“Gentle” sustainable extraction from whole berry by using resonance waves and slight over CO2 overpressure

Abstract

The traditional methods of grape extraction of enochemical compounds use very often mechanical energy by pistons such as the pigeage or mechanical energy produced by must (delestage, pumping over). Recent trend by winemaker is trying to introduce in the fermentation tank, whole berry grape to avoid even minimal oxidation. Unfortunately, the use of the traditional mechanical techniques aforementioned, very often does not guarantee the optimal extraction of polyphenols and above all does not assure an uniform temperature in the vessel. Use of resonance waves (AM =AIRMIXING MI TM) or a slight overpressure by CO2 (ADCFTM) permits to work on whole berry guaranteeing the perfect extraction and homogenize the temperature and the oxygen in all the mass. In AM, the great goal to have an uniform temperature in all the tank, permits the winemaker to decide which temperature using to ferment and to extract depending on the wine style she/he wants to reach. This presentation we will summarize data on experimental works done with these two techniques and we show, beyond the theoretical explanation, the kinetic of extraction of different phenol classes and of volatile organic compounds even in the production of wine without sulfite addition.

Estrazione gentile e sostenibile da acino intero utilizzando onde di risonanza e sovrapressione

I metodi tradizionali di estrazione dei composti enochimici dall’uva utilizzano molto spesso l’energia meccanica mediante pistoni come il pigeage o l’energia meccanica prodotta dal mosto (delestage, rimontaggi). La recente tendenza dell’enologo sta cercando di introdurre nel serbatoio di fermentazione l’uva a bacca intera per evitare anche la minima ossidazione. Purtroppo, l’utilizzo delle tradizionali tecniche meccaniche sopra citate, molto spesso non garantiscono l’estrazione ottimale con rimanenza di zuccheri residui nelle vinacce. L’utilizzo di onde di risonanza (airmixingtm) e una leggera sovrapressione da parte di CO2 (adcftm) permettono di lavorare sull’acino intero garantendo la perfetta estrazione. In questa presentazione presenteremo i dati di un lavoro sperimentale svolto con queste due tecniche in cui mostriamo, oltre alla spiegazione teorica, la cinetica di estrazione di diverse classi fenoliche e anche di composti organici volatili anche nella produzione di vino senza aggiunta di solfiti.

Extraction douce et durable de baies entières par ondes de résonance et surpression

Les méthodes traditionnelles d’extraction des composés œnochimiques du raisin utilisent très souvent de l’énergie mécanique par pistons comme le pigeage ou de l’énergie mécanique produite par le moût (délestage, remontage). La tendance récente des vignerons consiste à introduire dans la cuve de fermentation des raisins à baies entières pour éviter même une oxydation minime. Malheureusement, l’utilisation des techniques mécaniques traditionnelles évoquées plus haut, ne garantit bien souvent pas une extraction optimale des sucres résiduels dans le marc. L’utilisation d’ondes de résonance (airmixingtm) et d’une légère surpression de CO2 (adcftm) permettent de travailler sur baie entière garantissant une extraction parfaite. Dans cette présentation nous présenterons les données d’un travail expérimental réalisé avec ces deux techniques où nous montrons, au-delà de l’explication théorique, la cinétique d’extraction de différentes classes de phénols ainsi que de composés organiques volatils même dans la production de vin sans ajout de sulfites.

Egg allergens in wine. Validation of a new automated method for ovalbumin quantification

Ovalbumin (ova), a natural clarifying protein, is particularly suitable for clarifying red wines. It helps improve the tannic and polyphenolic stability of the wine by removing the most astringent tannins and contributing to soften and refine the structure. Ova binds to suspended particles, proteins, polysaccharides, and, to a lesser extent, tannins through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, forming large complexes that can be removed from the wine through fining and/or filtration before bottling.

Is complex nutrition more advantageous than mineral nitrogen for the fermentative capacities of S. cerevisiae?

During alcoholic fermentation, nitrogen is an essential nutrient for yeast as it plays a key role in sugar transport and biosynthesis of wine aromatic compounds (thiols, esters, higher alcohols). The main issue of a lack in yeast assimilable nitrogen (yan) in winemaking is sluggish or stuck fermentations promoting the growth of alteration species which may lead to economic losses. However, correcting this nitrogen deficiency is sometimes not enough to restore proper fermentation performance. This suggests the existence of other nutritional shortages.

Contribution of grape seeds to evolution of acetaldehyde, pigments and tannins reactive towards salivary proteins of red wine over time

This study investigated the impact of the gsk/gse ratio on the evolution of acetaldehyde and of major phenolic compounds of aglianico wine in wine like solution and real wine. Four model solutions and the correspondant control wines were prepared. The natural weight ratio between grape skins and seeds was determined on the real grapes, and a control wine was obtained from those.

Carbon footprint in Austrian viticulture – Evaluation of the main polluters and possible solutions in entire the production chain

The sustainability certification ‘nachhaltig austria’ (www.sustainableaustria.com) has been offered to austrian wineries in an online version for 10 years and over 25% of the austrian wine-growing area is now certified. Since the 2022 harvest, ‘nachhaltig austria’ has automatically calculated the carbon footprint for each winery, per hectare of vineyard, per litre of bulk wine and per 0.75-litre bottle (poelz, w. And rosner, f.g. 2023). In last year’s publications and numerous presentations at national and international level, topics such as refilling glass bottles, lightweight glass bottles, renewable energy, … Etc.

Plastic cover film on table grapes from field to cold storage

Plastic film covering is a technique largely used in viticulture to protect table grapes vines from adverse weather conditions and to reduce the negative effects of grapevine fungi disease. Plastic film composition affects solar radiation income inside the covering with effects on sunlight wavelengths in relation to different absorbance and reflectance. The interaction of selected light ranges with vines could influence grape ripening and yield and consequently influence shelf life.
