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.

What about oxygen transfer during wine aging in barrels?

During wine aging, several complex phenomena of gas transfer take place in barrels due to the wine/oak contact. The efficiency of this gas transfer varies according to oak wood’s intrinsic physical properties. This research aims to better understand oxygen transfer phenomena through dry oak staves and especially through stave gaps, in order to reevaluate the importance of barrel-making on a barrel’s supply of oxygen. Experimentation was based on the development of an innovative permeameter of laboratory scale, for which the principal operating conditions concerning applied pressure, the choice of liquid phase/gas phase, and the grain type of oak are taken into account and investigated. With a specially developed tightening system, the existing pressure at stave gaps in a barrel could be reproduced on a laboratory scale in order to estimate its influence on oxygen transfer efficiency.

New molecular evidence of wine yeast-bacteria interaction unraveled by untargeted metabolomic profiling

Bacterial malolactic fermentation (MLF) has a considerable impact on wine quality. The yeast strain used for primary fermentation can consistently stimulate (MLF+ phenotype) or inhibit (MLF- phenotype) malolactic bacteria and the MLF process as a function of numerous winemaking practices, but the molecular evidence behind still remains a mystery. In this study, such evidence was elucidated by the direct comparison of extracellular metabolic profiles of MLF+ and MLF- yeast phenotypes. Untargeted metabolomics combining ultrahigh-resolution FT-ICR-MS analysis, powerful machine learning methods and a comprehensive wine metabolite database, discovered around 800 putative biomarkers and 2500 unknown masses involved in phenotypic distinction.

Use of computational modelling for selecting adsorbents for improved fining of wine

The occurrence of faults and taints in wine, such as those caused by microbial spoilage or various taints, have resulted in significant financial losses to wine producers. The wine industry commits significant financial resources towards fining and taint removal processes each year. Fining involves the addition of one or more adsorptive substrates to juice or wine to bind certain components, thus reducing their concentration [1]. However, these processes are often not selective and can also remove desirable flavour and aroma compounds.

Contribution of Piperitone to the mint nuances perceived in the aging bouquet of red Bordeaux wines

During the tasting of a fine, old wine, the aromas generated in the glass are intertwined in an intimate, complex manner, expressing the fragrance of the aging bouquet. This aging bouquet, which develops during bottle storage through a complex transformation process, may result in a broad palette of nuances. Among these, undergrowth, truffle, toasted, spicy, licorice, fresh red- and black-berry fruit and mint descriptors were recently identified as features of its olfactory representation for red Bordeaux wines. Although a targeted chemical approach focusing on volatile sulfur compounds revealed the role played by dimethyl sulfide, 2-furanmethanethiol, and 3-sulfanylhexanol as molecular markers of the typicality of the wine aging bouquet of red Bordeaux wines, its chemical transcription has only partially been elucidated.

Petrolomics-derived data interpretation to study acetaldehyde-epicatechin condensation reactions

During red wine ageing or conservation, color and taste change and astringency tends to reduce. These changes result from reactions of flavan-3-ols and/or anthocyanins among which condensation reactions with acetaldehyde are particularly important. The full characterization of these reactions has not been fully achieved because of difficulties in extracting and separating the newly formed compounds directly from wine. Model solutions mimicking food products constitute a simplified medium for their exploration, allowing the detection of the newly formed compounds, their isolation, and their structure elucidation.
