THE POTENTIAL USE OF SOLUBLE POLYSACCHARIDES TO PREVENT THE OXIDATION OF ROSÉ WINES

Abstract

Lately, rosé wine is rapidly increasing its popularity worldwide. Short-time macerations with the red skin of the grapes cause the partial extraction of anthocyanins, which are responsible for the pinkish-salmon hue of rosé wines. However, the low quantity of tannins (antioxidants) and richness in phenolic acids, which can be easily oxidized into yellowish pigments, tend to predispose rosé wines to an undesirable browning. Although the use of SO₂ for the prevention of oxidation is highly extended, this practice is expected to be reduced. Therefore, the search for alternative oenological adjuvants that prevent the oxidation and browning of rosé wines is highly desired. Thus, the aim of this work is to assess the effect of the addition of soluble polysaccharides, issued from grape pomace on the oxidation process. To do this, rosé wines were made using grapes from V. vinifera cv Syrah and employing two different maceration times: short (S, 10 min) and long (L, 2 hours).

Thus, two different wines were elaborated (SYS and SYL). Soluble polysaccharides were extracted, purified and characterized (by means of HPLC-DAD-MS and HPLC-RID) from white grape pomace and added to the rosé wines. Then, wines were submitted to an oxidation process by reaching oxygen saturation level in the solution. Wines’ phenolic composition was studied before the oxidation process and then its evolution was monitored.

The extract of polysaccharides presented three main fractions: F1 (25%) with a MW of 104 kDa; F2 (13%) with a MW of 8 kDa and F3 (62%) with a MW of 2 kDa. The polysaccharide extract was analysed by HPLC-DAD-MS after acid hydrolysis and a chemical modification reaction, in order to obtain a derivative of the monosaccharide which could be detected by UV. The main constitutive monosaccharide units detected were: galacturonic acid (26.3%), arabinose (26.2%), galactose (16%), xylose (11.4%), glucose (9.0%), mannose (6.6%), rhamnose (3.2%) and glucuronic acid (1.3%).

Two antioxidant test (FRAP and ABTS) were performed on the polysaccharide extract for the purpose of measuring its potential use as an antioxidant. Phenolic composition was analysed by HPLC-DAD-MS during the duration of the study (60 days).

Results allowed us to assess the importance of polysaccharide addition to modify the ability of rosé wines to resist oxidation, evaluating the possible application of a natural polysaccharide obtained from wine’s by-product as an oenological adjuvant.

FLOW CYTOMETRY, A POWERFUL AND SUSTAINABLE METHOD WITH MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS IN ENOLOGY

Flow cytometry (FCM) is a powerful technique allowing the detection, characterization and quantification of microbial populations in different fields of application (medical environment, food industry, enology, etc.). Depending on the fluorescent markers and specific probes used, FCM provides information on the physiological state of the cell and allows the quantification of a microorganism of interest within a mixed population. For 15 years, the enological sector has shown growing interest in this technique, which is now used to determine the populations present (of interest or spoilage) and the physiological state of microorganisms at the different stages of winemaking.

IMPACT OF CLIMATIC ZONES ON THE AROMATIC PROFILE OF CORVINA WINES IN THE VALPOLICELLA REGION

In Italy, in the past two decades, the rate of temperature increases (0.0369 °C per year) was slightly higher compared to the world average (0.0313 °C per year). It has also been indicated that the number and intensity of heat waves have increased considerably in the last decades. (IEA, 2022). Viticultural zones can be classified with climatic indexes. Huglin’s index (HI) considers the temperature in a definite area and has been considered as reliable to evaluate the thermal suitability for winegrape production (Zhang et al., 2023).

EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF S. CEREVISIAE MANNOPROTEINS ON WINE ASTRINGENCY AND THE IMPACT OF THEIR POLYSACCHARIDE STRUCTURE

Mannoproteins (MPs) are proteoglycans from the outmost layer of yeast cell walls released into wine during alcoholic fermentation and ageing on lees processes. The use of commercial preparations of mannoproteins as additives to improve wine stability with regards to the crystallization of tartaric salts and to prevent protein haze in the case of white and rosé wines is authorized by the OIV.
Regarding red wines and polyphenols, mannoproteins are described as able to improve their colloidal stability and modulate the astringent effect of condensed tannins. The latter interact with salivary proteins forming insoluble aggregates that cause a loss of lubrication in the mouth and promote a drying and puckering sensation. However, neither the interaction mechanisms involved in mannoproteins capacity to impact astringency nor the structure-function relationships related to this property are fully understood.

FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY IN MONITORING THE WINE PRODUCTION

The complexity of the wine matrix makes the monitoring of the winemaking process crucial. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) along with chemometrics is considered an effective analytical tool combining good accuracy, robustness, high sample throughput, and “green character”. Portable and non-portable FTIR devices are already used by the wine industry for routine analysis. However, the analytical calibrations need to be enriched, and some others are still waiting to be thoroughly developed.
