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.

THE ROLE OF CELL WALL POLYSACCHARIDES IN THE EXTRACTION OF ANTHOCYANINS AND TANNINS: RESULTS, PERSPECTIVES OF A MORE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION

The composition of grape berry cell walls was studied on two grape varieties, two years and two maturation levels at the same time as the extraction of anthocyanins and tannins. The chemical composition of skins, seeds, and pulps, focused on polyphenols and polysaccharides, was compared to the chemical composition in polyphenols after extraction from the skins in model solutions or after wine making of the berries. Polyphenols were mainly characterized by UPLC-MS and HPLC-SEC. Polysaccharides were characterized by analysis of the neutral sugar compositions, and also by the CoMPP (comprehensive micropolymer profiling) analysis, a new method which targets the functional groups of cell wall polysaccharides.

DETERMINATION OF FREE AMINO ACIDS, AMINO ACID POTENTIAL AND PROTEASE ACTIVITY IN THE LEES AND STILL WINES OF CHAMPAGNE

Prior to winemaking, organic or mineral nitrogen compound concentrations are usually measured in the vineyard and in grape musts. These indicators facilitate vine cultivation decisions, usually through yield or vigor. During vinification, yeast and bacteria metabolize nitrogen compounds in the musts in order to generate biomass. After fermentation, the microorganisms rerelease a part of this nitrogen as soluble compounds into the wines. Another part remains bound in the lees and can be lost during racking. The must’s natural nitrogen quantities, additional supplements during fermentation, and lees contact management enhance the release of nitrogen compounds to the wines. During ageing these nitrogen compounds – primarily the amino acids – are implicated in the generation of odorous compounds such as heterocycles(1).

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.

Influence of agrophotovoltaic on vine and must in a cool climate

The current energy crisis means that interest in agrophotovoltaics has increased significantly. The reason behind this is that the system aims to combine agricultural production with energy production. During the three-year period from 2020 to 2022, the effects of photovoltaic panels on the vine, the yield and the quality of the must were studied in Walenstadt in northern Switzerland, an area with a cool, humid climate. 65 Pinot noir vines were planted in the 160m2 study area. Because of the large edge effects, only 3 repetitions with 4 vines each could be created. A significantly lower leaf infestation by Plasmopara viticola was observed among the panels in each of the three years.
