Genetic variation among wild grapes native to Japan

Abstract

Domesticated grapes are assumed to have originated in the Middle East. However, a considerable number of species are native in East Asian countries such as China, Korea and Japan as well. Evidence suggests that a total of seven species and eight varieties have been found to be native to Japan.  A wide level variation in morphology, genetic and fruit composition exist in wild grape native to Japan. Hence, the present study aimed to assess the ploidy level and genetic variability among the wild grapes native to Japan. A total of seven wild grape, in addition to two hybrids (Vitis vinifera and Vitis ficifolia (Japanese wild grape)) and one each Vitis vinifera and Vitis labruscana cultivars, were evaluated using 14 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. The RAPD markers have been reported to be highly variable both within and between species. The RAPD markers were selected simply because of their uniqueness, simplicity and discriminatory capability. Likewise, ploidy level was determined by flow cytometric methods. The flow cytometric analysis showed no variation among wild grapes and their hybrids. All grapes were diploid irrespective of origin and diverse morphological, phenological and berry characteristics. The 14 RAPD primers amplified 120 reproducible bands among 11 grape accessions. Of the 120 total bands, 114 were polymorphic and 6 were monomorphic. The unweighted pair group method of arithmetic averages (UPGMA) using 120 RAPD bands from 14 selected primers clearly separated the wild grapes into distinct groups. The affinity of hybrid grapes with their parents proved true hybridity.

First results on the chemical composition of red wines from the pressing of marc

In the Bordeaux vineyards, press wine represents approximately 15% of the total volume of wine produced[1]. Valuing this large volume of wine is necessary from an economic point of view, but also because of their organoleptic contribution to the blend, and their contribution to the construction of wines for laying down. Therefore, this study was developed considering the lack of recent scientific knowledge on the composition of red press wines. The aim of this study is to establish an initial assessment of their chemical composition including aromatic compounds and a phenolic part.

Applicability of spectrofluorometry and voltammetry in combination with machine learning approaches for authentication of DOCa Rioja Tempranillo wines

The main objective of the work was to develop a simple, robust and selective analytical tool that allows predicting the authenticity of Tempranillo wines from DOCa Rioja. The techniques of voltammetry and absorbance-transmission and fluorescence excitation emission matrix (A-TEEM) spectroscopy have been applied in combination with machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify red wines from DOCa Rioja according to region (Alavesa, Alta or Oriental) and category (young, crianza or reserva).

Photoprotective extracts from agri-food waste to prevent the effect of light in rosé wines 

Light is responsible for adverse reactions in wine including the formation of unpleasant flavors, loss of vitamins or photodegradation of anthocyanins. Among them, the riboflavin degradation leads to the formation of undesirable volatile compounds, known as light-struck taste. These photo-chemical reactions could be avoided by simply using opaque packaging. However, most rosé wines are kept in transparent bottles due to different commercial reasons. Some agri-food waste extracts have been studied for their photoprotective action which turn to be highly correlated with phenolic content [1].

Bioprotection of grape must by Metschnikowia sp.: genericity and mechanism

The market trend heads to food products with less chemical inputs, including in oenology. During the winemaking process, sulfites are commonly use to avoid microbiological contamination and stabilization of the wine thanks to its antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Nevertheless, this use is not without consequences on human health and environment, leading for example to allergic reaction and pollution. A biological alternative to these sulfites has emerges: the bioprotection.

Aromatic characterization of Moscato Giallo by GC-MS/MS and stable isotopic ratio analysis of the major volatile compounds

Among the Moscato grapes, Moscato Giallo is a winegrape variety characterized by a high content of free and glycosylated monoterpenoids, which gives very aromatic wines. The aromatic bouquet of Moscato Giallo is strongly influenced by the high concentration of linalool, geraniol, linalool oxides, limonene, α-terpineol, citronellol, HO-trienol, HO-diols, 8-Hydroxylinalool, geranic acid and β-myrcene, that give citrus, rose, and peach notes.
