Polysaccharides and glycerol production by non-Saccharomyces wine yeasts in mixed fermentation

Abstract

A great variability in the amount of polysaccharides recovered at the end of fermentations carried out by pure cultures of 89 non-Saccharomyces yeasts was observed. The utilization of the best polysaccharides producers in mixed cultures with S. cerevisiae resulted in considerable increases in the final concentration of polysaccharides and showed a strain dependent effect on glycerol production as compared to pure culture of S. cerevisiae. Thus, selected non-Saccharomyces yeasts may positively interact with S. cerevisiae, and represent potential and innovative tools to increase wine complexity.

Investigation of the effect of gelatine and egg albumin fining and cross-flow microfiltration on the phenolic composition of Pinotage red wine

Results indicated that cross-flow microfiltration removed similarly to fining treatments the most astringent tannins, but cross-flow microfiltration also removed up to 14 % more colour. RP-HPLC and spectrophotometric results showed that egg albumin is a softer fining treatment compared to gelatine and cross-flow microfiltration.

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.

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.

Study of varietal wines from the qualified origin denomination Rioja (Spain): analysis of wine colour, polysaccharides, polyphenols and biogenic amines and amino acides 

The cultivar with a greater oenological potential was ‘Monastel’, which showed overall better values than ‘Tempranillo’ in colour intensity, total polyphenol index, wine colour, total anthocyanins, resveratrol and gallic acid.
