Metabolomic profile of red non-V. vinifera genotypes

Abstract

Vitis vinifera L. is the most widely cultivated Vitis species which includes numerous cultivars. Owing to their superior quality of grapes, these cultivars were long considered the only suitable for the production of fine wines. However, the lack of resistance genes in V. vinifera against major grapevine pathogens, requires for its cultivation frequent spraying with large amount of fungicides. Thus, the search for alternative and more sustainable methods to control the grapevine pathogens have brought the breeders to focus their attention on other Vitis species. In fact, wild Vitis genotypes present multiple resistance traits against pathogens, such as powdery mildew, downy mildew and phylloxera. For this reason, these genotypes have been used in breeding programs in order to introgress resistant traits to pests and diseases in V. vinifera species. The aim of this work was to study the metabolite profiles (simple phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, lipids and proanthocyanidins) of two hybrid varieties (41B and K5BB) and seven American Vitis species (V. andersonii, V. arizonica, V. champinii, V. cinerea, V. riparia, V. slavinii and V. californica) in six different vintages. The results were compared with two V. vinifera cultivars (Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon). Grape skin anthocyanins were analyzed by HPLC-DAD [1] and twenty different anthocyanins were detected and quantified. In four genotypes less than 5% of the total amount of anthocyanins detected were diglucosides (from 11.6 to 56.9 mg/kg). In the five remaining genotypes more than 50% of the total were found to be diglucosides (from 522.1 to 2657.6 mg/kg). Analysis of phenolic compounds by UHPLC-MS/MS [2] showed that three non-V. vinifera genotypes contained higher average amount of total phenolics compared to V. vinifera cultivars. A rapid LC-MS/MS method [3] was used to identify and quantify thirty-three lipids. The total lipids of eight out of nine non-V. vinifera genotypes was higher compared to V. vinifera cultivars. The differences between the genotypes’ content of anthocyanins, phenolics and lipids were investigated by heatmap analysis. The data was scaled to unit variance, the correlation of variables was used as the distance measure and Ward’s minimum variance method was used for hierarchical clustering. Up to our knowledge this is the most extended metabolomics profiling study on wild Vitis grape genotypes. Altogether, this study highlights the presence of a significant genotypic diversity between the composition of the fruits of V. vinifera and other species. The knowledge of their composition can greatly influence the further breeding programs, since being responsible for both the quality and the resistance traits of new grape interspecific varieties.

Development of a new sustainable filtering media for wine and beer clarification and sterilisation

Different separation techniques are frequently used during vinification process. Nowadays, clarification and microbiological stabilization of wine or beer can be done using precoat filters or crossflow filters to remove yeast and bacteria. Kieselguhr powders are the most used filter aids for precoat filtration. Their crystalline structure and their pulverulent nature induce ecotoxicological risks when used. Moreover, regeneration and reuse of these filter aids is not efficient and the filtration waste requires cost effective retreatment.

Oxygen consumption by diferent oenological tanins in a model wine solution

INTRODUCTION: Oenological tannins are widely used in winemaking to improve some characteristics of wines [1] being the antioxidant properties probably one of the main reasons [2]. However, commercial tannins have different botanical sources and chemical composition [3] which probably determines different antioxidant potential. There are some few references about the antioxidant properties of commercial tannins [4] but none of them have really measured the direct oxygen consumption by them. The aim of this work was to measure the kinetics of oxygen consumption by different commercial tannins in order to determine their real capacities to protect wine against oxygen. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 4 different commercial tannins were used: T1: condensed tannin from grape seeds, T2: gallotannin from chinese gallnuts, T3: ellagitannin from oak and T4: tannin from quebracho containing condensed tannins and ellagitannins.

Intelligent article to control the internal pressure in continue in bottles

An intelligent packaging might, among others, provide information and allow monitoring of the quality of the packed product or its surrounding environment. A recent project on micro-flow wine bottles closed with aluminium screw cap and tightness liner, highlighted the importance of monitoring the internal overpressure continuously, in real-time and at least for 72 hours, since the internal pressure on the tightness liner and the micro-flow are related. Real-time and continuous measurements are not the standard methods of measurement of the overpressure, yet. The most used equipment for the determination of the pressure in wine bottle is the aphrometer, a destructive device that supplies a single value of pressure.

Effect of intra‐vineyard ripeness variation on the efficiency of commercial enzymes on berry cell wall deconstruction under winemaking conditions

Intra-vineyard variation grape berry ripening occurs within bunches, between bunches on the same vine and between vines. Although it is assumed that such variation also occurs at the grape berry cell wall level, no study to data has investigated in any depth. Here we have used a intra-vineyard panel design to investigate pooled bunches from six vines (per panel) in the context of a winemaking scenario. The dissected vineyard was harvested by separate panels, where each panel was then subjected to a standard winemaking procedure with or without the addition of three different enzyme preparations for maceration.

Microbial stabilization of wines using innovative coiled UV-C reactor process: impact on chemical and organoleptic proprieties

For several years, numerous studies aimed at limiting the use of SO2 in wines (thermal treatments, pulsed electric fields, microwaves …). Processes must be able to preserve the organoleptic qualities of wines with low energy consumption. In this context, ultraviolet radiations (UV-C), at 254 nm, are well known for their germicidal proprieties. In order to inactivate microorganisms in grape juice and wine without affecting the quality of the product, efficiency of UV-C treatment process should be optimized.
