much research has sought to define the complex contribution of terroir (varieties x site x cultural practices) on wine composition. This investigation applied recent advances in chemometrics to determine relative contributions of vine growth, berry maturity and site mesoclimate to wine composition and sensory profiles of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon for two vintages.

Genomic characterization of terpene biosynthetic genes in seven Vitis vinifera L. varieties 

Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) are a fruit crop of high economic significance globally. Each grapevine cultivar is characterized by its distinctive grape aroma, affecting the wine quality. In several cultivars, the aroma is shaped by terpenoid (mono- and sesqui-terpenoids). Their profile is controlled by terpene synthases (TPS), which are part of a largely expanded gene family. How the variation in TPS copy number and sequence among cultivars determines terpenoid profiles of grapes remains largely unexplored. We annotated TPS in the haplotypes of seven genomes (Riesling, Albariño, Fiano, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Viognier) using BLAST, GMAP, PFAM, and phylogenetic analyses. Further, TPS expression patterns and terpenoid accumulation during berry development and ripening were characterized using RNA-Seq and SPME/GC-MS platforms, respectively. Variation in TPS copy number exists among cultivars. Specifically, the TPS counts span a range of 251 to 150 for Riesling and Fiano, respectively, when considering combined haplotypes within each cultivar. Total terpenoid accumulation patterns throughout development were consistent among the five aromatic cultivars, marked by high concentrations in flowers, followed by a decline and subsequent rise during berry development and ripening, respectively. Conversely, non-aromatic cultivars exhibited no substantial increase in terpenoid concentration during ripening. Transcriptome and network analyses are currently employed to determine which TPS are expressed in the berry and determine the terpenoid profile of the specific cultivar. These findings shed light on the genomic determinants of grape aroma in major cultivars, and allow future studies focused on cultivar-specific responses of terpenoid biosynthesis to environmental stresses.
