ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY OF INACTIVATED NON-SACCHAROMYCES YEASTS

Abstract

The importance of the non-Saccharomyces yeasts (NSY) in winemaking has been extensively reviewed in the past for their aromatic or bioprotective capacity while, recently their antioxidant/antiradical potential has emerged under winemaking conditions. In the literature the antioxidant potential of NSY was solely explored through their capacity to improve glutathione (GSH) content during alcoholic fermentation [1], while more and more studies pointed out the activity of the non-glutathione soluble fraction released by yeasts [2].

Our study proposed to combine untargeted UHPLC-Q-ToF MS based metabolomic analysis with DPPH antiradical activity [3] to explore the antioxidant capacity of compounds released by inactivated non-Saccharomyces yeast (INSY) in wine like model solution. In our experimental plan, 3 INSY species were compared to one inactivated Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (ISY) selected for its high antioxidant capacity [4]. In that way, both the species and the production process were evaluated for their impact on the metabolic fingerprint and the antioxidant capacity. Then, unsupervised analysis has been used to extract ions correlated with the antioxidant capacity of the INSY.

Our results show that, all the INSY can accumulate GSH during the specific production process with yields ranging from +170% to +360% compared to the corresponding classical production process. Among the tested INSYs, one presenting equivalent antioxidant capacity to the control ISY while was 4 times less concentrated in GSH (4.73+/-0.09 mg/g against 20.95+/-0.34 mg/g, respectively). The principal component analysis of the 3511 ions detected by UHPLC-Q-ToF MS clearly grouped INSY by species, independently of the production process. 73 specific ions presenting strong and significant spearman correlation (rho < -0.6, p-value < 0.05) with the DPPH scores, clustered the most antioxidant INSY and the control Saccharomyces in different groups, indicating that the antioxidant capacity of these two products should be driven by different pools of compounds.

These results are very valuable for future research perspectives while they point out that, first, GSH alone is not relevant to explain the antioxidant capacity of INSY soluble fraction and other more reactive compounds must be considered. Second, they support the fact that INSY antioxidant capacity is essentially driven by a specie specific metabolism and opens an avenue for the selection new species with great enological potential.

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.

THE FLAVANOL PROFILE OF SKIN, SEED, WINES, AND POMACE ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF EACH TYPOLOGY AND CONTRIBUTES TO UNDERSTAND THE FLAVAN- 3-OLS EXTRACTION DURING RED WINEMAKING

Wine flavanols are extracted from grape skin and seeds along red winemaking. Potentially, eight flavan-3-ol subunits may be present as monomers or as tannins constituents, being these catechin, epicathechin, gallocatechin, epigallocatechin end the gallates of the mentioned units. In this work the flavanol profiles of grape skins and seeds before (grapes) and after (pomace) red winemaking were studied together with the one in the corresponding wines. The trials were made over two vintages in Vitis vinifera cv. Tannat, Syrah and Marselan from Uruguay.

UNTARGETED METABOLOMICS ANALYSES TO IDENTIFY A NEW SWEET COMPOUND RELEASED DURING POST-FERMENTATION MACERATION OF WINE

The gustatory balance of dry wines is centered on three flavors, sourness, bitterness and sweetness. Even if certain compounds were already identified as contributing to sweetness, some taste modifications remain largely unexplained1,2. Some empirical observations combined with sensory analyzes have shown that an increase of wine sweetness occurs during post-fermentation maceration³. This step is a key stage of red winemaking during which the juice is left in contact with the marc, that contains the solid parts of the grape (seeds, skins and sometimes stems). This work aimed to identify a new taste-active compound that contributes to this gain of sweetness.

TARTARIC STABILIZATION MAY AFFECT THE COLOR AND POLYPHENOLIC COMPOSITION OF TANNAT RED WINES FROM URUGUAY

Tartrate precipitation affects the properties of wines, due to the formation of crystals that cause turbidity, even after being bottled. The forced tartaric stabilization is carried out frequently for young wines, through various physicochemical procedures. The traditional treatment for tartaric stabilization is refrigeration, but it can have a negative effect on wine’s sensory properties, and particularly on the color of red wines. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different tartaric stabilization options on the color and phenolic composition of Tannat red wines from Uruguay.
