NEW PLANT BIOPOLYMERS FOR THE COLLOIDAL STABILITY OF THE COLORING MATTER OF RED WINES

Abstract

The color as well as the “clarity” of red wines are ones of the qualities required by the consumers. Red wines must have colloidal stability from its bottling to its consumption. The supplementation of red wines with additives, and especially Acacia senegal gum, contributes to its organoleptic properties such as the colloidal stabilization of the coloring matter. In a global perspective of limitation of additives in the field of enology, one of the objectives is notably (i) to reduce the use of additives in wines, by their num- ber and/or their quantity, and (ii) to favor the use of natural additives while preserving the organoleptic and sensory qualities of wines.

The aim of this work is to identify some plant biopolymers, other than Acacia senegal gum, allowing the colloidal stability of the coloring matter of red wines, and satisfying the technical (solubility and non-clogging) and sensory requirements of wine making. The selected plant biopolymers should also significantly improve the coloring matter colloidal stability.

Nine natural different plant biopolymers were used in this study. Their biochemical composition (protein and carbohydrate contents, amino acids and sugar compositions) and structural properties (Molar mass, polydispersity and intrinsic viscosity) were characterized. The colloidal stability proper- ties of all biopolymers were evaluated in comparison to Acacia senegal gum on three different matrices: a mineral-hydro-alcoholic solution corresponding to the test recommended by the oenological codex (COEI-1-GOMARA:2000), a hydro-alcoholic-grape marc solution, and unstable red wines.

The use of nine natural different plant biopolymers allowed to identify their intrinsic biochemical and structural properties essential for the colloidal stability of the coloring mater. Among these nine plant biopolymers, one of them presents interesting colloidal stabilization properties towards the coloring matter. This plant biopolymer possesses superior colloidal stability properties than Acacia senegal gum and good clogging index. Its quantity in red wines can be reduced between 5 and 10 while maintaining the colloidal stability of the coloring matter and allowing the filtration of red wines. This increased effi- ciency towards the colloidal stability of the coloring is correlated to the intrinsic biochemical and struc- tural properties of this exudate. This natural exudate could therefore be of interest for its use in enology.

IMPACT OF RHIZOPUS AND BOTRYTIS ON WINE FOAMING PROPERTIES

A lot of work has been done on the impact of Botrytis on the foam of sparkling wines. This work often concerns wines produced in cool regions, where Botrytis is the dominant fungal pathogen. However, in southern countries such as Spain, in particularly hot years such as 2022, the majority fungal pathogen is sometimes Rhizopus. Like Botrytis, Rhizopus is a fungus that produces an aspartic protease.

PHOTOCHEMICAL DEGRADATION OF TRYPTOPHAN IN MODEL WINE: IMPACT OF HEAVY METALS AND OXYGEN ON 2-AMINOACETOPHENONE FORMATION

The wine industry worldwide faces more and more challenges due to climate change, such as increased dryness in some areas, water stress, sunburn and early harvesting during hot summer temperatures¹. One of the resulting problems for the wine quality might be a higher prevalence of the untypical aging off-flavor (ATA)². A substance, which Rapp and Versini made responsible for ATA, is the 2-aminoace-tophenone (2-AAP)³. 2-AAP in wine causes a naphthalene, wet towels, wet wool, acacia flower or just a soapy note⁴.

PRODUCTION OF A FUNCTIONAL BEVERAGE FROM WINEMAKING BY-PRODUCTS: A NEW WAY OF VALORISATION

In the challenge of transforming waste into useful products that can be re-used in a circular economy perspective, winery by-products can be considered as a source of potentially bioactive molecules such as polyphenols. The wine industry generates each year 20 million tons of by-products. Kombucha fermentation is an ancestral process which allow to increase the biological properties of tea by the action of a microbial consortium formed by yeasts and bacteria called SCOBY. It belongs to the field of healthy food for which the interest of consumers is growing. The objective of this work was to propose a new functional beverage made from winemaking by-products fermented by a Kombucha SCOBY.

EFFECTS OF WINEMAKING FACTORS AND AGEING ON THE POLYPHENOLIC AND COLORIMETRIC PROFILES IN RED WINES PRONE TO COLOUR INSTABILITY

The effects of (A) grape freezing, and (B) malolactic fermentation, have been evaluated on the chemical and colorimetric profiles of red wines from Schiava grossa cv. grapes, thus prone to colour instability. The aim was to observe if specific variables (e.g. grape freezing) could improve the extraction and stability of pigments. The samples were studied from musts up to twelve months in bottle. The study was conducted with independent parallel micro-vinifications (12 = 4 theses x 3 replicates) under strictly-controlled conditions.
