Optimization of aroma production in grape cell suspensions induced by chemical elicitor

Abstract

Methyl-jasmonate (MeJA) induces the production of at least 25 compounds with sesquiterpene- like mass spectra in “Cabernet sauvignon”. The most effective concentration of MeJA in stimulating the production of sesquiterpenes was found to be 500 µM if added when the cell suspensions had a PCV of 35 %, and 1000 if added when the cell suspensions had a PCV of 70 %. The production of sesquiterpenes quickly decreased with the increase of cell suspension PCV at the moment of MeJA addition. The production of sequiterpenes began 12 hours after the addition of MeJA, and reached a maximum 72 hours after MeJA addition. MeJA also induced a significantly greater amount of proanthocyanidins and stilbenes in the grape cell cultures.

Seed phenolics oxidation: development of a new ripening index 

During ripening seed tannins evolve, as demonstrated by the taste and color changes. In this work we tried to develop an objective, easy and fast index, useful for winemakers. In this direction we propose two different spectrophotometric indexes, one related to the molecular structure and tannin subunits linkages, and the other related to the antioxidant properties. Especially the second one gave very interesting and unexpected results.
