Postharvest ozone treatment in grapevine white cultivars: Effects on grape volatile composition

Abstract

During postharvest management, the metabolism of fruits remains active and continuous physico-chemical changes occur. Ozone treatment has an elicitor effect on secondary metabolites and the treatment conditions can influence the grape response to the stress (Bellincontro et al., 2017; Botondi et al., 2015). Regarding volatile organic compounds (VOCs), previous studies showed that ozone treatment during postharvest dehydration induces the biosynthesis of terpenes in Moscato bianco grapes (Río Segade et al., 2017). It is well known that grape VOCs greatly influence the organoleptic properties of wines, particularly terpenes in aromatic varieties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to know the VOCs response to oxidative stress during postharvest ozone treatment in Galician white cultivars Albariño, Godello and Blanco Lexítimo (Vitis vinifera L.) from Ribeira Sacra wine region (Galicia, Spain). Grape samples from 2021 and 2022 vintages were exposed during 24 hours to ozone (30 mg/L) and air (control) at 10 ºC. Grape free and glycosylated volatile compounds were determined by SPE/GC–MS.

The results obtained showed that the ozone treatment effect on grapes volatiles depends of cultivar and vintage studied. In general, ozone caused an increase of total content of terpenes in all cultivars, however a decrease of C6 compounds was also observed. In free fraction an increase of terpenes was observed in all cultivars by ozone application. However, in bound fraction, terpenes, C13-norisoprenoids and esters showed an increase in Godello (2021) and Blanco lexítimo (2022). Free and bound C6 compounds decreased in all cultivars in 2022 vintage.

Use of the stics crop model as a tool to inform vineyard zonages

STICS est un modèle de culture développé à l’INRA (France) depuis 1996. Il simule les bilans de carbone, d’eau et d’azote dans le système culture-sol, piloté par des données climatiques journaliéres. Il calcule à la fois des variables agricoles (rendement en quantité et qualité) et environnementales (pertes en eau et en azote). Une des originalités de STICS est son adaptabilité à de nombreuses cultures (herbacées, ligneuses, annuelles, pérennes) rendue possible par le choix de paramètres génériques et d’options de formalismes. Le travail présenté traite, dans un premier temps, des spécificités de STICS pour la vigne en terme de bilan trophique, de fonctionnement énergétique et hydrique et d’estimation des teneurs en sucre en en eau du raisin. Nous montrons ensuite diverses sorties du modèle qui permettent de caractériser des terroirs du vignoble des Côtes du Rhône.

Perception, liking and emotional response of tropical fruit aromas in Chardonnay wines

Tropical fruit aromas in wines are thought to be important to wine consumers, although there is little research to confirm this statement. With so many wine styles available, it has become important to understand the qualities that are desirable to consumers and how to achieve those qualities. Thiols and esters are compounds that have been found to cause tropical fruit aromas in chardonnay (ref). Fermentation temperature gradients and skin contact were found to increase these compounds using micro scale fermentations. This work aimed to scale up these fermentations/operations to determine if the desired tropical fruit aromas could still be achieved and if there is a perceivable difference in tropical fruit aromas, liking, and emotional response in the wines at the consumer level.
