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.

Rootstock effect on Cabernet Sauvignon aromatic and chemical composition

Grape quality potential for wine production is strongly influenced by environmental parameters and agronomic factors. Several studies underline the rootstock effect on scions vegetative growth and berry composition [1] with an impact on wine quality. Rootstocks are promising agronomic tools for climate change adaptation and in most grape-growing regions the potential diversity of rootstocks is not fully used and only a few genotypes are planted. Moreover, little is known about the effect of rootstock genetic variability on the aromatic composition in wines.

Application of an in vitro digestion model to study the bioaccessibility and the effect of the intestinal microbiota on the red wine proanthocyanidins 

Proanthocyanidins are important phenolic fraction for wine quality, contributing to astringency, bitterness and color. Their metabolism begins in the mouth and continues throughout the gastrointestinal tract; however, most of them are accumulated in the colon where are metabolized by the intestinal microbiota, giving rise to a whole series of phenolic acids that may have greater activity at physiological level than the precursors[1]. This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the bioaccessibility of proanthocyanidins in a red wine developed by Bodegas Pradorey, as well as to evaluate the potential effect of intestinal microbiota on polyphenols metabolism identifying and quantifying secondary metabolites.

Influence of p-Coumaric Acid and Micronutrients on Growth and 4-Ethylphenol Production by Brettanomyces bruxellensis

The wine spoilage caused by Brettanomyces bruxellensis is one of the global concerns for winemakers. Detecting the presence of B. bruxellensis using routine laboratory culture techniques becomes challenging when cells enter the viable but not culturable (VBNC) state. This study aims to investigate the impact of p-coumaric acid (a volatile phenol precursor) and micronutrients on B. bruxellensis’ culturability, viability, and volatile phenol production under sulfite stress. In red wine, exposure to a high sulfite dose (100.00 mg L-1 potassium metabisulfite) resulted in immediate cell death, followed by a recovery of culturability after two weeks.

Foliar application of urea improved the nitrogen composition of Chenin grapes

The nitrogen composition of the grapes directly affects the developments of alcoholic fermentation and influences the final aromatic composition of the wines. The aim of this study was to determine the effect and efficiency of foliar applications of urea on the nitrogen composition of grapes. This study was carried out during 2023 vintage and in the Chenin vineyard located in Estacion Experimental Mendoza (Argentina). Three urea concentrations 3, 6 and 9 Kg N/ha (C1, C2, and C3, respectively) and control (T) were applied in this vineyard at veraison.

Vineyard management practices to reduce sugar content on ‘Monastrell’ grapes

Climate change is resulting in more dry and hot summers, accelerating grape ripening and increasing berry sugars concentration. This results in wines with a higher alcohol content, which has a negative impact on wine quality, as well as, on consumer health. Agronomic practices that minimize these effects on berry composition and, consequently, on wine quality must be defined. In this work, different management practices have been assessed on rainfed ‘Monastrell’ grapevines in Jumilla (Murcia, Spain) from 2021 to 2023 vintages. Mulching, shading, application of kaolin and different types of pruning were evaluated, among others field adaptation practices.
