Yeast mannoprotein characterization and their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation

Abstract

Mannoproteins are released at the end of alcoholic fermentation due to yeast autolysis [1]. It has been described a positive effect of these molecules on lactic acid bacteria growth [2]. The main objective of this work was the characterization of different mannoproteins extracted from active dry yeast (ADY) and the assessment of their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation (MLF).

The cell wall fraction of strains from different yeast species were extracted by autolysis and alkali methods: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Lachancea thermotolerans and Metschnikowia pulcherrima. The profiles of the polysaccharide fraction were analyzed by HPLC-DAD and HRSEC-RID. The protein and glycoprotein profiles were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The effect on MLF of the addition of 2 g/L of each mannoprotein extract was evaluated in a wine like-medium using the O. oeni strain PSU-1 (ATCC BAA-331). The consumption of L-malic was monitored by an enzymatic method. The analysis of mannoprotein consumption, in terms of equivalents of mannose, was carried out by HPLC-MWC-RID.

The polysaccharide composition and the size of mannoproteins extracted by the two methods were significantly different for all the mannoproteins. Protein and glycoprotein profiles were also different in all the studied yeast walls. The addition of mannoprotein extract influenced the evolution of MLF differently according to the extraction method. Mannoproteins obtained by the yeast autolysis showed a positive effect on MLF in all cases; this effect was also observed in two S. cerevisiae and L. thermotolerans extracted by the alkali method. However, MLF was arrested after consuming 0.5 g/L of L-malic acid in the rest of fermentations with mannoproteins obtained by the alkali method. The results obtained indicate that the capacity of O. oeni to use mannoproteins depends on the mannoprotein composition, which in turns depends on the yeast species and the extraction method.

Selecting green cover species in the under-trellis zone of Lower Austrian vineyards

The under-trellis zone of vineyards is a sensitive area through which vines cover a significant portion of their nutrient and water needs. Mechanical and chemical methods are applied to suppress competing and tall-growing weeds to ensure optimal vine growth conditions. In addition to higher operating costs and depending on the soil conditions, these practices might lead to a long-term reduction in soil fertility and biodiversity. The presented study aims to analyse the suitability and interspecies competition of a selected green cover mixture of five local herbaceous species as potential green cover mixture in the under-trellis area of Lower Austrian vineyards.

Effect of ultraviolet B radiation on pathogenic molds of grapes

The fungicidal effect of UV-C radiation (100-280 nm wavelength) is well known, but its applicability for the control of pathogenic molds of grapes is conditioned by its effect on the host and by the risks inherent in its handling[1].
As an alternative, the effect in vitro of UV-B radiation (280-315 nm) on the main pathogenic molds of grapes has been studied: Botrytis cinerea, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium expansum and Rhizopus stolonifer.

Ecophysiological characterisation of terroir effects on Vitis vinifera L. Chardonnay and pinot noir in south african cool climate regions

Terroir encompasses environmental (climate, geology, soil and topography), genetic (cultivar and clone) and human factors (oenological and viticultural practices). Climate change brings about shifts in the suitability of a region for the growth of specific grapevine cultivars. This study focused on climatic and fruit parameters (berry size, weight, pH, total acidity (TA) and phenolics) to characterise the terroir effect in Vitis vinifera L. cultivars Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards in the Cape South Coast region (Walker Bay and Elgin).

Sparkling wines and atypical aging: investigating the risk of refermentation

Sparkling wine (SW) production entails a two-steps process where grape must undergoes a primary fermentation to produce a base wine (BW) which is then refermented to become a SW. This process allows for the development of a new physicochemical profile characterized by the presence of foam and a different organoleptic profile.

Chemical profiling and sensory analysis of wines from resistant hybrid grape cultivars vs conventional wines

Recently, there has been a shift toward sustainable wine production, according to EU policy (F2F and Green Deal), to reduce pesticide usage, improve workplace health and safety, and prevent the impacts of climate change. These trends have gained the interest of consumers and winemakers. The cultivation of disease resistant hybrid grape cultivars (DRHGC), known as ‘PIWI’ grapes can help with these objectives [1]. This study aimed to profile white and red wines produced from DRHGC in South Tyrol (Italy). Wines produced from DRHGCs were compared with conventional wines produced by the same wineries. The measured parameters were residual sugars, organic acids, alcohol content, pigments and other phenolics by LC-QqQ/MS, colorimetric indexes (CIELab); and volatile profiles (HS-SPME-GCxGC-ToF/MS [2]).
