Effect of concentration and competition between different fungicide residues on the adsorption efficiency of activated vegetal fibres for treatment of wine

Abstract

Vineyards are strongly exposed to fungal diseases, attacks from insects and competition with weeds. Most treatments used on grape vines contain synthetic active substances, which may be transferred to the wine. Such pesticides have a negative image because many active substances are potential health hazards. A specific oenological treatment allowing the reduction of pesticide residues in wine based on activated vegetable fibres (AVF) is under examination by the International Organisation for Vine and Wine. This technique works efficiently and alters the wine only little (Lempereur et al. 2014). The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in adsorption efficiency of the active substances most used by Swiss winegrowers. Furthermore, effects of concentration and competition between the different active substances in the adsorption efficiency of AVF were investigated. The concentration and competition trials were carried out using white wine without pesticides allowing to artificially spike six active substances. The investigation of the concentration effect led to the Freundlich isotherms allowing the calculation of the adsorption capacities of Fenpropidin k = 1816μg/g fiber and Fluopyram k = 556μg/g of fibre. This showed that the rate of reduction of these active substances is not related to the initial concentration, but remains stable over the tested range. The results of the competition trial indicate no interaction between different active substances present in a solution for the absorption by AVF. Indeed, it was not possible to show significant differences between the reduction rate of pesticides in a wine containing a cocktail of six active substances and wines containing only one of the active substances. Our results also confirm that the reduction rate depends on the active substance. Among the tested substances, there are three different efficiency classes: Mandipropamid, Cyprodinil and Fenpropidin with reduction rates between 80-100%, Fludioxonil and Fluopyram with rates between 50-80% and Iprovalicarb with a rate under 50%. This classification confirms the results of previous pre-industrial trials (Lempereur et al. 2014), except for Fenpropidin and Fluopyram that were never tested before. These experiments show the potential of AVF for active substances untested so far such as Fluopyram and Fenpropidin. Trials are currently under way to compare the efficiency of AVF between laboratory and pre-industrial conditions and to investigate the sensory impact on the wine, particularly the perception threshold of the AVF and their impact on the colloidal balance of the wine.

On the losses of dissolved CO2 during champagne aging

A misconception lingers in the minds of some wine consumers that Champagne wines don’t age. It’s largely a myth, certainly as far as the best cuvees are concerned. Actually, during the so-called autolysis period of time (in the closed bottle, after the “prise de mousse”), complex chemical reactions take place when the wine remains in contact with the dead yeast cells, which progressively bring complex and very much sought-after aromas to champagne. Nevertheless, despite their remarkable impermeability to liquid and air, caps or natural cork stoppers used to cork the bottles are not 100% hermetic with regard to gas transfers. Gas species therefore very slowly diffuse through the cap or cork stopper, along their respective inverse partial pressure. After the “prise de mousse”, because the partial pressure of CO2 in the bottleneck reaches up to 6 bars (at 12 °C), gaseous CO2 progressively diffuse from the bottle to the ambient air
(where the partial pressure of gaseous CO2 is only of order of 0,0004 bar).

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.

Improving the phenolic composition of cv tempranillo wines by blending grapes of different ripening state

The aim of this work was to reduce the alcohol content of Tempranillo wine. Tempranillo wines were produced by grapes harvested at different ripening dates (August 11 which was 21 oBrix and September 28 with 25 oBrix). At the second date, the Tempranillo wines were elaborated as follows: grapes were destemmed, crushed and collected into 50 L stainless-steel vats. Before preferementative maceration in cold, 50 % (M1) and 70 % (M2) of the must have been replaced by the same percentage of must from the first harvest. In addition, a control wine (C) was performed with only grapes from the second harvest.

Impact of varying ethanol and carbonation levels on the odor threshold of 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphtalene (petrol off-flavor) and role of berry size and Riesling clones

1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphtelene (TDN) evokes the odor of “petrol” in wine, especially in the variety Riesling. Increasing UV-radiation due to climate change intensifies formation of carotenoids in the berry skins and an increase of TDN-precursors1. Exploring new viticultural and oenological strategies to limit TDN formation in the future requires precise knowledge of TDN thresholds in different matrices. Thresholds reported in the literature vary substantially between 2 µg/L up to 20 µg/L2,3,4 due to the use of different methods. As Riesling grapes are used for very different wine styles such as dry, sweet or sparkling wines, it is essential to study the impact of varying ethanol and carbonation levels.
