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.

RED WINE AGING WITHOUT SO₂: WHAT IMPACT ON MICROBIAL COMMUNITY?

Nowadays, the use of food preservatives is controversial, SO2 being no exception. Microbial communities have been particularly studied during the prefermentary and fermentation stages in a context of without added SO2. However, microbial risks associated with SO2 reduction or absence, particularly during the wine aging process, have so far been little studied. The microbiological control of wine aging is a key issue for winemakers wishing to produce wines without added SO2. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of different wine aging strategies according to the addition or not of SO2 on the microbiological population levels and diversity.

HYDROXYTYROSOL PRODUCTION BY DIFFERENT YEAST STRAINS: SACCHAROMYCES AND NON-SACCHAROMYCES AND THE RELATION WITH THE NITROGEN CONSUMPTION

Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a phenolic compound with extensive bioactive properties. It is present in olives, olive oil and wines. Its occurrence in wines is partly due to yeast synthetise tyrosol from tyrosine by the Ehrlich pathway, which is subsequently hydroxylated to .
The aim of the present work is to study how different yeast strains can influence in the HT production and, how the different nitrogen consumption of each strain can interfere the production of bioactive compounds.

TARTARIC STABILIZATION MAY AFFECT THE COLOR AND POLYPHENOLIC COMPOSITION OF TANNAT RED WINES FROM URUGUAY

Tartrate precipitation affects the properties of wines, due to the formation of crystals that cause turbidity, even after being bottled. The forced tartaric stabilization is carried out frequently for young wines, through various physicochemical procedures. The traditional treatment for tartaric stabilization is refrigeration, but it can have a negative effect on wine’s sensory properties, and particularly on the color of red wines. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different tartaric stabilization options on the color and phenolic composition of Tannat red wines from Uruguay.

UNRAVELLING THE ROLE OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA ON SPARKLING WINE ELABORATION THROUGH METABOLOMICS APPROACH

Xinomavro is a red grape variety from Northern Greece (Protected Designation of Origin), known for the nice acidities, perfectly appropriate for sparkling wine production (Rosé and Blanc de Noir). The elabo- ration of sparkling wine requires technical as well as scientific skills. Although the impact of the yeast strains and their metabolites on the final product quality is well documented, the action of bacteria still remains unknown.
The present work focuses (i) on the population diversity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from sparkling wines and (ii) on the technological effect of the species during sparkling wine elaboration.
