Influence of polysaccharide extracts from wine by-products on the volatile composition of sparkling white wines

Abstract

In the production of sparkling wines, during the second fermentation, mannoproteins are released by yeast autolysis, which affect the quality of the wines. The effect of mannoproteins has been extensively studied, and may affect aroma and foam quality. However, there are no studies on the effect of other polysaccharides such as those from grapes. Considering the large production of waste from the wine industry, it was proposed to obtain polysaccharide-rich extracts from some of these by-products[1]. Therefore, the aim of this work was to study the effect of polysaccharide extracts obtained from white grape must and pomace on the volatile composition of a sparkling white wine and to compare them with the use of commercial mannoproteins.

The Verdejo sparkling wines were elaborated by the traditional method and the different extracts were added in the tirage liquor. Five experiences were carried out: control wine and wines with the addition of four extracts from white must, white pomace, and two commercial products rich in yeast polysaccharides. The second fermentation was carried out in closed bottles in contact with lees and after 9 months, the sparkling wines were riddled and disgorged, and they were analyzed after 3 months. Minor volatile compounds were extracted by headspace solid-phase microextraction and quantified using a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass detector.

Statistically significant differences were found for most of the volatile compounds evaluated by treatment effect. The sparkling wines treated with polysaccharide extracts from wine by-products showed higher contents of ethyl esters of straight-chain fatty acids, ethyl esters of branched-chain fatty acids, alcohol acetates, terpenes and vanillin derivates than control wines. Therefore, these extracts can favor the maintenance of high content of volatile compounds associated with fruity and floral notes.

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.

Acceptability of canned wines: effect of the level of involvement of consumers and type of wine

In recent years there has been a growing demand for alternative packaging designs in the food industry focused on diminishing the carbon footprint. Despite the environmental advantages of cans versus bottles, the traditional environment of wine has hindered the establishment of less contaminant containers. In this context, the objective of this study was to understand and generate knowledge about consumers´ perception of canned wines in comparison to bottled wines.

Typicality of Rioja wines: identification of sensory profiles for the three subregions of DOCa Rioja

Within the DOCa Rioja three main production areas are differentiated: Rioja Alta (RA), Rioja Alavesa (RAv) and Rioja Oriental (RO). They are three diverse territories with particular characteristics that are claimed to give rise to differentiated profiles. The present work aims at evaluating the sensory diversity of young commercial red wines in these three subregions. Therefore 30 young red wines (mainly Tempranillo and vintage 2021), ten from each subregion, were sensory described following a non-verbal free sorting task and a verbal free comment task by 32 well-established Rioja winemakers.

Rootstock regulation of scion phenotypes: the relationship between rootstock parentage and petiole mineral concentration

Rootstocks not only provide tolerance to Phylloxera, but also ensure the supply of water and mineral nutrients to the whole plant. Rootstocks are an important way of adapting to environmental conditions while conserving the typical features of scion varieties. We can exploit the large diversity of rootstocks used worldwide to aid this adaptation. The aim of this study was to characterise rootstock regulation of scion mineral status and its relation with scion development.

Phenolic composition of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Argentina, Portugal and Spain

Grape and wine phenolic compounds have been shown to be highly related to both wine quality (color, flavor, and taste) and health-promoting properties (antioxidant and cardioprotective, among others). The aim of this work was to evaluate and compare the phenolic contents of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from different geographical areas and climatic conditions, namely from Argentina, Portugal and Spain vintage 2022. In addition, the phenolic profiles of the Portuguese wines from three vintages (2020, 2021, 2022) was compared.
