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.

Long-term vineyard sustainability index

The impact of viticulture on soil can be determined by comparing the biophysical properties that represent soil health at a particular site and depth with those same properties in soil considered to represent the ‘pre-vineyard’ state (the headland). Information gathered by this method shows the changes in soil properties following the change to viticulture depend on individual vineyard management and environment.

Vitamins in musts : an unexplored field

Vitamins are major compounds, involved in several prime yeast metabolic pathways. Yet, their significance in oenology has remained mostly unexplored for several decades and our current knowledge on the matter still remaining obscure to this day. While the vitaminic contents of grape musts have been approached in these ancient investigation

Metabolic response of vitis vinifera and interspecific vitis sp. varieties to heat stress, water deficit and combined stress, using a metabolomic approach

As greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, climate projections indicate an increased likelihood of heat waves and drier conditions in canada. these changes pose significant challenges to grapevine cultivation, particularly during critical growth stages such as new plantings. interspecific hybrid grape varieties, developed through different breeding programs that combine vitis vinifera with more robust species like v. riparia and v. labrusca varieties, are often touted for their potential resilience to environmental stress.

Terroir aspects in development of quality of Egri bikavér

Egri Bikavér (Bull’s Blood) is one of the most remarkable Hungarian red wines on inland and foreign markets as well. From the end of the 70’s the quality of Egri Bikavér was decreasing continually due to mass production. The concept of production of quality wines became general in the mid 90’s again and it resulted in a new Origin Control System, for the first time that of Egri Bikavér in Hungary.

Effect of irrigation and soil type on root growth and distribution of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Nero d’Avola grown in Sicily

L’essai a été effectué dans un vignoble du cépage Nero d’Avola greffé sur 1103 Paulsen dans un terroir de la D.O.C Alcamo en Sicile. Le système de conduite des vignes était à espalier, la taille à cordon coursonné et l’irrigation à goutte a goutte. On a été confrontés trois types de traitements: A) vignes non irriguées; B) vignes irriguées quand le
