When organic chemistry contributes to the understanding of metabolism mechanisms

Abstract

Many compounds of interest in wine are difficult to analyze since they are present in very small quantities or they are unstable. The need for reliable data led scientists to develop complex method in order to overcome the analytical difficulties and provide accurate quantitative data for grape or wine characterization.

For 10 years, we developed several chemical strategies to obtain analytical standards either as labelled analogues or as diastereomers to develop SIDA and DIDA analytical methods, respectively. These quantification methods afforded accurate and reliable results by suppressing analytical bias due to sample preparation. Several examples will be presented from deuterated analogues: varietal thiols [1], thiol precursors [2], Ochratoxin A [3], and diastereoisomers: Ochratoxin A [4] and hydroxycinnamic acids [5].

Another interesting application based on synthetic compounds lies in their possible exploitation as tracers. Indeed, the scale-up and optimization of chemical syntheses from μg to mg levels provided us with substantial amounts of molecules that could be used in metabolism studies. For example, we recently used labelled thiol precursors as tracers in Sauvignon Blanc musts for metabolism studies. Degradation of such tracers was monitored to highlight several key interconversion mechanisms and bring new elements in varietal thiol biogenesis knowledge [6]. In these applications, the choice of the labelling position (for Ochratoxin A for instance) or multilabelling possibilies (for thiol precursors) offer future opportunity to investigate detoxification process or to obtain insight in the metabolism of aroma precursors, respectively.

Significance of factors making Riesling an iconic grape variety

Riesling is the iconic grape variety of Germany and accounts for 23% of the German viticulture acreage, which comprises 45% of the worldwide Riesling plantings. Riesling wines offer a wide array of styles from crisp sparkling wines to highly concentrated and sweet Trockenbeerenauslese or Icewines. However, its thin berry skin makes Riesling more vulnerable to detrimental environmental threats than other white wine varieties.

Winemaking techniques and wine tasting methods at the end of the Middle Ages

Les pratiques de vinification et de dégustation du vin sont souvent perçues, à travers un discours marketing très puissant, sous l’angle d’une tradition millénaire qui perdure depuis le Moyen Âge. En Bourgogne, il est courant de rattacher les racines de ces pratiques à l’activité des institutions ecclésiastiques qui possédaient d
