Moscatel vine-shoot extracts as grapevine biostimulant to increase the varietal aroma of Airén wines

Abstract

There is a growing interest in the exploitation of vine-shoots waste, since they are often left or burned. Sánchez-Gómez et al. [1] have shown that vines-shoots aqueous extracts have significant contents of bioactive compounds, among which several polyphenols and volatiles are highlighted. Recent studied had demonstrated that the chemical composition of vine-shoots is enhanced when vine-shoots are toasted [2,3]. The application of vegetable products in the vineyards has led to significant changes towards a more “Sustainable Viticulture”. An innovative foliar application for Airén vine-shoot extracts have been carried out to the vineyard. It has been shown that they act as grape biostimulants, improving certain wine quality characteristics [4]. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Moscatel aqueous vine-shoots extracts (non-toasted and toasted) on wine quality when they were foliarly applied to Airén grapevines variety, with special attention on varietal volatile compounds to see if this aromatic variety can transmitted its appreciate volatile profile. Two vine-shoots aqueous extracts from Moscatel variety (non-toasted, MVS; and toasted, MVSToasted) were obtained. Previous extraction procedure [1], the toasted sample was submitted to 180ºC during 45 min [2]. After their formulation they were applied to the leaves of Airén grapevines at veraison. Grapes resulted from each treatment were processed following the classical winemaking method for white wines. The detailed analysis of the wine volatile composition was performed by SBSE-GC/MS [1,5]. Airén wines obtained from two treatments, had significantly lower alcohol degree in relation to control wines, which it could be considered an interesting alternative for wine industry as wines with low alcoholic degree are required by consumers. About their volatile profile, both presented a higher aromatic complexity, due to an increase in the varietal volatiles content, along with those considered as wood volatiles.

Interest and impact of PVP/PVI (Polyvinylpyrrolidone/ Polyvinylimidazole) on winemaking and final quality of wines

Céline Sparrow a, Christophe Morge a, a SOFRALAB SAS, 79, av. A.A. Thévenet – CS 11031 – 51530 Magenta, France Consumers’ health and security force authorities to limit, in wine as in others food industry products, the concentration in « dangerous » molecules. Therefore the legal limit in heavy metals keeps on decreasing. As per proof EU regulation just decrease the stain concentration in wine from 0,2 to 0,15 mg/l. Certain changes , such as sodium arsenite treatment in vines, disappearance of brass in wineries to the benefit of stainless steel, limit even more the concentration of heavy metals in wines. But the use of copper derivates in vines treatments is difficult to replace. In the case of wine and its elaboration, the problem is even more complex. Indeed, regulation forces the wine producers to control the concentration of certain heavy metals in final wines.

Effect of post-harvest ozone treatments on the skin phenolic composition and extractability of red winegrapes cv Nebbiolo and Barbera

Wine industry is looking forward for innovative, safe and eco-friendly antimicrobial products allowing the reduction of chemical treatments in the grape defense and the winemaking process that can affect negatively the quality of the product. Ozone has been tested in food industry giving good results in preventing fungi and bacteria growth on a wide spectrum of vegetables and fruits, due to its oxidant activity and ability to attack numerous cellular constituents. Ozone leaves no chemical residues on the food surface, decomposing itself rapidly in oxygen. Gaseous ozone has been already tested for table grapes storage and on wine grapes during withering.

Trans-resveratrol concentrations in wines Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile

This study evaluated the levels of trans-resveratrol in commercial wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from different valleys of Chile stilbenes. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted variety in Chile, being 38% of the total vineyard country. Chile is the fourth largest wine exporter in the world, so it is important to evaluate the Cabernet-Sauvignon wines in their concentration levels of trans-resveratrol and its relation to the benefits provided to human health in moderate consumption. Evaluation comprises commercial wines from different valleys of Chile and its relationship with climatic characteristics, soil and vineyard handling.

New acylated flavonols identified in the grape skin of Vitis vinifera cv. Tannat and their wines

Flavonols are a class of flavonoid compounds derived from plant secondary metabolism. There they play different roles like antioxidants, internal regulators and UV screenings. In red wines, flavonols have increasingly received consideration by part of scientific and winemakers according their properties began to arise known. Among these stand out wine colour stabilization and their value as bioactive compounds. In this work the complete series of the acetylated and p-coumaroylated derivatives of the 3-O-glycosides of methoxylated flavonols, namely isorhamnetin, laricitrin and syringetin, have been identified in grapes and their respective wines from Vitis vinifera cv. Tannat.

The moment of preharvest elicitor application influence its final effect on winegrapes quality

Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites of grapes. Plants produce a wide variety of this type of metabolites through diverse biosynthesis pathways and their production is sometimes a response to external stimuli, either environmental or biotic stresses. Some of them may act as chemical defenses against pathogens or herbivores and their synthesis is increased when the attack exists. However, it is remarkable that the synthesis of these interesting compounds can be activated even when the stimulus is not present, with the use of elicitors. These are substances that when applied exogenously trigger the biosynthetic pathways conducting to the synthesis of these defense compounds.
