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.

Mean polymerization degree of proanthocyanidins of grape seeds, skins and wines from Agiorgitiko (cv. Vitis vinifera): Differences among vintages

Grape phenolic compounds are very important constituents of red wine because, in addition to their antioxidant properties, they contribute to color, astringency and bitterness, oxidation reactions, interactions with proteins and ageing behavior of wines. The aim of our study was to assess the structural characteristics of grape and wine proanthocyanidins of Agiorgitiko variety and to evaluate the influence of the vintage year. Twelve vineyard locations were designated in the Nemea wine region. For three consecutive years (2012-2014), the grapes were harvested at technological maturity and the method of phloroglucinolysis was employed to determine the mean degree of polymerization (mDP) and subunit composition of the samples.

Elicitors used as a tool to increase stilbenes in grapes and wines

The economic importance of grapevine as a crop plant makes Vitis vinífera a good model system to study the improvement of the nutraceutical properties of food products (Vezulli et al. 2007). Stilbenes in general, and trans-resveratrol in particular, have been reported to be responsible for various beneficial effects. Resveratrol´s biological properties include antibacteria and antifungal effects, as well as cardioprotective, neuroprotective and anticâncer actions (Guerrero et al. 2010 ). Stilbenes can be induced by biotic and abiotic elicitors since they are phytoalexins (Bavaresco et al. 2001).

Fingerprinting the origin of rosé wines with a new high throughput polyphenomics method

Wine is a widely consumed alcoholic beverage with a high commercial value. More specifically, the worldwide consumption of rosé wine has increased by 20% since 2002[1]. But because of its high commercial value, it can become a subject of fraud, and authenticity control is necessarily required. More than one hundred polyphenols have been recently quantified in various rosé wines [2]. They are key components defining color, taste and quality of wines. Their amount and composition depend on many different factors such as grape variety, winemaking and age of the wine. In this study, the influence of geographic origin of some rosé French wines was investigated. An original and very fast UPLC-QTOF-MS method was developed and used to predict the geographic origin authenticity of rosé wines.

Some applications come from a method to concentrate proteins

All techniques usually used to assay proteins was not reliable in vegetable extract due to interferences with the components included in extracts like polyphenols, tanins, pectines, aromatics compounds. Absorbance at 280nm, Kjeldhal assay, Biuret and Lowry methods, Acid Bicinchonique technique and Bradford assay give the results depending on the composition of extract, on the presence or not of detergent and on the raw material (Marchal, 1995). Another difficulty in these extracts for the quantification of proteins comes from the large amount of water included in vegetable and the low concentration of proteins. Thus in red wines, proteins are usually not taken into account due to their low concentration (typically below 10 mgL-1) and to the presence of anthocyanis and polyphenols.

Identification of caffeic acid as a major component of Moscatel wine protein sediment

Proteins play a significant role in the colloidal stability and clarity of white wines [1]. However, under conditions of high temperatures during storage or transportation, the proteins themselves can self-aggregate into light-dispersing particles causing the so-called protein haze [2]. Formation of these unattractive precipitates in bottled wine is a common defect of commercial wines, making them unacceptable for sale [3]. Previous studies identified the presence of phenolic compounds in the natural precipitate of white wine [4], contributing to the hypothesis that these compounds could be involved in the mechanism of protein haze formation.
