Impact of glutathione-rich inactivated yeast on wine chemical diversity

Abstract

Glutathione-rich inactivated dry yeasts (GSH-IDY) are claimed to accumulate intracellularly and then release glutathione in the must. Glutathione is beneficial to the wine quality, but scientists also highlighted that GSH-IDYs have a greater effect than only increase the pool of this antioxidant in the wine. This work unveils the extent of diversity of compounds potentially released by three different IDYs with increasing GSH contents.

Unsupervised analysis of IDYs released compounds in model wine was performed with the ultra-high-resolution Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS). This powerful tool allows to have an instant picture of the released compounds chemical diversity. Bioinformatics strategy (chemometric analysis and network annotation) were then applied to visualize and refine the generated data.

Our results clearly show an impact of the GSH accumulation process not only visible on the glutathione itself, but also on the global diversity of compounds. The ratio of annotated CHONS/CHO ions increased from 0.2 to 2.1 respectively with the accumulation of GSH. The IDY with the highest concentration of GSH released 36 unique CHONS annotated ions compared to the two others IDYs. Since the bioprocess dedicated to accumulate the intracellular glutathione used cysteine rich medium, the possibility to attribute this diversity to notably a larger number of cysteinyl residues in peptides raised. Within the 1699 detected ions by (-)FT-ICR-MS, 193 were annotated as peptide sequences (from 2 to 5 residues). Within this pool of peptides, the IDY specific diversity increased with the level of glutathione from 5 to 45 unique m/z. Besides the global diversity, m/z attributed to cysteine containing peptides were much more abundant in the GSH-rich IDY. Within the 25 peptides containing cysteine, and common to the three IDYs, 64 % were more intense in GSH-rich IDY. Thus, the process leading to accumulate glutathione is also involved in other metabolic pathways which contribute to increase CHONS containing compounds and notably peptides.

This work gives new clues on the potential of biotechnology to improve the efficiency of natural yeast derivatives to produce potential active compounds such as cysteine containing peptides. This could lead to substitute partially the chemical additives and thus leading to a better control of wine quality and a better consumer acceptability.

Monferace a new “old style” for Grignolino wine, an autochthonous Italian variety: unity in diversity

Monferace project is born from an idea of 12 winegrowers willing to create a new “old style” Grignolino wine and inspired byancient winemaking techniques of this variety (1). Monferace wine is produced with 100% Grignolino grapes after 40 months of ageing, of which 24 in wooden barrels of different volumes. Grignolino is an autochthonous Italian variety cultivated in Piedmont (north-west Italy), recently indicated as a “nephew” of the famous Nebbiolo (2) and is used to produce three different DOC wines. The Monferace Grignolino is cultivated in the geographical area identified in the Aleramic Monferrato, defined by the Po and Tanaro rivers, in the heart of Piedmont and the produced wine is characterized by a high content of tannins, marked when young, that evolve over the years. Its color is generally slight ruby red and garnet red with orange highlights with ageing.

Traçability of main mineral elements on the chain “soil-leaf-must-wine” in relation to “terroir” and vintage in Loire Valley(France)

Dans le cadre de recherches sur la mise en évidence et le déterminisme d’un «effet terroir »un réseau de parcelles du cépage Cabernet Franc greffé sur S04, a été suivi de 1979 à 1990 en Val de Loire (A.O.C. Saumur-Champigny, Chinon et Bourgueil). Des analyses chimiques (N,P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn) ont été réalisées sur le sol, les feuilles au stade véraison, les moûts en cours de maturation et à la vendange et enfin sur le vin, pour 18 sites (répartis dans 12unités terroirs de base) et 7 millésimes différents.

Late frost protection in Champagne

Probably one of the most counterintuitive impacts of climate change on vine is the increased frequency of late frost. Champagne, due to its septentrional position is historically and regularly affected by this meteorological hazard. Champagne has therefore developed a strong experience in frost protection with first experiments dating from the end of 19th century. Frost protection can be divided in two parts: passive and active. Passive protection includes all the methods that do not seek to modify the vine’s environment or resistance at the time of frost. The most iconic passive protection in Champagne is the establishment of the individual reserve. This reserve allows to stock a certain quantity of clear wine during a surplus year to compensate a meteorological hazard like frost during the following years. Other common passive methods are the control of planting area (walls, bushes, topography), the choice of grape variety, late pruning, or the impact of grass cover and tillage. Active frost protection is also divided in two parts. Most of the existing techniques tend to modify vine’s environment. Most of the time they provide warmth (candles, heaters, windmills, heating cables…), or stabilise bud’s temperature above a lethal threshold (water sprinkling). The other way to actively fight is to enhance the resistance of buds to frost (elicitors). The Comité Champagne evaluates frost protection methods following three main axes: the efficiency, the profitability, and the environmental impact through a lifecycle assessment. This study will present the results on both passive and active protection following these three axes.
