SHIRAZ FLAVONOID EXTRACTABILITY IMPACTED BY HIGH AND EXTREME HIGH TEMPERATURES

Abstract

Climate change is leading to an increase in average temperature and in the severity and occurrence of heatwaves, and is already disrupting grapevine phenology. In Australia, with the evolution of the weather of grape growing regions that are already warm and hot, berry composition including flavonoids, for which biosynthesis depends on bunch microclimate, are expected to be impacted [1]. These compounds, such as anthocyanins and tannins, contribute substantially to grape and wine quality. The goal of this research was to determine how flavonoid extraction is impacted when bunches are ex-posed to high (>35 °C) and extreme high (>45 °C) temperatures during berry development and maturity. The sole effect of temperature was investigated on well-irrigated potted Shiraz grapevines grown in a glasshouse, where either the whole vine or bunches-only were heated using fans. For both experiments, berries were sampled at harvest, peeled, ground and total flavonoids were extracted using 60% acetone [2]. Two additional assays evaluated the potential temperature impact on subsequent wine composition using wine-like extraction (15% ethanol) [3] or micro-scale winemaking. Detailed tannin composition was primarily determined by LC-MS/MS after phloroglucinolysis [2], with complementary total tannin concentration (methyl cellulose precipitable assay). Secondary metabolites such as phenolic acid and anthocyanins were also analyzed.

The present work showed that short spells of high temperature may not impact on skin and seed tannin extractability when assessed on visually undamaged berries by harvest. Indeed, while total skin tannin concentrations, extracted with 60% acetone, were clearly reduced by a rise of temperature around véraison, skin extractable tannin (15% ethanol) and seed tannin concentrations were not impacted. In damaged berries at harvest, skin tannins were dramatically reduced while seed tannins were mostly preserved. Wine quality, made with a mix of heat-damaged and undamaged berries, was significantly reduced when about 20% (by mass) of the berries were visually damaged and necrotic, corresponding to about 50% of damaged berries (in number). Maintaining wine quality under a changing climate with more frequent extreme events leading to heat stress and/or water stress is challenging. However, this study showed that the impact of heatwaves in the vineyard may be compensated by a better extraction during winemaking and require further investigations at winery scales.

NEW METHOD FOR THE QUANTIFICATION OF CONDENSED TANNINS AND OTHER WINE PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS USING THE AUTOMATED BIOSYSTEMS SPICA ANALIZER

Wine phenolic compounds are important secondary metabolites in enology due to their antioxidant and nutraceutical properties, and their role in the development of color, taste, and protection of wine from oxidation and spoilage. Tannins are valuable phenolic compounds that contribute significantly to these wine properties, especially in mouthfeel characteristics; however, tannin determination remains a significant challenge, with manual and time-consuming methods or complex methodologies. The purpose of this study is to propose a novel method for quantifying condensed tannins in finished wine products.

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.

YEAST LEES OBTAINED AFTER STARMERELLA BACILLARIS FERMENTATION AS A SOURCE OF POTENTIAL COMPOUNDS TO IMPROVE SUSTAINABILITY IN WINE- MAKING

The yeast residue left over after wine-making, known as wine yeast lees, is a source of various compounds that are of interest for wine and food industry. In winemaking, yeast-derived glycocompounds and proteins represent an example of circular economy approach since they have been proven to reduce the need for bentonite and animal-based fining agents. This leads to a reduced environmental impact in the stabilization and fining processes in winemaking. (de Iseppi et al., 2020, 2021).

AROMA ASSESSMENT OF COMMERCIAL SFORZATO DI VALTELLINA WINES BYINSTRUMENTAL AND SENSORY METHODOLOGIES

Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG is a special dry red wine produced from partially dehydrated Nebbiolo wine-grapes growing in the Rhaetian Alps valley of Valtellina (Lombardy, Italy). Valtellina terraced vineyards are located at an altitude of 350–800 m according to ‘heroic’ viticulture on steep slopes. The harvested grape bunches are naturally dehydrated indoors, where a slow and continuous withering occurs (about 20% w/w of weight loss), until at least 1st December when the grapes reach the desired sugar content and can be processed following a normal winemaking with maceration.

VOLATILE AND GLYCOSYLATED MARKERS OF SMOKE IMPACT: EVOLUTION IN BOTTLED WINE

Smoke impact in wines is caused by a wide range of volatile phenols found in wildfire smoke. These compounds are absorbed and accumulate in berries, where they may also become glycosylated. Both volatile and glycosylated forms eventually end up in wine where they can cause off-flavors. The impact on wine aroma is mainly attributed to volatile phenols, while in-mouth hydrolysis of glycosylated forms may be responsible for long-lasting “ashy” aftertastes (1).
