HOW OXYGEN CONSUMPTION INFLUENCES RED WINES VOLTAMMETRIC PROFILE

Abstract

Phenolic compounds play a central role in sensory characteristics of wine, such as colour, mouthfeel, flavour and determine its shelf life. Furthermore, the major non-enzymatic wine oxidation process is due to the catalytic oxidation of phenols in quinones. Due their importance, during the years have been developed different analytical methods to monitor the concentration of phenols in wine, such as Folin-Ciocalteu method, spectrophotometric techniques and HPLC. These methods can also be used to follow some oxidation-related chemical transformations. However, these methods are complex, expensive and time consuming, thus not affordable for most small winery. Consequently, the development of several techniques that are faster, cheaper and user-friendly are currently of great interest. Among these, voltammetry has shown to be able to discriminate well wines according to their chemical composition, in particular in relationship to phenolic compounds. Aims: Our work aimed to understand the effect of oxygenation on voltammetric signals of wines. Material and Methods: DIfferent commercial red wines purchased from a local stores have been used in this study. The experimental protocol involved oxygenation of the wines in a 1 L bottle by hand shaking until the desired oxygen level was reached. Three level of oxygenation were chosen: 1.5 (TA), 5 (TB) and 7 mg/L O₂ (TC). Measures of oxygen have been carried out with a portable oximeter. The oxygenated wine was placed in 125 ml glass vials fitted with an oxygen sensor, filled without leaving any headspace and closed with sealing wax in order to not have oxygen exchanges with the outside. Electrochimical measurements were performed with a with a potentiostat using disposable screen- printed sensors in a three-electrode arrangement. Total polyphenols, anthocyanins, free and total SO₂ measurements were carried out using a multiparametric analyser and the dedicated kit. For colour de- termination were measured the absorbances at wavelengths 420, 520 and 620. The measures to determine the oxygen kinetic consumption were performed every 24 for hours. At the same time were carried out analysis with the multiparametric analyser and for colour determination. Results: Red wine voltammograms were impacted by oxygenation, with several voltametric features showing variation in profile and peak intensity according to the level of oxygen consumption. Different signal treatments strategies were applied to highlight the regions of the voltammograms mostly affected by oxidation, in particular through the use of derivative voltammetry.

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.

IMPACT OF GRAPE-ASSOCIATED MOLDS IN FRESH MUSHROOM AROMA PRODUCTION

Mycobiota encountered from vine to wine is a complex and diversified ecosystem that may impact grape quality at harvest and the sensorial properties of wines, thus leading to off-flavors [1-3]. Among known off-flavors in wine, fresh mushroom aroma (FMA) has been linked to some mold species, naturally pre-sent on grapes, producing specific volatile organic compounds (VOC) [4-5]. The most well-known are 1-octen-3-ol and 1-octen-3-one, although many other VOC are likely involved. To better understand the FMA defect, biotic and abiotic factors impacting growth kinetics and VOC production of selected fungal species in must media and on grapes were studied.

OPTIMIZATION, VALIDATION AND APPLICATION OF THE EPR SPIN-TRAPPING TECHNIQUE TO THE DETECTION OF FREE RADICALS IN CHARDONNAY WINES

The aging potential of Burgundy chardonnay wines is considered as quality indicator. However, some of them exhibit higher oxidative sensitivity and premature oxidative aging symptoms, which are potentially induced by no-enzymatic oxidation such as Fenton-type reaction (Danilewicz, 2003). This chemical mechanism involves the action of transition metal, native phenolic compounds and oxygen which promote the generation of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl radicals (OH) or 1-hydroxyethyl radicals (1-HER) from oxidation of ethanol. Such mechanism is involved in the radical oxidation occurring during bottle aging. According to Elias et al.,(2009a), the 1-HER is the most abundant radical in forced oxidation treated wines. Consequently, understanding its evolution kinetic in dry white wines is of great importance.

POTENTIAL OF PEPTIDASES FOR AVOIDING PROTEIN HAZES IN MUST AND WINE

Haze formation in wine during transportation and storage is an important issue for winemakers, since turbid wines are unacceptable for sale. Such haze often results from aggregation of unstable grape proteinaceous colloids. To date, foreseeably unstable wines need to be treated with bentonite to remove these, while excessive quantities, which are often required, affect the wine volume and quality (Cosme et al. 2020). One solution to avoid these drawbacks might be the use of peptidases. Marangon et al. (2012) reported that Aspergillopepsins I and II were able to hydrolyse the respective haze-relevant proteins in combination with a flash pasteurisation. In 2021, the OIV approved this enzymatic treatment for wine stabilisation (OIV-OENO 541A and 541B).
