Influence of the malolactic fermentation on wine metabolomics or drastic metabolomics changes due to malolactic fermentation

Abstract

It is well known that lactic acid bacteria modify the wine volatile compound. However, very few data are available regarding metabolite changes that occurred during the malolactic fermentation (MLF). In order to have a clearer picture of the metabolic signature of the bacteria in wine during the MLF, we have analyzed the exometabolome before and after MLF of wine fermented with 6 different yeast strains and 2 different bacteria. To this purpose, metabolomics analyses were carried out by LC-TOF-MS. 

The PCA analyses of the metabolomics data clearly distinguish samples at the end of alcoholic fermentation from samples after malolactic fermentation and samples from co-inoculation. These results confirmed the impact of bacteria on wine metabolome but also underlined the fact that co-inoculation of bacteria with yeast in must does not result in the same wine than sequential inoculation, from a metabolite point of view. This result clearly indicates that both matrix (must or wine) and yeast bacteria interactions are responsible for the observed differences. A focus on the comparison of wine before and after malolactic fermentation conducted by the lactic acid bacteria VP41 revealed a clear cut difference between the wines as represented by PLS-DA. These results confirmed the drastic changes of the wines due to malolactic fermentation. Some of the compounds catabolised or synthesized by the bacteria during MLF allows to identify specific metabolic pathway involved during MLF such as for example glycosyl hydrolases, which convert flavonoid glycosides to the corresponding aglycones, and esterase, degrading methyl gallate, tannins, or phenolic acid ester.

Island and coastal vineyards in the context of climate change

Aim: The notion of “terroir” enables the attribution of distinctive characteristics to wines from the same region. Climate change raises issues about viticulture, especially the growth of the vines and even more importantly the economic situation of actual wine-growing regions (Schultz and Jones 2010; Quénol 2014). Several studies have addressed the impacts of climate change on viticulture in

Effect of pre-fermentative cold soaking and use of different enzymes on the chemical and sensory properties of Catarratto wines

The wine industry widely recognizes that early-harvested grapes or those with uneven ripeness at harvest can produce wines with an “unripe fruit” mouthfeel [1,2]. Despite this, it is still unknown which compounds cause these sensory flaws or the most effective winemaking techniques to address them.

Energy partitioning and functionality of photosystem II in water-stressed grapevines during heatwaves revealed by continuous measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence

The increased intensity and frequency of heatwaves, coupled with prolonged periods of drought, are a significant threat to viticulture worldwide. During these conditions the more exposed leaves can show visible symptoms of heat damage. We monitored the functionality of photosystem II (PSII) in the field to better understand the impact of heatwaves on canopy performance. A factorial experiment was established in summer 2023 using Shiraz grapevines in the Barossa valley of South Australia, involving water-stressed and well-watered vines.

Possible Reduction Method Of Volatile Acid Content And Polyphenols Of Tokaj Aszú Wines With The Aid Of Citosan Bactericid Wine-Treatments

The historical Tokaj region in northeast Hungary is a UNESCO World Heritage region since 2002 owning 5.500 ha vineyards. Produced from „noble rot” grapes, Tokaji Aszú is known as one of the oldest botrytized wines all over the world. Special microclimatic conditions (due to Bodrog and Tisza rivers, Indian summer), soil circumstances (clay, loess on volcanic bedrock) and grape-varieties (Furmint, Hárslevelű) of Tokaj-region offer favourable parameters to the formation of noble rot caused by Botrytis cinerea. The special metabolic activity of Botrytis results in noble rot grapes called “aszú” berries. The grapes undergo complex chemical modifications as the joint result of the enzymatic activity of Botrytis and the physical process of concentration.
