Effect of ageing with Specific Inactivated Dry Yeasts on the volatile composition of Sauvignon Blanc and Carménère wines

Abstract

The wine is a complex matrix made up of several compounds which can interact among themselves throughout the wine ageing process, thereby modifying their sensorial characteristics. It is well known that during ageing of wines on lees, polysaccharides (mainly mannoproteins) can be released and can interact with the aromatic fraction modifying its volatility. Furthermore, the dead yeast can also release other compounds which can act as flavor agents and aromatic precursors improving the complexity of the wines. For several years, the companies of enological products have supplied wineries with several preparations rich in mannoproteins and polysaccharides obtained from Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell walls, using physical and/or enzymatic treatment under different names (inactivated dry yeast, yeast autolysates, yeast cell walls, yeast proteic extracts and yeast mannoproteins). These products are supplied as an alternative to wine ageing on lees in order to improve the aromatic profile of the wines. The aim of this work was to study the effect of ageing with different Specific Inactivated Dry Yeasts (SIDY) on the volatile composition of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc and Carménère white and red wines. The dose applied was 30 g/hL and the treatments lasted 2 months. The wines were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometryusing the headspace stir bar sorptive extraction technique (HSSE). Stir bars coated with polydimethylsiloxane
(PDMS) were used. In the case of white wines, two different SIDY (SIDY 1 and SIDY 2) were used. The results showed that, in general, the wines treated with both SIDY had higher ester and alcohol amounts than the control wines. Respect to the red wines, three different SIDY (SIDY 1, SIDY 2 and SIDY3) were used. In this case, in general, the wines treated with SIDY 3 were wines with a higher amount of esters and lower quantities of alcohols than the other two treated (SIDY 1, SIDY 2) and the control wines. In addition, the treated red wines presented lower amounts of acetic acid and acetoin than the controls.

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.

Oak wood seasoning: impact on oak wood chemical composition and sensory quality of wine

Oak wood selection and maturation are essential steps in the course of barrel fabrication. Given the existence of many factors involved in the choice of raw material and in natural seasoning of oak wood, it is very difficult to determine the real impact of seasoning and selection factors on oak wood composition. A sampling was done to study the evolution of oak wood chemical composition during four seasoning steps: non matured, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months. For this sampling, three selection factors were taken into account: age, grain type and the Polyphenolic Index measured by Oakscan®. Besides extractables
(~10%), three polymers constitute the main part of oak wood: cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignins.

Innovations in the use of bentonite in enology: interactions with grape and wine proteins, colloids, polyphenols and aroma compounds.

The use of bentonite in oenology rounds around the limpidity and the stability that determine consumer acceptability. As a matter of fact, the haze formation in wine reduces its commercial value and makes it unacceptable for sale. Stabilization treatments are, therefore, essential to ensure a long-time limpidity and to forecast the formation of deposits in the bottle. Bentonite that is normally used in oenology for clarifying-fining purpose, shows a natural clay-based mineral structure allowing it to swell and to jelly in water and hence in must and wine.

Influence of preflowering basal leaf removal on aromatic composition of cv. Tempranillo wine from semiarid climate (Extremadura Western Spain)

Abstract In this work the effects of early leaf removal performed manually at preflowering phenological stage, on the volatile composition of Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) wines were studied. From 2009-2011 vintages 34 wine volatile compounds were identified and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) where early leaf removal only modified 25 of them. The total C6 compounds, acetates and volatiles acids (with exception of isobutyric acid) were affected by defoliation, whereas alcohols and esters showed a minor effect. Furthermore the vintage effect also was shown.

DNA and type of grain: which factor does better explain sensory differences of sessile and pedunculate oaks?

Sessile oak and pedunculate oak have shown several differences of interest for enological purposes. Tannic and aromatic composition among sessile oak or pedonculate oak has been well studied. Sessile oak is generally more aromatic than pedunculated, while the later is more tannic. This scientific point of view is rarely applied to classify oak in cooperages. Most coopers use the type of grain to distinguish wide and thin grain.
