Effect of Botrytis cinerea and esca on phenolic composition of berries and wines

Abstract

This study showed that Botrytis cinerea could degrade the phenolic compounds by its enzymatic activity. It led to adiminution of skin’s anthocyanins from 20 % to 50 % and an increase level up to 40 % of individual proanthocyanins, 30 % of the %G and 25% of the %P. Indeed, only 5 % of botrytised grapes are enough to modify negatively the phenolic composition and the organoleptic properties of a wine. Furthermore, this work revealed that esca caused a delay in ripening and led to modifications on grapes: decrease ofthe level of reducing sugar (4 %), anthocyanins (40 %), mDP (5 %) and %P (17 %) and increase of individual proanthocyanins. The tasting allowed to bring to light significant differences on astringency and bitterness which decreased with the percentage of affected grapes.

Influence of light exclusion on anthocyanin composition in ‘Cabernet sauvignon’

The aim of this study was to determine how artificial shading influenced berry development and anthocyanin accumulation in ‘Cabernet sauvignon’. Opaque polypropylene boxes were applied to grape bunches over three different developmental stages.

Evaluation of winegrape anthocyanins in the vineyard using a portable fluorimetric sensor: seasonal and water regime effects

Accumulation of anthocyanins (Anth) on whole winegrape (Vitis vinifera L.) bunches attached to the vine was monitored by a fluorescence-based sensor (Multiplex) on ‘Aleatico’ and ‘Nero d’Avola’. Different water regimes were applied.

Terroir aspects of harvest timing in a cool climate wine region: physiology, berry skin phenolic composition and wine quality

Preliminary experiment of harvest timing was carried out in Eger wine district, Hungary in 2009. In situ physiological responses, berry quality parameters and wine quality of the Kékfrankos grapevine were studied at two growing sites (Eger-K6lyuktet6 – non-stressed, flat vineyard, and Eger-Nagyeged hill – water stressed, steep slope vineyard).

Modification on grape phenolic and aromatic composition due to different leafroll virus infections

Viral diseases are reported to cause several detrimental effects on grapevine. Among them, leafroll, due to single or mixed infection of GLRaV1 and GLRaV3, and rugose wood, associated to GVA, are considered the most widespread and dangerous.

Anthocyanins, flavonols and hydroxycinnamates of eight vitis vinifera cultivars from the balearic islands

In 2008 the anthocyanin, flavonol and hydroxycinnamate (HCT) contents of the skins of five coloured berry cultivars (‘Escursac’, ‘Esperó de Gall’, ‘Galmeter’, ‘Valent negre’ and ‘Vinater negre’), of two white cultivars (‘Argamussa’ and ‘Prensal blanc’) and of one weakly rose cultivar (‘Giró ros’), native from Balearic Islands, were characterized.
