CHARACTERIZATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF YEAST BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES RELEASED DURING FERMENTATION AND AUTOLYSIS IN MODEL WINE

Abstract

Aging wine on lees is a consolidated practice during which some yeast components (e.g., polysaccha-rides, proteins, peptides) are released and solubilized in wine thus, affecting its stability and quality. Apart from the widely studied mannoproteins, the role of other yeast components in modulating wine characteristics is still scarce. Wine peptides have been studied for their contribution to taste, antioxi-dant, and antihypertensive potentials. However, the peptides detected in wine can be influenced by the interaction between yeasts and grape components. Therefore, to study the actual contribution of yeasts to the presence of wine peptides, the concentration and profile of peptides released by yeasts during and after fermentation was studied in model conditions.

A synthetic must, prepared replacing amino acids with NH4Cl as the sole nitrogen source, was inoculated with an oenological Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain. The resulting synthetic wine was sampled weekly over the first month, and monthly in the following five months. After centrifugation, each sample was ultrafiltered (3 kDa MWCO), and the peptides on the filtrate were quantified and separated by RP-HPLC. The peptides present in the 7 (end of fermentation) – and 120-day samples, were characterized by LC-MS/MS, thus determining their sequence and the putative origin. Moreover, their potential bioactivity was studied in silico using the BIOPEP Database.

Results showed that the total concentration of peptides increased during the first two weeks before pla-teauing to ≃ 0.91 g/L. Nevertheless, the number of peptides (2263 at day 7; 1978 at day 120) and the amino acid sequence differed over time. Within the released peptides, in silico analysis revealed the presence of potential bioactive sequences in the samples taken at the end of fermentation and collected after 120 days of lees aging. The vast majority (≃ 95%) of the peptides showed a potential antihyperten-sive activity.

Results indicate that yeasts abundantly release different peptides during and after the alcoholic fermen-tation due to the presence of yeast cells. The high peptide concentration, variety, and bioactive potential reported here deserve further investigation to assess the role of this fraction on wine quality and, pos-sibly, health effects.

EXTRACTIBLE COMPOUNDS FROM MICROAGGLOMERATED CORK STOPPERS

After bottling, the wine continues to evolve during storage. The choice of the stopper is an important factor in this evolution. In addition to the oxygen permeability of the closure, the migration of stopper compounds into the wine can also have an impact on the wine organoleptic properties. Many studies have shown that transfers of volatile compounds from the stoppers into the wine can happen depending on the type of closure used (1). Moreover, when cork-made stoppers are used, the migration of phenolic compounds from the stopper into the wine can also occur (2, 3).

BORDEAUX RED WINES WITHOUT ADDED SULFITES SPECIFICITIES: COMPOSITIONAL AND SENSORY APPROACHES TOWARDS HIGHLIGHTING AND EXPLAI-NING THEIR SPECIFIC FRUITINESS AND COOLNESS

With the development of naturality expectations, wines produced without any addition of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) become very popular for consumers and such wines are increasingly present on the market. Recent studies also showed that Bordeaux red wines without added SO₂ could be differentiated from a sensory point of view from similar wines produced with SO₂¹. Thus, the aim of the current study was to characterize from a sensory point of view, specific aromas of wines without added SO₂ and to identify compounds involved.

THE ODORIFEROUS VOLATILE CHEMICALS BEHIND THE OXIDATIVE AROMA DEGRADATION OF SPANISH RED WINES

It is a well-established fact that premature oxidation is noxious for wine aromatic quality and longevity. Although some oxidation-related aroma molecules have been previously identified, there are not works carrying out systematic research about the changes in the profiles of odour-active volatiles during wine oxidation.

SUB-CRITICAL WATER: AN ORIGINAL PROCESS TO EXTRACT ANTIOXIDANTS COMPOUNDS OF WINE LEES

Wine lees are quantitatively the second most important wine by-product after grape stems and marc [1]. In order to recycle, distilleries recovered ethanol and tartaric acid contained in wine lees but yeast biomass is often unused. It has already been demonstrated that this yeast biomass could be upcycled to produce yeast extracts of interest for wine chemical stabilization [2]. In addition, it is well known that lees, during aging, release compounds that preserve wine from oxidation.

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

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.
