“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.

Bioprotection en phase pré-fermentaire, synthèse de 3 ans d’expérimentations dans différentes régions viticoles

With growing consumer interest in products without chemical additives, limiting the use of sulfites is a priority for the wine industry. Bioprotection is a biological alternative that avoids or reduces the risks of alterations that have a negative impact on the organoleptic quality of wines and, ultimately, on their acceptability to consumers. bioprotection can also provide a response to the risks of microbiological deviations, which are increased both by climate change and by the organization of harvesting operations, which increasingly include the use of multi-bins filled at the vine, exposing the harvest to sometimes high temperatures for longer periods of time.

Oenological potential of wines and agronomical characterisation of grapes from five white resistant Italian varieties at Serra Gaúcha, Southern Brazil

Rio grande do sul is the main grape producing state in Brazil, with the largest wine-growing area, responsible by 90% of the national production of wines and grape juices. Serra Gaúcha is the main vitivinicultural region, where around 15% of the area is destined to produce wines from vitis vinifera L. grapes. This region presents high rainfall during the grape maturation cycle, a factor that leads to great risk of attacks by fungal pathogens. the use of resistant varieties can reduce the cost and quantity of spraying, improving wine quality, focusing on a sustainable vitiviniculture.

Impact of yeast strains on wine profiles of nine PIWIs: focus on volatile thiols

Disease resistant grapevine varieties (PIWI) are increasingly important for sustainable wine production, yet the impact of different yeasts on their wine profiles remains poorly studied. In this study, nine white interspecies varieties (i.e., caladris blanc, fleurtai, hibernal, johanniter, muscaris, sauvignon kretos, soreli, souvignier gris, and voltis) grown at the faculty of agriculture, university of Zagreb (Croatia) were vinified with three different saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts (control strain, zymaflore x5, and zymaflore xarom).

Unconventional methods to delve deeper into the influence of temperature and nutrition on Chardonnay wine profiles

Temperature and yeast nutrition profoundly impact wine quality and sensory attributes by modulating yeast aroma production and release during fermentation. While temperature and nitrogen’s individual effects are well-studied, their combined influence, including nutrient type and addition timing, remains underexplored. hence, this study aimed to investigate the simultaneous effects of these factors on fermentation kinetics, aroma production and sensory profile, particularly in a Chardonnay wine production selected as a quite aromatically neutral base.

Chitosan from mushroom by-products: sustainable extraction process and winemaking application

Chitosan is a biopolymer industrially obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide on earth, after cellulose. It is extracted from various terrestrial and marine resources, including insects, grasshoppers, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, squids, and fungi. chitosan has a polycationic character due to the free amine groups along its chemical backbone, and depending on its deacetylation degree (DD) and molecular weight (MW), it shows variable properties that differ from those of other natural polysaccharides.
