Effect of different plant fibers on the elimination of undesirable compounds in red wine. Correlation with its polysaccharide composition

Abstract

The presence of undesirable compounds in wines, such as OTA, biogenic amines and pesticides residues, affects wine quality and can cause health problems for the consumer. The main tool that a winemaker has to reduce their content in the wine is fining. However, some of the fining agents commonly used in the winery can cause allergies or even increase the protein content in the wine, increasing the turbidity. To avoid these problems, the use of plant fibers may be an alternative, such as those from grape pomace[1] or other plant origins.

The objective of this work was to determine the effect of two plant fibers in the reduction of undesirable compounds and to correlate their behavior with their polysaccharide composition, analyzed using comprehensive microarray polymer profiling (CoMPP). [2] The results showed that a white grape pomace fiber presented the highest capacity for histamine reduction in wine and also reduced large amounts of pesticides, although the highest effectiveness to remove pesticides residues was found when a cereal fiber was used. Looking for a correlation between effectivity and composition, we could see how grape fiber contained high contents of pectic polysaccharides, xyloglucans and arabinogalactan proteins (AGP) whereas the behavior of cereal fiber can only be associated to its xylan content, since the pectic polysaccharides were absent. This was a surprising finding since it is known that fibers may affect wine color due to the high affinity of their polysaccharides, especially pectic polysaccharides for polyphenols, but when looking at the effect of these two fibers on wine chromatic characteristics, the cereal fiber largely affected wine color, more than the grape pomace fiber, so another factor, such as the porosity of the fiber, must also be an important fact regarding their effectiveness.

Prediction of aromatic attributes of red wines from its colour properties 

Wine perception is a multisensory experience that makes use of the sight, smell, and taste senses. When wine is sensorially assessed, the stimulus received generates multiple signals that tasters convert into organoleptic descriptors. Colour is commonly the first attribute evaluated during wine tasting. Moreover, the colour properties provide the taster with a priori information of the wine’s aroma. This preconceived perception is later confirmed or denied during the aroma evaluation.

Culturable microbial communities associated with the grapevine soil in vineyards of La Rioja, Spain

The definition of soil health is complex due to the lack of agreement on adequate indicators and to the high variability of global soils. Nevertheless, it has been widely used as synonymous of soil quality for more than one decade, and there is a consensus warning of scientists that soil quality and biodiversity loss are occurring due to the traditional intensive agricultural practices.
In this work we monitored a set of soil parameters, both physicochemical and microbiological, in an experimental vineyard under three different management and land use systems: a) addition of external organic matter (EOM) to tilled soil; b) no tillage and plant cover between grapevine rows, and c) grapevines planted in rows running down the slope and tilled soil.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Electrodialysis in Controlling Brettanomyces Growth in Wine

Brettanomyces yeast can negatively impact the quality and stability of wines, posing a significant challenge to winemakers. [1] This study aims to develop novel management practices to limit Brettanomyces impact on wines by evaluating the effectiveness of electrodialysis (ED) technology in removing magnesium (Mg2+) from wine to prevent the development of Brettanomyces yeast. The ED technique utilizes charged membranes to extract ions from the wine, and it is considered an alternative to cold stabilization that requires less energy. [2]

Do wine sulphites affect gut microbiota? An in vitro study of their digestion in the gastrointestinal tract

“Sulphites” and mainly sulphur dioxide (SO2) is by far the most widely used additive (E-220/INS 220) in winemaking and likely the most difficult to replace. The well-known antioxidant, antioxidasic and antimicrobial properties of SO2 make this molecule a practically essential tool, not only in winemaking, but also in the production of other food products. The current trend in winemaking is the reduction of this unfriendly additive due to its negative effects on health and environmental. In particular, it could cause headaches and intolerance/allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Wine is considered one of the major contributors of exposure of SO2 in the adult population, when this beverage is included in the diet.
