Bio-protection by one strain of M. Pulcherrima: microbiological and chemical impacts in red wines

Abstract

In enology, bio-protection consists in adding bacteria, yeasts or a mixture of microorganisms on grape must before fermentation in order to reduce the use of chemical compounds such as sulphites. 
More particularly, non-Saccharomyces yeasts are used as a total or partial alternative to sulphites. 
However, scientific data capable of proving the effectiveness of adding these yeasts on grape must remain scarce. A single study in white winemaking showed that early addition of a non-Saccharomyces T. delbrueckii strain could be a microbiological and chemical alternative to sulphites (Simonin et al., 2018). 
However, there is a lack of scientific data concerning red winemaking where the process allows to leave the yeasts added during the whole winemaking. This study reports for the first time the analysis of microbiological and chemical effects of one Metschnikowia pulcherrima strain, inoculated at the beginning of the red winemaking process in three wineries as an alternative to sulphiting. The implantation of the M. pulcherrima was successful in all the wineries and effectively limited the development of spoilage microorganisms in the same way as the addition of sulphites. The addition of non-Saccharomyces strain could protect must and wine from oxidation as demonstrated by the proanthocyanidin and anthocyanin analysis. 
Adding M. pulcherrima had no effect on wine volatile compounds and sensorial analysis. However, the untargeted analysis by FTICR-MS highlighted a bio-protection signature and an activation of certain metabolic pathways.

L’essor des produits “No-Low” : nouveaux défis pour l’étiquetage et la réglementation

In recent years, “no-low” products seem to become a new worldwide trend. It appears to be a possible answer to the well-known context of climate change, the decline in wine consumption, and the wellness/health trend (“free from” claims, vegan, and so on…) That consumers are looking for. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the “no-low” products sold in the french market (but not only french products), focusing on the labelling, packaging, and sales presentation of these products.

Entre ce que les consommateurs disent, ce qu’ils apprécient et ce qu’ils achètent… où se situent les vins de chasselas ?

Originaire du bassin lémanique, le chasselas est l’emblème de la viticulture suisse. Pour autant, les surfaces de chasselas n’ont cessé de diminuer, passant de 6’585 hectares en 1986 à près de 3’600 aujourd’hui, reflet d’une baisse de consommation. Une récente étude a cherché à comprendre les raisons de ce désintérêt. Réalisée dans

IMPACT OF CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ON THE SEASONING QUALITY OF OAK WOOD FOR OENOLOGICAL USE (QUERCUS PETRAEA)

For coopers, seasoning and toasting are considered crucial steps in barrel making during which the oak wood develops specific organoleptic properties. Seasoning, carried out in the open air, allows reducing the moisture content of the staves to between 14 and 18% (compared to 70 to 90% after splitting) while modulating the intrinsic composition of the oak wood. Toasting consists of applying different degrees of heat to a barrel for a specific period of time. As the temperature increases, oak wood produces a wide range of chemical compounds through thermal degradation of its intrinsic composition.
