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

Abstract

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 assignments were based on their UV-vis and MSn spectral data. Firstly, the MS2 fragmentation pattern of each tentatively identified flavonol glycoside derivative showed a main signal attributable to the expected flavonol aglycone, together with a weak signal corresponding to the intermediate loss of the acyl moiety. The structures of the flavonol aglycones were confirmed by their respective MS3 experiments that matched with those obtained from authentic standards of the three aglycones. In addition, the DAD on-line UV-vis spectra of the suggested flavonol-3-O-(p-coumaroyl)-glucosides closely matched the sum of the respective spectra of the flavonol-3-O-glucoside and that of p-coumaric acid. Interestingly, the presence of these new flavonol derivatives was limited to the minority flavonols. Being acylation a final step in the flavonoid synthesis, our findings suggest a very high specificity of the acyltransferases implied for the flavonol glycoside substrate that in this case would be related to the presence of methoxyl groups in the B ring of the flavonol. The fact that these compounds have been found in Tannat, a Vitis vinifera with scarce cultivation around the world, may indicate that the implied acyltransferases could be little spread among grape varieties. Nevertheless it could be associated to other factors like growth environmental conditions, or to the sensitivity of the analytical technique employed, or others factors, which should be further considered and studied. These results give evidences of new flavonol derivatives in grapes and wines, and expose a case of substrate specificity of the enzymes implied in their synthesis.

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

Chile y Compañía Limitada, Rosario Norte 407, piso 6, Las Condes, Santiago, Chile 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.

Comparison of aroma-related compounds of carbonic maceration and traditional young red winemaking in case of Merlot by means of targeted metabolomic approach

Winemaking decisions and techniques are known to affect the final aromatic composition of red wines. Winemakers put a constant effort into the improved controlling of vinification procedures to achieve better quality. Anyway an increased customer’s demand for uniqueness is often forcing them to adjust and offer new and new interesting products. To support the producers, an improved knowledge on aromatic potential as affected by classical and alternative strategies is needed.

Sensory impacts of the obturator used for the Chasselas: study over the time

Many parameters affect the organoleptic characteristics of wine: internal parameters like the chemical composition or polyphenol content and external as for example storage conditions or the type of obturator. The aim of this study was to characterize sensorally the impacts of several type of obturator on a white wine: Chasselas. To determine the organoleptic characteristics of this wine, a quantitative descriptive analysis could be used. But rapid sensory methods were preferred in this project. Indeed these methods are an appropriate alternative to conventional descriptive methods for quickly assessing sensory product discrimination.

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.

The impact of different yeasts and harvest time on the wine quality of Beihong and Beimei (<I>V. vinifera x V. amurensis</I>)

Beihong and Beimei are two wine cultivars from ‘Muscat Hamberg’ (V. vinifera L.) and wild V. amurensis Rupr., which were released in China in 2008. Here,two enology practices were reported. Firstly, the impact of different yeasts including D254, GRE, K1, D21 and BDX on dry wine quality of Beihong and Beimei was investigated. For Beihong, among wines fermented by all yeasts, residual sugar content was the lowest, total anthocyanin and resveratrol contents were the highest in the wine by D254. However, the wine by D254 had lower titrable acid than those by the other yeasts except BDX.
