Autochthonous non-Saccharomyces extra-cellular metabolism of tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine

Abstract

Amino acids are crucial nitrogen sources in yeast metabolism, influencing both biomass production and fermentation rate. The breakdown byproducts of amino acids contribute to the aroma of the wine and wine’s health benefit compounds. This study focused on the yeast’s extracellular metabolic profile of tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine belonging to the group of aromatic amino acids in experimental Maraština wines. Alcoholic fermentations were conducted on sterile grape Maraština must using seven autochthonous non-Saccharomycesyeasts in sequential fermentation with commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Trials were performed with isolates Metschnikowia pulcherrima K-6, Metschnikowia chyrsoperlae K-11, Metschnikowia sinensis/shanxiensis P-7, Lachancea thermotolerans P-25, Pichia kluyveri Z-3, Hanseniaspora uvarum Z-7, and Hanseniaspora guillermondii N-29, each in triplicate. The control treatment involved commercial strains L. thermotolerans, M. pulcherrima, and S. cerevisiae. A UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS method was employed to monitor 37 metabolites, with 26 detected in the extracellular extracts produced by yeasts. The most significant changes in the concentration of identified compounds occurred in M. sinensis/shanxiensis/S. cerevisiae and H. guillermondii/S. cerevisiae ferments. M. sinensis/shanxiensiswith S. cerevisiae produced higher amounts of N-acetyl derivatives of tryptophan and phenylalanine, as well as xanthurenic acid and tyramine. Wines produced by H. guillermondii in sequential fermentation with S. cerevisiae had the highest concentration of L-kynurenine and 3-hydroxy anthranilic acid. These findings contribute to our understanding of how autochthonous non-Saccharomyces yeasts contribute to the aroma profile of wines, providing new insights into biotechnological tools for the production of wine starter cultures.

Influence of must fining on oxygen consumption rate, oxidation susceptibility and electrochemical characteristics of different white grape musts

AIM: Pre-fermentative fining is one of the central steps of white wine production. Mainly aiming at reducing the levels of suspended solids, juice fining can also assist in reducing the content of oxidizable phenolics and therefore the susceptibility of juice to oxidation.

Fermentative volatile compounds and chromatic characteristics can contribute to Italian white wines diversity

Perceived aroma plays an important role in wine quality, and it depends mainly on the volatile composition. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from grapes and those formed during winemaking are involved in the sensory complexity of wines. In aroma-neutral winegrape varieties, the winemaking process itself, and particularly alcoholic fermentation (AF), impacts strongly on the organoleptic characteristics of wines due to the formation of volatile alcohols, acids, and esters. In addition, phenolic compounds could contribute not only to the wine color but also to VOCs evolution during AF.

Correspondence between physiological plant variables and carbon isotope composition in different climate winegrape regions

The climate is the environmental factor that contributes with greater weight in the variability of the yield and the composition of the grape, therefore, it is key in the determination of the typicity of the product. Of the environmental factors, the evolution of water availability conditions, among other things, the biochemical evolution of the compounds of the grape and the type of wine to be elaborated. An integrating parameter of the hydric state of the plant is the carbon isotopic composition (δ13C). This indicator is a useful parameter to characterize the water status during the maturation period and estimate the transpiration efficiency or water use efficiency (EUA) in the vine.

Mapping of canopy features in commercial vineyards using machine vision

Vineyard canopy features such canopy porosity and fruit exposure influenced microclimate, fungal disease incidence and grape composition. An objective, rapid and non-invasive method to assess and map the canopy status is needed to apply in precision viticulture. A new method for canopy status assessment and mapping based on non-invasive machine vision was applied in commercial vineyards in this work.
