Effectiveness of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on tartaric stabilization of cava base wine

Abstract

Recent EU regulations allow the use of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as a stabilization agent in wine. We tested CMC in bases for sparkling wines, which must be stabilized before the second fermentation that raises alcohol concentration by 1,5%. Our results show that CMC was able to stabilize wine against potassium bitartrate precipitation even when alcohol concentration was increased. stability was controlled by the Boulton’s test and by analyzing conductivity at -2°C. However if the wine was not completely stable the addition of CMC caused the appearance of a filamentous precipitate.

Ultra high pressure liquid chromatography for stilbenes separation and their determination in Burgundy red wines

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.

Identification and quantification of c-glucosidic ellagitannins and their derivative in red wine aged in oak barrels

The C-glycosidic ellagitannins constitute a subclass of hydrolyzable tannins of remarkable structural diversity. In this work we first achieved the hemisynthesis of flavano-ellagitannins, then we used them to develop a new efficient detection and quantification procedure for the C-glycosidic ellagitannins as well as flavano-ellagitannins.

Protein stabilization of white wines by stabilizing filtration: pilot studies

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.

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

For the first time, it was established that the timing of inoculation with LAB could significantly impact the concentration of many secondary metabolites leading to significant aromatic changes. From studied compounds, the most influenced were esters and diacetyl.

Evolution of biogenic amines content in wine during sample conservation – method optimisation for analysis of biogenicamines

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.
