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

Abstract

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. Cold treatment (C: 14 days at 4 ° C), mannoproteins (M: 100 mL / HL), arabic gum (AG: 200 g / HL), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC: 10 g / HL) and carboxymethylcellulose + arabic gum (AG CMC + 10 g / HL + 200 g / HL) were tested. The chromatic properties, basic composition, polyphenolic indexes, and anthocyanins and derived-anthocyanin pigments contents were analyzed. The initial impact of the cold treatment was significant, but differences with the other wines were attenuated over time. At 15 days of the start of the essay, C wine had significantly lower color intensity and was much brighter and less red than control wine. C had too the lowest anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin contents. Anthocyanin profile of this wine shows an increase in the proportion of non-acylated glucosides and malvidin, and a decrease in the percentages of delphinidin, cyanidin and coumaryl-glucosides. Anyway, the typical anthocyanin profile of the variety was slightly modified. All wines showed low differences in color and polyphenolic composition at five months from stabilization. However, the contents of free anthocyanins were decreased by all stabilization treatments in relation to the control wines. CMC+GA wines had the highest color intensity and proanthocyanidin levels while M and CMC wines had the highest catechin contents. At this time, it was verified that the contents of free anthocyanins were diminished by all treatments in relation to the control wine. At 14 months, CMC+GA wines had the highest colour intensity, and the lowest luminosity (L*). Colour intensities of C and CMC wines had not differences respect to those of control wines. However, all wines showed precipitation of tartaric salts at 5 and at 14 months from stabilization. Therefore, the tested options (products and doses) do not stabilize red wines adequately.

FERMENTATION POTENTIAL OF INDIGENOUS NON-SACCHAROMYCES YEASTS ISOLATED FROM MARAŠTINA GRAPES OF CROATIAN VINEYARDS

The interest in indigenous non-Saccharomyces yeast for use in wine production has increased in recent years because they contribute to the complex character of the wine. The aim of this work was to investigate the fermentation products of ten indigenous strains selected from a collection of native yeasts established at the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation in 2021, previously isolated from Croatian Maraština grapes, belonging to Hypopichia pseudoburtonii, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Metschnikowia sinensis, Metschnikowia chrysoperlae, Lachancea thermotolerans, Pichia kluyveri, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Hanseniaspora guillermondii, Hanseniaspora pseudoguillermondii, and Starmerella apicola species, and compare it with commercial non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces strains.

FUNCTIONALIZED MESOPOROUS SILICA IS A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO BENTONITE FOR WINE PROTEIN STABILIZATION

The presence of grape-derived heat unstable proteins can lead to haze formation in white wines [1], an instability prevented by removing these proteins by adding bentonite, a hydrated aluminum silicate that interacts electrostatically with wine proteins leading to their flocculation. Despite effective, using bentonite has several drawbacks as the costs associated with its use, the potential negative effects on wine quality, and its environmental impact, so that alternative solutions are needed.

A NEW TOOL TO QUANTIFY COMPOUNDS POTENTIALLY INVOLVED IN THE FRUITY AROMA OF RED WINES. DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION TO THE STU-DY OF THE FRUITY CHARACTER OF RED WINES MADE FROM VARIOUS GRAPE VARIETIES

A wide range of olfactory descriptors ranging from fresh and jammy fruit notes to cooked and oxidized fruit notes could describe the fruity aroma of red wines [1]. The fruity character of a wine is mainly related to the grape variety selected, to the terroir and the vinification process applied for its conception. In white wines, some volatile compounds confer directly their aroma to the wine while the question of “key” compound is more complex in red wines. According to many studies performed over the past decades, some fruity ethyl esters are directly involved in the fruity perception of red wines while others, present at subthreshold concentrations, participate indirectly to the fruity expression via perceptive interactions [2].

OENOLOGICAL AND SUSTAINABILITY POTENTIAL OF WINES PRODUCED FROM DISEASE RESISTANT GRAPE CULTIVARS (PIWI WINES)

The strategy for sustainability in the wine sector of the EU refers to a set of practices and principles that aim to minimize the negative impact of wine production on the environment, social and economic sustainability. Sustainable wine production involves a range of practices that are designed to reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote the well-being of workers and communities.
