Sustainable wine industry: supercritical fluid extraction as key technology for biorefinery enhancement

Abstract

Supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) extraction is an environmentally friendly technology employed for bioactive compounds recovery from various natural sources and biomasses. The advantages of sc-co2 extraction include its selectivity, relatively mild operating conditions, which minimize the degradation of sensitive compounds, and the absence of potentially harmful organic solvents.  The inherent versatility of the supercritical fluid extraction (sfe) system, facilitating the application of successive or sequential extraction conditions, offers the potential for a selective recovery process of both nonpolar and polar fractions from grape marc or pomace, which is the main solid byproduct of the wine industry. Excellent results have recently been obtained by carrying out both the extraction with supercritical co2 from grape marc, recovering surprising amounts of policosanols (about 4 g/kg dm), and sc-co2 extraction with co-solvent for polyphenols (about 2 g gae/100 g dm). It has been recently reported policosanol effectiveness in treating metabolic syndromes such as dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.   The superior quality of sc-co2 extracts, surpassing that of other extraction technologies, contributes significantly to their heightened added value. Finally, the raffinate phase of sc-co2 extracted grape marc, exhausted of bioactive compounds via sfe, can still be used in other biorefinery processes.

Industria vitivinícola sostenible: extracción con fluidos supercríticos como tecnología clave para la mejora de la biorrefinería

La extracción de co2 supercrítico (sc-CO2) es una tecnología respetuosa con el medio ambiente que se utiliza para la recuperación de compuestos bioactivos de diversas fuentes naturales y biomasa. Las ventajas de la extracción sc-co2 incluyen selectividad, condiciones operativas relativamente suaves, que minimizan la degradación de compuestos térmicamente sensibles y la ausencia de disolventes orgánicos potencialmente dañinos.   La versatilidad intrínseca del sistema de extracción con fluidos supercríticos (sfe), que permite la aplicación de condiciones de extracción sucesivas o secuenciales, ofrece la posibilidad de realizar una recuperación selectiva de las fracciones tanto apolares como polares del orujo, que son el principal subproducto sólido. De la industria del vino. Recientemente se han obtenido excelentes resultados realizando tanto la extracción con co2 supercrítico del orujo, recuperando cantidades sorprendentes de policosanoles (unos 4 g/kg d.s.), como la extracción sc-co2 con cosolvente de los polifenoles (unos 2 g gae / 100 g de materia seca). Recientemente se ha informado de la eficacia de los policosanoles en el tratamiento de síndromes metabólicos como la dislipidemia, la diabetes, la hipertensión y la obesidad. La calidad superior de los extractos sc-co2, que supera a la de otras tecnologías de extracción, contribuye significativamente a su mayor valor añadido. Finalmente, la fase refinada del orujo, desprovista de compuestos bioactivos extraídos mediante sfe, aún se puede utilizar en otros procesos de biorrefinería.

Industria sostenibile del vino: estrazione con fluidi supercritici quale tecnologia chiave per il potenziamento della bioraffineria

L’estrazione con co2 supercritica (sc-CO2) è una tecnologia rispettosa dell’ambiente utilizzata per il recupero di composti bioattivi da varie fonti naturali e da biomasse. I vantaggi dell’estrazione con sc-co2 includono selettività, condizioni operative relativamente blande, che riducono al minimo la degradazione di composti termicamente sensibili, e l’assenza di solventi organici potenzialmente dannosi.  La versatilità intrinseca del sistema di estrazione con fluidi supercritici (sfe) che permette l’applicazione di condizioni di estrazione successive o sequenziali, offre la possibilità di effettuare un recupero selettivo di frazioni sia apolari che polari dalle vinacce, che sono il principale sottoprodotto solido dell’industria del vino.   Ottimi risultati sono stati recentemente ottenuti effettuando sia l’estrazione con co2 supercritica da vinacce, recuperando quantità sorprendenti di policosanoli (circa 4 g/kg s.s.), sia l’estrazione sc-co2 con co-solvente dei polifenoli (circa 2 g gae/ 100 g ss). E’ stata recentemente riportata l’efficacia dei policosanoli nel trattamento di sindromi metaboliche come dislipidemia, diabete, ipertensione e obesità. La qualità superiore degli estratti sc-co2, che supera quella di altre tecnologie di estrazione, contribuisce in modo determinante al loro maggiore valore aggiunto. Infine, la fase raffinata delle vinacce, esaurita di composti bioattivi estratti via  sfe, può ancora essere utilizzata in altri processi di bioraffineria.

From vine to wine : a multi-trait experiment for increasing the varietal diversity in the bordeaux wine region. How to adapt to climate change without damaging terroir expression?

Context and purpose of the study climate change is impacting wine typicity across the globe, raising concerns in wine regions historically renowned for the quality of their terroir. Replacing some of the plant material can be an efficient lever for adapting to climate change. However, the change of cultivars also raises questions about the region’s wine typicity. This study, based on seven years of data, investigates the potential adaptability of over 50 different varieties in the bordeaux wine region.

A population genetic study of Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sylvestris Gmelin based on 3.000 individuals from 20 countries

Until the 19th century, the wild form of cultivated grapevines (vitis vinifera l. subsp. sylvestris gmelin, v. sylvestris) was ubiquitous in many european and west asian regions. However, many factors like deforestation, the intensification of agriculture, or the introduction of several pests and pathogens decimated its presence in these growing sites, and natural populations are now mostly restricted to river-bank forests and creeks with specific soil and climate conditions. in fact, v. sylvestris is now considered an endangered subspecies that is protected by law in many european countries to prevent its loss.

Novel ATR-FTIR and UV-Vis spectral markers for assessing the Prooxidant/Antioxidant Balance (PAB) in white wines

The browning index (BI), based on the absorbance at 420 nm, is a common oxidation marker in white wines, typically measured after thermal stress (50–60 °C for 5 up to 12 days) in air-saturated wines.

Successful training on responsible wine consumption in Germany

Considering that „prevention requires information”, in 2007, the european education program wine in moderation (wim) started. The common message of responsible and only moderate wine consumption is implemented in each participating country, adapted to national circumstances. In germany, besides recruiting new wim members from the wine sector, the deutsche weinakademie focusses also on information and education of future wine makers and cellar men in professional schools. The seminars cover basic information about the existing legal framework (youth protecting law, drink driving laws, etc.), the self regulation code of conduct for commercial communications (advertising) of alcoholic beverages as well as the health effects of alcoholic beverages, and of wine in particular.
