Effect of abiotic stress and grape variety on amino acid and polyamine composition of red grape berries

Abstract

Vines are exposed to environmental conditions that cause abiotic stress on the plants (drought, nutrient and mineral deficits, salinity, etc.). Polyamines are growth regulators involved in various physiological processes, as in abiotic plant stress responses. Stressful conditions can modify grape’s composition, and in this work, we have focused on studying the effect of abiotic stress on the composition of polyamines and amino acids in grapes. In addition, the effect of grape variety on these compounds has been studied. Forty-two grape samples from different vineyards of Pago de Carraovejas Winery, were harvested at the optimum ripening. Polyamines and amino acids of these musts were analyzed by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography with a diode-array detection system. Enological parameters were also determined according to official analysis methods. Multifactor analysis (MFA) was performed using the RStudio program, considering stress as qualitative variable.

MFA allowed differentiating the samples by stress and grape variety. Grapes from more stressed vineyards had the highest content of arginine, alanine, glutamine, methionine, lysine and serine. In contrast, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes showed higher content of proline, glycine, putrescine and spermidine, and lower content of most amino acids (tryptophan, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, alanine, glutamine and methionine) than Tempranillo grapes.

These results indicate influence of grape variety and stress factor on polyamine and amino acid content of grape berries. Polyamine concentration seems to be more associated to grape variety than to stress. Further studies are needed to assess the evolution of these compounds during ripening and fermentation since amino acids are an important source of nitrogen for yeast growth and they are volatile compound precursors.

Application of UV-B radiation in pre- and postharvest as an innovative and sustainable cultural practice to improve grape phenolic composition

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a minor part of the solar spectrum, but it represents an important ecological factor that influences many biological processes related to plant growth and development. In recent years, the application of UVR in agriculture and food production is emerging as a clean and environmentally friendly technology.
In grapevine, many studies have been conducted on the effects of ambient levels of UVR, but there are few considering the effects of UV-B application on grape phenolic composition under commercial growing or postharvest conditions.

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]

Genetic study of wild grapevines in La Rioja region

Since the mid-1980s, several surveys have been carried out in La Rioja to search for populations of the sylvestris grapevine subspecies (Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sylvestris Gmelin). The banks of the Ebro River and its tributaries (Alhama, Cidacos, Leza, Iregua, Najerilla, Oja and Tirón rivers), as well as the surrounding vegetation of their valleys have been covered. So far, all the populations found are alluvial, forming part of the riparian vegetation of the Najerilla (the first reported population in La Rioja [1]), Iregua, and the vicinity of Oja valleys.

Aroma characterization of mold resistant base wines for sparkling wine produced in a warm-temperate area at two different altitudes

In a recent context where consumers pay an increasing attention to sustainability and eco-friendly aspects in the decision-making process, the use of the resistant varieties in the wine sector have returned to the attention. In this context, the use of mould-resistant grape varieties would be an opportunity for sparkling wine producers as it can reduced the pesticide utilization in grape management and hence production costs.
However, the use of the resistant varieties to produce the base wine may be strongly influenced due to its requirements for a particular balance between sugars and acidity to ensure the quality of the final product. In addition, the aromatic profile of base wine plays a crucial role in the perception of the quality of the sparkling wine.
