Changes in wine secondary metabolites composition by the timing of inoculation with lactic acid bacteria: impact on wine aroma

PAs are compartmentalised within the grape berry, and differ in their composition and degree of extractability. Within each compartment, the CWM limits PA extraction firstly by its degree of permeability and secondly its ability to complex with PA molecules.

In this study for the first time, eight natural stilbenes (trans-resveratrol, trans-piceid, cis-piceid, trans-astringin, trans-piceatannol, (+)-trans-s-viniferin, pallidol and hopeaphenol) isolated and purified from Vitis vinifera, were simultaneously separated and analysed within 5 mn by ultra high pressure liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection.

‘Cabernet sauvignon’ and ‘Merlot’ are among the most recognized red wine grape cultivars. This work is aimed at investigating the proanthocyanidin composition of skins and seeds to determine the grape variety and the vintage effects on the phenolic composition of Bordeaux grapes.

Protein stabilization is an important part of the winemaking process of white wines, and in this work we present the results of protein stabilization of different monovarietal wines (Xarel.lo, Chardonnay, and Muscat) by a continuous stabilizing filtration process using a column packed with zirconium oxide operating in a continuous regime in a closed loop at pilot scale.

The present paper reports the development of an optimized method for simultaneous analysis of
8 biogenic amines (Histamine, Methylamine, Ethylamine, Tyramine, Putrescine, Cadaverine, Phenethylamine, and Isoamylamine). It is based on a method developed by Gomez-Alonso et al. in 2007.
