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

Abstract

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. The total anthocyanin content varied from 388.4 mg kg-1 berry weight (‘Esperó de Gall’) to 1067.2 (‘Valent negre’). The ratio between tri and di-hydroxylated anthocyanins varied from 3.5 of ‘Vinater negre’ to 12.3 of ‘Escursac’. In ‘Valent negre’ delphinidin 3-O-glucoside was the prevalent anthocyanin (28 % of total amount). The total flavonol content ranged from 10.1 mg kg-1 in the white ‘Argamussa’ to about 178 mg kg-1 in ‘Esperó de Gall’ and ‘Vinater negre’. Quercetins were the prevalent flavonols in most cultivars except ‘Valent negre’, characterized by the prevalence of myricetin 3-O-glucoside and ‘Galmeter’ where kaempferol 3-O-glucoside accounted for 32.4 % of flavonol total amount. The skin total content of hydroxycinnamates was low in all cultivars (from 1.5 to 11.4 mg kg-1) probably because of the very hot and dry climatic conditions of the cultivation site.

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.

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.

Postharvest elicitors and metabolic changes in wine grape berries

Wine grape berries respond to postharvest treatments with specific gaseous elicitors in terms of metabolic changes and composition. Short-term (3 days) high (30 KPa) CO2 treatment affects phenol compound concentration in skins of ‘Trebbiano toscano’ berries.

Influence of different environments on grape phenolic and aromatic composition of threeclone of ‘nebbiolo’ (Vitis Vinifera L.)

The interaction between cultivar and growing environment is the base of wine quality and typicality. In recent time the behaviour of different clones within the same cultivar became another fundamental factor influencing the enological result. In order to clarify cultivar/clone/environment relations, a trial was carried out in 2008 studying the performances of three clones of ‘Nebbiolo’, grown in different environments: south-east Piedmont (hilly and characterized by a loamy and alkaline soil) and north-east Piedmont (a plain area characterized by a sandy and acidic soil).

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

This study showed that Botrytis cinerea could degrade the phenolic compounds by its enzymatic activity. It led to a diminution 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.
