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

Abstract

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.

To achieve this objective, quantification were performed in 50 press wines and their associated free-run wines. Wines were monovarietal batch from two of the main grape varieties vinified in Bordeaux:  cabernet-sauvignon and merlot. The vintage was 2021 and the vines were located in Saint-Estèphe (Médoc France). A selection of analyzes was carried out. For the aromatic composition: dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and its potential (HS-SPME-GC-MS); higher alcohols (GC-FID); and 32 esters (HS-SPME-GC-MS) were measured. Regarding the analysis of phenolic compounds, anthocyanin monomers (HPLC-UV) and flavanols (HPLC-fluo) were determined. Indices such as IPT, CieLAB, pH, AT were also measured. As expected, the results showed a significant difference between the two grape varieties cabernet-sauvignon and merlot. For the aromatic compounds, the press wines of the two grape varieties were more concentrated than the free run wines, and for the phenolic compounds, the press wines were more concentrated in total tannins and flavanols.

In conclusion, the study of a certain number of aromatic and phenolic compounds in press wines, as well as the associated free-run wines, made it possible to participate in the constitution of a first database. This also shows a contradiction between the results obtained and the declarations of the few old studies mentioning press wines.

Mapping grapevine metabolites in response to pathogen challenge: a Mass Spectrometry Imaging approach

Every year, viticulture is facing several outbreaks caused by established diseases, such as downy mildew and grey mould, which possess different life cycles and modes of infection. To cope with these different aggressors, grapevine must recognize them and arm itself with an arsenal of defense strategies.
The regulation of secondary metabolites is one of the first reactions of plants upon pathogen challenge. Their rapid biosynthesis can highly contribute to strengthen the defense mechanisms allowing the plant to adapt, defend and survive.

Development and validation of a free solvent UHPLC/MS-MS method to analyse melatonin and its precursors in Spanish commercial wines  

Melatonin is a bioactive compound present in foods and beverages such as wines. During alcoholic fermentation, yeast transforms tryptophan into certain indole compounds, including melatonin. This paper aims to develop and validate a free solvent analytical method by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS-MS) to determine melatonin and its precursors (L-tryptophan, tryptamine, serotonin, tryptophol, N-acetylserotonin, 5-hydroxytryptophan, and 3- indoleacetic) that appropriately prevent the matrix effect.

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.

Ability of lactic acid bacterial laccases to degrade biogenic amines and OTA in wine

Two of the most harmful microbial metabolites for human health that can be present in wines and either fermented or raw foods are biogenic amines (BA) and ochratoxine A (OTA). Winemakers are aware of the need to avoid their presence in wine by using different strategies, one of them is the use of enzymes. Some recombinant laccases have been characterized and revealed as potential tools to degrade these toxic compounds in wine[1], specifically biogenic amines[2].
