Towards multi-purpose valorisation of polyphenols from grape pomace: Pressurized liquid extraction coupled to purification by membrane processes

Abstract

Grape by-products (including skins, seeds, stems and vine shoots) are rich in health promoting polyphenols. Their extraction from winery waste and their following purification are of special interest to produce extracts with high added value compounds. Meanwhile, the growing concern over environmental problems associated with economic constraints, require the development of environmentally sustainable extraction technologies. The extraction using semi-continuous subcritical water, as a natural solvent at high temperature and high pressure a technology is promising “green” technology that is environmentally friendly, energy efficient and improve the extraction process in plant tissues. The suitable feature of subcritical water leaching agent is its capacity to decrease dielectric constant as a function of increase in temperature, allowing a better solubility of the compounds of interest. In our study subcritical water extraction of polyphenols from red and white grape pomace from Dunkelfelder, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Chardonnay was performed. In semi-continuous extraction lead to crude extracts rich in different families of polyphenols. A purification step prior to industrial usage is essential. Coupling subcritical water extraction with membrane processes, due to large array of flexibility, offers a solution for the purification and fractioning of the crude extracts. The combined effects of extraction temperature (from 60 to 200 °C), pressure (from 25 to 100 bar), flow rate (1 to 10 ml/min), sample mass (5, 70) were investigated and compared to traditional solvent extraction (1/1 ethanol/water). Optimal extraction conditions were found to be 150 C and 6ml/min irrelevant of the pressure used. These conditions produced crude extracts containing 130 mg/100g DW of anthocyanins (+61% compared to traditional methods of extraction) and 2077mg/100g DW procyanidins (+23%). Subsequently to realize the purification of the crude extract, several organic membranes having differential molecular weight cut off 0.45 μm up to 200 Da were tested. The results allow evaluating both the permeate flux through the membranes and the rejection rates of the major compounds found in the crude extract. The tested membranes have differential selectivity for polysacharrides, proteins, and different families phenolic compounds (pentamers, trimers, anthocyanin, and phenolic acids) with high purity (95%). Confirming the applicability of membrane separation for the fractionation and purification of pomace extracts. More research is needed to validate the industrial up scaling and the intended application of the produced extracts.

Influence of wood chips addition during alcoholic fermentation on wine phenolic composition

This study investigates the effect of wood chips addition during the alcoholic fermentation on the phenolic
composition of the produced wines. A series of wood chips, originating from American, French, Slavonia
oak and Acacia were added at the beginning of wine alcoholic fermentation. Besides, a mixture consisting
of 50% French and 50% Americal oak chips were added during the experimentation. The wine samples
were analyzed one month after the end of malolactic fermentation, examining various chemical
parameters such as total anthocyanins, total phenolic content, tannins combined with protein (BSA) and
ellagitannin content.

Defining the mechanisms and impact of winemaking treatments on tannin and polysaccharides in red wine: recent progress in creating diverse styles

Tannin and polysaccharide concentration and composition is important in defining the texture of red wines, but can vary due to factors such as cultivar, region, grape ripeness, viticultural practices and winemaking techniques. However, the concentration and composition of these macromolecules is dependent not only on grape tannin and polysaccharide concentration and composition, but also their extractability and, in the case of polysaccharides, their formation by yeast. Through studies into the influence of grape maturity, winemaking and sensory impacts of red grape polysaccharides, seed and skin tannins, recent research in our laboratory has shown that the processes involved in the extraction of these macromolecules from grapes and their retention in wine are very complex.

How pressing techniques affect must composition and wine quality of Pinot blanc

This study investigates how the sensory profile of Pinot Blanc is affected from different maceration and pressing techniques. Grapes were sourced from four vineyards in the village Tramin in South Tyrol. For the experiment 200 kg of grapes from each vineyard site were hand picked the day before harvest for the commercial winery took place. Grapes were stored over night at 4°C, homogenized and processed in the experimental winery at Laimburg research centre the day after harvest. Four different pressing techniques were applied in duplicates of 100kg each.

Prediction of the production kinetics of the main fermentative aromas in alcoholic fermentation

Fermentative aromas (especially esters and higher alcohols) highly impact the organoleptic profile of young and white wines. The production of these volatile compounds depends mainly on temperature and Yeast Available Nitrogen (YAN) content in the must. Available dynamic models predict the main reaction
(bioconversion of sugar into ethanol and CO2 production) but none of them considers the production kinetics of fermentative aroma compounds during the process of fermentation. We determined the production kinetics of the main esters and higher alcohols for different values of initial YAN content and temperature, using an innovative online monitoring Gas Chromatography device.

Impact of some agronomic practices on grape skins anthocyanin content

Wine colour is the first quality characteristic to be assessed, especially regarding red wines. Anthocyanins are very well known to be the main responsible compounds for red wine colour. Red cultivars can synthesize and accumulate anthocyanins in berry skin to express their colour. However, anthocyanin accumulation is often influenced by a series of factors, such as genetic regulation, phytohormones, environmental conditions and viticultural management.
