INFLUENCE OF CHITOSAN, ABSCISIC ACID AND BENZOTHIADIAZOLE TREATMENTS ON SAVVATIANO (VITIS VINIFERA L.) WINES VOLATILE COMPOSITION PROFILE

Abstract

In the last decades the use of bioestimulants in viticulture have been promoted as alternative to conven- tional pesticides. Moreover, as bioestimulants promote the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in grape berries, several studies had investigated their influence on the accumulation of phenolic com- pounds (Monteiro et al., 2022). However, few studies, so far, are focused on the accumulation of the vo- latile compounds and their impact on the produced wines (Giménez-Bañón et al., 2022; Gomez- Plaza et al., 2012; Ruiz Garcia et al., 2014).
This study was conducted in a single vineyard of white autochthonous grapevine variety Savvatia- no (Vitis vinifera L.) in Muses Valley (Askri, Viotia, Greece). Chitosan (CHT), Abscisic Acid (ABA) and Benzothiadiazole (BTH) were applied. The applications were performed at veraison stage, in a rando- mized complete block and grapes were harvested at their optimum technological maturity level. White wines vinification procedures were carried out (Miliordos et al., 2022) physiochemical parameters of must and wine, and wine aroma compounds were examined. Volatile compounds were analyzed using a gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrophotometric detector (Miliordos et al. 2022). Results were statistically evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA at the p ≤ 0.05 level) and principal component analysis (PCA). CHT treatment increased total terpenes, esters and monoterpenes concentration which may enhance the desirable aromas for Savvatiano wines. Moreover, ABA enhanced the concentration of total esters, while kept in lower levels higher alcohols than control wines related to unpleasant aromas. On the other hand, BTH kept in low levels monoterpenes and acetates, as well as concentration of acids (hexanoic acid, isobutyric, butyric, isovaleric) and alcohols were still in low levels compared to control wines and the CHT and ABA treated. Furthermore, these differences in the volatile compound levels could sensorially detected, by the sensory panel.
The application of biostimulants recorded promising results to enhance aroma profile of the produced white wines. More research on different Greek cultivars in different terroirs is needed in order to en- hance our knowledge regarding the effect of biostimulants on grape and wine quality. Funding : This research was co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund of theEuropean Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program ompetitiveness,Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call RESEARCH–CREATE–INNOVATE (project code: T1EDK- 04200 (MU-SA).

Beyond liking scores: the importance of the drinking experience to understand our consumers

The presentation will approach the understanding of wine consumers´ perception based on the experiential model suggested by Warell (2008). In this framework, wine consumption gives rise to a variety of experiences related to the perception, understanding, and judgment of the product. These multidimensional facets of the drinking experience can be explored by measuring affective, cognitive, and sensory responses of consumers, which are shown to be stable regardless of the social context.

IMPACT OF FINING WITH K-CARRAGEENAN, BENTONITE, AND CHITOSAN ON PROTEIN STABILITY AND MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS OF ALBARIÑO WHITE WINE PRODUCED WITH AND WITHOUT PRE-FERMENTATIVE SKIN MACERATION

Pre-fermentative skin maceration is a technique used in white wine production to enhance varietal aroma, but it can increase protein concentration, leading to protein instability and haze formation [1]. To prevent protein instability, wine producers typically use fining agents such as bentonite, before wine bottling, which can negatively impact sensory characteristics and produce waste [2,3]. The aim of this study was to understand the impact of alternative techniques such as the application of polysaccharides (k-carrageenan and chitosan) on protein stability and on the wine macromolecular composition.

MODULATION OF YEAST-DERIVED AROMA COMPOUNDS IN CHARDONNAY WINES USING ENCAPSULATED DIAMMONIUM PHOSPHATE TO CONTROL NUTRIENT RELEASE

Yeast-derived aroma compounds are the result of different and complex biochemical pathways that mainly occur during alcoholic fermentation. Many of them are related -but not limited- to the availability of nutrients in the fermentation medium and linked to nitrogen metabolism and biomass produced. Besides, the metabolic phase of yeast also regulates the expression of many enzymes involved in the formation of aroma active compounds. The work investigates the overall effect of continuous supplementation of nutrients during alcoholic fermentation of a grape must on the volatile composition of wines.

EVALUATING WINEMAKING APPLICATIONS OF ULTRAFILTRATION TECHNOLOGY

Ultrafiltration is a process that fractionates mixtures using semipermeable membranes, primarily on the basis of molecular weight. Depending on the nominal molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) specifications of the membrane, smaller molecules pass through the membrane into the ‘permeate’, while larger molecules are retained and concentrated in the ‘retentate’. This study investigated applications of ultrafiltration technology for enhanced wine quality and profitability. The key objective was to establish to what extent ultrafiltration could be used to manage phenolic compounds (associated with astringency or bitterness) and proteins (associated with haze formation) in white wine.

MICROFLUIDIC PLATFORM FOR SORTING YEAST CELLS ACCORDING TO THEIR MORPHOLOGY

In this work we briefly present a microfluidic device aiming to sort yeast cells according to their morphology. The technology is based upon microfluidic chips made out of Polydimethylsiloxane and glass using soft lithography processes and replica molding. The microfluidic device was used for encapsulating single yeast cells in liquid droplets containing growth medium. Liquid droplet containing yeast cells were sorted using a real time imaging and decision-making process.
