EFFECT OF MANNOPROTEIN-RICH EXTRACTS FROM WINE LEES ON PHENOLICCOMPOSITION AND COLOUR OF RED WINE

Abstract

In 2022, wine production was estimated at around 260 million hl. This high production rate implies to generate a large amount of by-products, which include grape pomace, grape stalks and wine lees. It is estimated that processing 100 tons of grapes leads to ~ 22 tons of by-products from which ~ 6 tons are lees [1]. Wine lees are a sludge-looking material mostly made of dead and living yeast cells, yeast debris and other particles that precipitate at the bottom of wine tanks after alcoholic fermentation. Unlike grape pomace or grape stalks, few strategies have been proposed for the recovery and valorisation of wine less [2]. Nevertheless, this by-product could become a source of interesting compounds, such as mannoprotein rich extracts (MRE). Therefore, the aim of this work was to obtain MRE from different lees, to characterize them, and to evaluate their effect on wine colour and on the phenolic composition of red wines.

Red, rosé and white wines were used as sources of lees, which were collected after the alcoholic fermentation with different Saccharomyces cerevisiae commercial varieties. The extraction of MRE was performed by physical extraction (autoclave) followed by a purification with ethanol. The protein and polysaccharidic moieties of the purified extracts were characterized by SDS-PAGE, Lowry method, HR-SEC-RID and HPLC-DAD-MS. The obtained MRE were added to a red wine (Vitis vinifera L. cv Tempranillo) and the changes in the phenolic composition and colour were analysed by HPLC-DAD-MS and triestimulus colorimetry, respectively, before and after the stabilization of the wine (involving cold treatment). Results obtained showed that the extraction yield of MRE was efficient (~ 40 mg/g wet lees) for all types of lees assayed, which supports the valorisation of wine lees as a sustainable source of MRE. Interestingly, MRE presented important structural and compositional differences, both in the protein content and in the polysaccharidic profile, although the source of lees, namely red, white and rosé wines, was not the main factor determining these differences, but the winemaking techniques or the S. cerevisiae strain employed. Furthermore, the addition of the MRE to red wine had an effect on the stabilization of wine colour and its phenolic content that rely mainly on the saccharidic characteristics of each MRE. These results pointed out that MRE from wine less could be a potential tool to improve the colloidal stability of wine phenolic compounds.

TOWARDS THE SHELF-LIFE PREDICTION OF OLD CHAMPAGNE VINTAGES DEPENDING ON THE BOTTLE CAPACITY

Today, nearly one billion bottles of different sizes and capacities are aging in Champagne cellars while waiting to be put on the market. Among them, several tens of thousands of prestigious cuvees elaborated prior the 2000s are potentially concerned by prolonged aging on lees. However, when it comes to champagne tasting, dissolved CO₂ is a key compound responsible for the very much sought-after effer-vescence in glasses [1]. Yet, the slow decrease of dissolved CO₂ during prolonged aging of the most prestigious cuvees raises the issue of how long a champagne can age before it becomes unable to form CO₂ bubbles during tasting [2].

Grouping Vitis vinifera grapevine varieties based on their aromatic composition

Climate change is likely to impact wine typicity across the globe, raising concerns in wine regions historically renowned for the quality of their terroir1. Amongst several changes in viticultural practices, replacing some of the planting material (i.e. clones, rootstocks and cultivars) is thought to be one of the most promising potential levers to be used for adapting to climate change. But the change of cultivars also involves the issue of protecting the region’s wine typicity. In Bordeaux (France), extensive research has been conducted on identifying meridional varieties that could be good candidates to help guard against the effects of climate change2 while less research has been done concerning their impacts on Bordeaux wine typicity.

EMERGENCE OF INORGANIC PHOSPHONATE RESIDUES IN GRAPEVINE PLANT PARTS, BERRIES AND WINES FROM SOURCES OTHER THAN FOLIAR SPRAYING

Inorganic phosphonates are known to effectively support the control of grapevine downy mildew in vi- ticulture. Their application helps the plant to induce an earlier and more effective pathogen defense. However, inorganic phosphonates have been banned in organic viticulture due to their classification as plant protection products since October 2013. Despite the ban, phosphonate has been recently detected in organic wines.

ESTIMATING THE INITIAL OXYGEN RELEASE (IOR) OF CORK CLOSURES

Many factors influence aging of bottled wine, oxygen transfer through the closure is included. The maximum uptake of wine before oxidation begins varies from 60 mg.L-¹ to 180 mg.L-1 for white and red wines respectively [1].
The process of bottling may lead to considerable amounts of oxygen. The actual contribution of the transfer through the closure system becomes relevant at the bottle storage, but the amounts are small compared to prepacking operations [2] and to the total oxygen attained during filling.

S. CEREVISIAE AND O. ŒNI BIOFILMS FOR CONTINUOUS ALCOHOLIC AND MALOLACTIC FERMENTATIONS IN WINEMAKING

Biofilms are sessile microbial communities whose lifestyle confers specific properties. They can be defined as a structured community of bacterial cells enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix and adherent to a surface and considered as a method of immobilisation. Immobilised microorganisms offer many advantages for industrial processes in the production of alcoholic beverages and specially increasing cell densities for a better management of fermentation rates.
