Anthropogenic factors in modulations of fungal populations from grapes to wines and their repercussions on wine characteristics

Abstract

The effects of anthropogenic activities on vineyard (different plant protections) and in winery (pressing/clarification step, addition of sulfur dioxide) on fungal populations from grape to wine were studied. The studied anthropogenic activities modify the fungal diversity. Thus, lower biodiversity of grapes from organic modality was measured for the three vintages considered compared to biodiversity from ecophyto modality and conventional modality. The pressing / clarification steps strongly modify fungal populations and the influence of the winery flora is highlighted. The addition of SO2 changes the population dynamics and favors the dominance of the species S. cerevisiae. Moreover, use of SO2 had a particular impact on chemical wine composition with a slight increase in sulfurous compounds for the wines elaborated with sulfites, with an increase of the CHOS/CHO ratio of the mass numbers. However, the non-targeted chemical analysis shows also that these wines can still yet be distinguished at the end of the alcoholic fermentation (with or without SO2) depending on plant protection. Differences linked to plant protection mode are not totally masked by the use of SO2. Moreover, these differences are more visible after AF and can partly result from microbiological processes. Projecting the masses as filtered from the PLS–DA analysis on van Krevelen diagrams reveals specific chemical fingerprints for the organic, conventional and ecophyto wines. It is noteworthy that almost no CHOP- and CHONP-containing compounds are specific for a protection mode and that some CHONP-containing compounds are specific only for organic wines particularly. The organic wines appear to be characterized by CHONS-, CHONSP- and CHO-containing compounds located in particular in areas of amino acids and carbohydrates. The conventional wines appear to be specifically richer in sulfurous CHO-containing compounds with some located in the carbohydrate area and by CHONS- and CHOS-containing compounds. The ecophyto wines appear to be characterized by CHONS-, CHON- and CHO-containing compounds. These results show a significant influence of enological practices such as the use of sulfur dioxide on wine global chemical composition. However the effect of plant protection in the vineyard remains visible. For the first time, the existence of differences in the chemical signatures of wines associated with vineyard protection mode is highlighted.

Metabolomics comparison of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in Sauvignon blanc and Shiraz

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) is the main driver of alcoholic fermentation however, in wine, non-Saccharomyces species can have a powerful effect on aroma and flavor formation. This study aimed to compare untargeted volatile compound profiles from SPME-GC×GC-TOF-MS of Sauvignon blanc and Shiraz wine inoculated with six different non-Saccharomyces yeasts followed by SC. Torulaspora delbrueckii (TD), Lachancea thermotolerans (LT), Pichia kluyveri (PK) and Metschnikowia pulcherrima (MP) were commercial starter strains, while Candida zemplinina (CZ) and Kazachstania aerobia (KA), were isolated from wine grape environments. Each fermentation produced a distinct chemical profile that was unique for both grape musts. The SC-monoculture and CZ-SC sequential fermentations were the most distinctly different in the Sauvignon blanc while the LT-SC sequential fermentations were the most different from the control in the Shiraz fermentations.

Field-grown Sauvignon Blanc berries react to increased exposure by controlling antioxidant homeostasis and displaying UV acclimation responses that are influenced by the level of ambient light

Leaf removal in the bunch zone is a common viticultural practice with several objectives, yet it has been difficult to conclusively link the physiological mechanism(s) and metabolic berry impact to this widely practiced treatment. We used a field-omics approach1 in a Sauvignon blanc high altitude model vineyard, showing that the early leaf removal in the bunch zone caused quantifiable and stable responses (over years) in the microclimate where the main perturbation was increased exposure. We provide an explanation for how leaf removal leads to the shifts in grape metabolites typically linked to this treatment and confirm anecdotal evidence and previous reports that leaf removal treatment at an early stage of berry development affects “quality-associated” metabolites (monoterpenes and norisoprenoids).

To a better understanding of the impact of vine nitrogen status on volatile thiols from plot to transcriptome level

Volatile thiols contribute largely to the organoleptic characteristics and typicity of Sauvignon blanc wines. Among this family of odorous compounds, 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and 4-methyl-4-sulfanylpentan-2-one (4MSP) have a major impact on wine flavor. These thiols are formed during alcoholic fermentation by the yeast from odorless and non-volatile precursors found in the berry and the must. The effect of vine nitrogen status on 3SH and 4MSP in Sauvignon blanc wine and on the glutathionylated and cysteinylated precursors of 3SH (Glut-3SH and Cys-3SH) was investigated in this study.

Effect of nanofiltration on the chemical composition and wine quality

In Enology the conventional processes of filtration for clarification and stabilization are giving place to alternative membrane processes, including nanofiltration (NF). Furthermore, the increased alcohol content in wines recorded in recent years became an important issue for all the main wine producing countries. Among techniques available to the wine industry to reduce the ethanol content, NF is certainly one of the newest. This study is focused on the evaluation of NF influence on wine physical-chemical composition, including mineral content, which in accordance to our best knowledge is a novelty.
