Changes in phenolic maturity and texture characteristics of the grape berry under pre-, and post-veraison water deficit

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – Kékfrankos (Vitis vinifera L.) grapevines grafted on Teleki-Kober 5BB rootstock were submitted to water deficit under greenhouse conditions. The aim of the experiment was to study the effect of pre-, and post-veraison water deficit on grape berry phenolic maturity and texture characteristics.

Material and methods – Plants were planted into 50L white plastic containers in a mixture of perlite (20 %), loamy soil (30 %) and peat (50 %) (v/v). Three regimes of water supply were examined: (1) moderate water deficit from berry set until veraison (WD1), (2) moderate water deficit from veraison until harvest (WD2), (3) no water deficit (C). The water deficit treatments defined by the leaf daily stomatal conductance (between
50-150 H2O mmol m-2s-1). Anthocyanin glucosides and flavonols from berry skin were measured by Shimadzu HPLC system, berry texture characteristics were monitored by TA.XT Plus Texture Analyser. Cell and seed maturity indexes (CMI %, SMI %) and basic parameters (yield, sugar concentration, pH, must acidity) were also investigated.

Results – Pre-veraison treatment resulted in the lowest berry and cluster weight. The highest sugar concentration was found in control berries, and it was followed by the WD1 and WD2 treatments. Berries of the well-watered plants presented the lowest phenolic concentration. Pre-veraison water deficit resulted in a sllighty higher concentration of anthocyanin-glucosides compared to post-veraison water deficit. Water restriction during the ripening period induced higher flavonol (ie. quercetin, kaempferol etc.) concentration related to berry skin fresh weight as well as to the whole berry compared to WD1 treatment. Berry skin hardness (Fsk) was the highest in the case WD2 and the lowest was in WD1. Similar results were obtained in the case of berry skin thickness (Spsk). Seed (SMI %) maturity index presented higher values in the case of WD treatments compared to C. Cell maturity index (CMI %) of WD2 was significantly higher than C and WD1, however no differences were found between C and WD1.

CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF A POLYPHENOLIC EXTRACT OBTAINED BY GREEN SUPERCRITICAL CO₂ EXTRACTION FROM RED GRAPE POMACE

Upgrading wine industry solid wastes is considered as one of the main strategies to support the circular economy. Red grape pomaces constitute a rich source of polyphenols, which have been shown to possess antioxidant properties and to provide benefits for human and animal health. The objective of this work was to obtain and characterise polyphenolic extracts from red grape pomaces via green supercritical CO₂ extraction using ethanol as a co-solvent, and to evaluate their antibacterial activity against susceptible and multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strains of animal intestinal origin.

Caractérisation du terroir en Espagne : méthodologie de l’évaluation et de la validation

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in characterizing the ecological environment of vineyard production, and the growing need to delimit and characterize with precision the different homogeneous viticultural units. This has allowed the development of new studies which have as their objective the Vineyard Zoning. The delimitation and characterization of wine-growing areas poses specific problems in Spain, not only linked to the specific characteristics of the territory, but also to the size, distribution and index of viticultural occupation in the designations of origin.

Effect of mixed Torulaspora delbrueckii-Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture on rose quality wine

Alcoholic fermentation using no Saccharomyces wine is an effective means of modulating wine aroma. This study investigated the impact of coinoculating Torulaspora delbruecki with two Saccharomyces cerevisiae commercial yeast (QA23, Lallemand; Red Fruit, Sepsa-Enartis) on enological quality parameters, volatile composition and sensory analysis. The following assays were performed on Tempranillo variety: Saccharomyces QA23 (CTQA), Saccharomyces Red Fruit (CTRF), coinoculated T. delbrueckii + S.cerevisiae QA23 (CIQA) and coinoculated T. delbrueckii + S.cerevisiae (CIRF).

MicrobiomeSupport: Towards coordinated microbiome R&I activities in the food system to support (EU and) international bioeconomy goals

Microbiomes have crucial roles in maintaining life on Earth, and their functions drive human, animal, plant and environmental health. The microbiome research landscape is developing rapidly and is performed in many different science fields using similar concepts but mostly one (eco)system at-a-time. Thus, we are only starting to unravel and understand the interconnectedness of microbiomes across the (eco)systems.
