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.

STATISTICAL COMPARISON OF GROWTH PARAMETERS OF NINE BIOPROTECTION STRAINS IMPLEMENTED ON ARTIFICIALLY CONTAMINATED SYNTHETIC MUST

In recent years, consumer demand for products without chemical additives increased, becoming a priority for the wine sector. SO₂ is widely used for its multiple properties including antiseptics, antioxidants and antioxidasics and the strategy of bioprotection in winemaking represents now an alternative to this chemical additive. In oenology, results have highlighted the interest of bioprotection to limit the development of microorganisms like Hanseniaspora uvarum and thus reduce the doses of sulphite. Indeed, this species is considered because of its acetic acid and methyl butyl acetate production, the latter can cover the varietal character of wines.

WINE RACKING IN THE WINERY AND THE USE OF INERT GASES: CONTROL AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCESS

Atmospheric oxygen (O₂) generates oxidation in wines that affect their physicochemical and sensory evolution. The O₂ uptake in the different winemaking processes is generally considered to be negative for the sensory characteristics of white and rosé wines. Wine racking is a critical point of O₂ uptake, as the large surface area of the wine exposed during this operation and the inability to maintain an effective inert gas blanket over it.
The aim was to study the uptake of O₂ during the racking of a model wine as a reference and to compare with purging the destination tank with different inert gases.

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.

IMPACT OF MANNOPROTEIN N-GLYCOSYL PHOSPHORYLATION AND BRANCHING ON WINE POLYPHENOL INTERACTIONS WITH YEAST CELL WALLS

Yeast cell walls (CWs) may adsorb wine components with a significant impact on wine quality. When dealing with red wines, this adsorption is mainly related to physicochemical interactions between wine polyphenols and cell wall mannoproteins. However, mannoproteins are a heterogeneous family of complex peptidoglycans including long and highly branched N-linked oligosaccharides and short linear O-linked oligosaccharides, resulting in a huge structural diversity.

SENSORY EVALUATION OF WINE AROMA: SHOULD COLOR-DRIVEN DESCRIPTORS BE USED?

The vocabulary used to describe wine aroma is commonly organized according to color, raising the question of whether they reflect the reality of olfactory perception. Previous studies have assumed this convention of color-aroma matching, and have investigated color’s influence on the perception of aroma only in dyed white wine or in red wine from particular places of origin. Here 48 white and red varietal wines from around the world were evaluated in black glasses then in clear glasses by a panel of wine experts, who gave intensity ratings for aroma attributes commonly used by wine professionals. In black glasses, aromas conventionally associated with white wine were perceived in the red wines, and vice versa.
