THE FLAVANOL PROFILE OF SKIN, SEED, WINES, AND POMACE ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF EACH TYPOLOGY AND CONTRIBUTES TO UNDERSTAND THE FLAVAN- 3-OLS EXTRACTION DURING RED WINEMAKING

Abstract

Wine flavanols are extracted from grape skin and seeds along red winemaking. Potentially, eight flavan-3-ol subunits may be present as monomers or as tannins constituents, being these catechin, epicathechin, gallocatechin, epigallocatechin end the gallates of the mentioned units. In this work the flavanol profiles of grape skins and seeds before (grapes) and after (pomace) red winemaking were studied together with the one in the corresponding wines. The trials were made over two vintages in Vitis vinifera cv. Tannat, Syrah and Marselan from Uruguay. A total of twenty wines were made under the same experimental conditions. The flavanol fractions were isolated from the samples using C18 solid phase extraction cartridges. A LC-MS system was used for analysis, composed by an HPLC couples to a mass spectroscopy system (triple-quadrupole ESI-MS/MS). Catechin and epicatechin registered the higher relative abundance in all typologies as expected. In the skins, the percentage of catechin was significantly higher than that of epicatechin while the opposite was observed in the seeds. In agreement with literature, the relative proportion of gallates was much higher in the seed than in the skins, while pro-dephinidins (PD%) exceeded 10% in skins and were found at traces levels in seeds. There were no differences among cultivars in the skins flavanol profile, but in the seeds, Marselan had a characteristic high proportion of catechin that almost matched that of epicatechin. Moreover, Tannat had higher proportion of epicatechin-gallate than catechin-gallate, while the opposite was registered in Syrah and Marselan. The seed-pomace flavan-3-ol monomers profile matched that of the seeds in the three-cultivar studied, showing that all compounds were extracted at the same rate along maceration. Nevertheless, the skin-pomace had a much higher proportion of epicatechin and of gallates that observed in skins, and a much lower of PD. These differences were of higher magnitude in the flavan-3-ol monomers profile, and in Marselan, which wines had a much higher contribution of flavanols from the seeds (observed as low PD% and high of gallates and epicatechin) than Tannat and Syrah. In Syrah and Tannat wines, the PD% was just slightly lower than in skins, while in Marselan they were much lower. Thus, skins adsorb fla-vanols released from seeds during maceration, while the trihydroxylated prodelphinidin monomers are the more easily extracted flavanols from skins.

UNRAVELING THE CHEMICAL MECHANISM OF MND FORMATION IN RED WINE DURING BOTTLE AGING : IDENTIFICATION OF A NEW GLUCOSYLATED HYDROXYKETONE PRO-PRECURSOR

During bottle aging, the development of wine aroma through low and gradual oxygen exposure is often positive in red wines, but can be unfavorable in many cases, resulting in a rapid loss of fresh, fruity flavors. Prematurely aged wines are marked by intense prune and fig aromatic nuances that dominate the desirable bouquet achieved through aging (Pons et al., 2013). This aromatic defect, in part, is caused by the presence of 3-methyl-2,4-nonanedione (MND). MND content was shown to be lower in nonoxidized red wines and higher in oxidized red wines, which systematically exceeds the odor detection threshold (62 ng/L).

VOLATILE COMPOSITION OF WINES USING A GC/TOFMS: HS-SPME VS MICRO LLE AS SAMPLE PREPARATION METHODOLOGY

Wine aroma analysis can be done by sensorial or instrumental analysis, the latter involving several me-thodologies based on olfactometric detection, electronic noses or gas chromatography. Gas Chromatography has been widely used for the study of the volatile composition of wines and depending on the detection system coupled to the chromatographic system, quantification and identification of individual compounds can be achieved.

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE AROMA PROFILE OF COMMERCIAL PROSECCO SPARKLING WINES

The typicality of a wine, as well as its aromatic identity, are attributes that are highly sought after and requested by the current market. It is therefore of considerable technological interest to investigate the aromatic aspects of specific wines and to identify the odorous substances involved.In this thesis work, the characterization of the aromatic composition of Prosecco wines available on the market with a price range between 7 and 13 euros was carried out. These wines came from three different areas of origin such as Valdobbiadene, Asolo and Treviso.

NEUROPROTECTIVE AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES OF HYDROXYTYROSOL: A PROMISING BIOACTIVE COMPONENT OF WINE

Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a phenolic compound present in olives, virgin olive oil and wine. HT has attracted great scientific interest due to its biological activities which have been related with the ortho-dihydroxy conformation in the aromatic ring. In white and red wines, HT has been detected at concentrations ranging from 0.28 to 9.6 mg/L and its occurrence has been closely related with yeast metabolism of aromatic amino acids by Ehrlich pathway during alcoholic fermentation. One of the most promising properties of this compound is the neuroprotective activity against pathological mechanisms related with neurode-generative disorders including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

BORDEAUX RED WINES WITHOUT ADDED SULFITES SPECIFICITIES: COMPOSITIONAL AND SENSORY APPROACHES TOWARDS HIGHLIGHTING AND EXPLAI-NING THEIR SPECIFIC FRUITINESS AND COOLNESS

With the development of naturality expectations, wines produced without any addition of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) become very popular for consumers and such wines are increasingly present on the market. Recent studies also showed that Bordeaux red wines without added SO₂ could be differentiated from a sensory point of view from similar wines produced with SO₂¹. Thus, the aim of the current study was to characterize from a sensory point of view, specific aromas of wines without added SO₂ and to identify compounds involved.
