EXTRACTIBLE COMPOUNDS FROM MICROAGGLOMERATED CORK STOPPERS

Abstract

After bottling, the wine continues to evolve during storage. The choice of the stopper is an important factor in this evolution. In addition to the oxygen permeability of the closure, the migration of stopper compounds into the wine can also have an impact on the wine organoleptic properties. Many studies have shown that transfers of volatile compounds from the stoppers into the wine can happen depending on the type of closure used (1). Moreover, when cork-made stoppers are used, the migration of phenolic compounds from the stopper into the wine can also occur (2, 3). However, there are few studies on the migration of polyphenols from agglomerated corks treated with supercritical CO₂. Therefore, the present study aimed to quantify the polyphenols released by microagglomerated cork stoppers in hydroalcoholic solutions in comparison with those extracted from natural cork stoppers. Thus, extractions were performed on eight different batches of natural cork stoppers and eleven of microagglomerated cork stoppers treated with supercritical CO₂. For this, six stoppers from each batch were immersed in 400 mL of 12% ethanol solution at 40°C for 10 days. The nineteen macerates were then analyzed by HPLC-DAD-ESI-QQQ to identify and quantify the extracted polyphenols and suberic acid. The microagglomerated corks released significantly fewer polyphenols (i.e., 25 times less). Regarding suberic acid, no differences were observed between both types of cork stoppers. Then, according to the groups obtained by a hierarchical ascending classification based on polyphenol composition, the macerates were pooled in equal volumes to reconstitute four new macerates of natural and/or microagglomerated cork stoppers. These four samples were then submitted to a panel of thirteen judges to perform a sensory profile with olfacto-ry, taste, and mouthfeel descriptors. The results of this sensory profile showed that microagglomerated stoppers appeared to have the lowest overall impact on the olfactory and gustative perception of the hydroalcoholic solutions.

FACTORS AFFECTING QUERCETIN SOLUBILITY IN SANGIOVESE RED WINE: FIRST RESULTS

Quercetin (Q) is present in grape in form of glycosides and as aglycone. These compounds are extracted from grape skins during winemaking. In wines, following the hydrolysis reactions, the amount of quercetin aglycon can exceed its solubility value. Unfortunately, a threshold solubility concentration for quercetin in wine is not easy to determine because it depends on wine matrix (Gambuti et al., 2020).

A synthesis approach on the impact of elevated CO2 on berry physiology and yield of Vitis vinifera

Besides the increase in global mean temperature the second main challenge of a changing climate is the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in relation to physiology and yield performance of grapevines. The benefits of increasing CO2 levels under greenhouse environment or open field studies have been well investigated for various annual crops. Research under free carbon dioxide enrichment on field-grown perennial plants such as grapevines is limited to a few studies. Further, chamber and greenhouse experiments have been conducted mostly on potted vines under eCO2 conditions.

VOLTAMETRIC PROFILING OF RED WINE COMPOSITION DURING MACERATION: A STUDY ON FOUR GRAPE VARIETIES

During red wine vinification, maceration allows the must, and consequently the wine, to be enriched with several compounds that contribute to the creation of the typical organoleptic characteristics of red wines. Among these, extraction of polyphenols (PPs) during maceration is a major process of enological interest.
The purpose of this study was the evaluate the suitability of a rapid analytical approach based in linear sweep voltammetry to monitor PPs extraction during vinification.

THE EFFECT OF COPPER ON THE PRODUCTION OF VARIETAL THIOLS DURING THE ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION OF COLOMBARD AND GROS MANSENG GRAPE JUICES

Nowadays, the rapid growth of vineyards with organic practices and the use of copper as the only fun-gicide against downy mildew raises again the question of the effect of copper on varietal thiols in wine, especially 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and its acetate (3SHA). A few decades ago, several works indicated that the use of copper in the vineyard had a negative effect on the content of varietal thiols in Sauvignon blanc wines [1, 2]. However, these studies only considered the concentration of the reduced form (RSH) of varietal thiols, without quantifying the oxidised ones. For this purpose, we proposed to monitor both reduced and oxidised forms of varietal thiols in wine under copper stress during alcoholic fermentation to have a more complete picture of the biological and chemical mechanisms.
