Ozone to improve the implantation of Lachancea thermotolerans for improving pH in warm areas in wines with low SO2 levels

Abstract

One of the most powerful biotechnologies for lowering pH in wines from warm zones and in high pH varieties is the use of the non-Saccharomyces Lachancea thermotolerans yeast. This species is capable of producing lactic acid from sugars while slightly reducing the alcohol content, which therefore ameliorates two of the main problems of wines from regions affected by global warming. Lactic acid is an organic acid with good sensory integration in wine flavor, and also chemically and biologically stable during wine aging. The use of L. thermotolerans can help reduce the pH from 4.0, a value that is common in the Tempranillo variety in many regions of Spain, to 3.4-3.6 which is a safe value to keep wines fresher and more stable during barrel aging. In addition, depending on the strain, the use of L. thermotolerans can improve the sensory profile of the wine by producing esters and other aromatic compounds. The use of ozonated water to clean and sanitize grapes is a very interesting strategy to eliminate competitive wild yeasts while reducing the use of SO2. The objective of this research is to show the effect of ozonated water in the use of sequential fermentations with L. thermotolerans to acidify Tempranillo wines in the absence of SO2.

Ozono para mejorar la implantación de lachancea thermotolerans y disminuir/corregir el ph en vinos con bajos niveles de so2 de zonas cálidas

Una de las biotecnologías más potentes para disminuir el ph en vinos de zonas cálidas y en variedades de ph elevado es el uso de la levadura no-saccharomyces lachancea thermotolerans. Esta especie es capaz de formar ácido láctico a partir de azúcares, reduciendo al mismo tiempo ligeramente el grado alcohólico. Por lo tanto, mejora dos de los principales problemas de los vinos de regiones afectadas por el calentamiento global. El ácido láctico es un ácido orgánico con una buena integración sensorial en el sabor del vino, y también química y biológicamente estable durante el envejecimiento del vino. El uso de l. Thermotolerans puede ayudar a reducir el ph de 4,0 (un valor que es común en la variedad tempranillo en muchas regiones de españa) a 3,4-3,6 que es un valor seguro para mantener los vinos más frescos y estables durante el envejecimiento en barrica. Además, dependiendo de la cepa, el uso de l. Thermotolerans puede mejorar el perfil sensorial del vino mediante la producción de ésteres y otros compuestos aromáticos. El principal problema con l. Thermotolerans es la implantación, especialmente en vinos tintos, en los que las levaduras salvajes de los hollejos pueden ser fuertemente competitivas evitando un buen desarrollo y acidificación. Además, l. Thermotolerans es muy sensible al so2. El uso de agua ozonizada para limpiar e higienizar la uva es una estrategia muy interesante para eliminar las levaduras silvestres competitivas al tiempo que se reduce el uso de so2. El objetivo de esta investigación es mostrar el efecto del agua ozonizada en el uso de fermentaciones secuenciales con l. Thermotolerans para acidificar vinos tempranillo en ausencia de SO2.

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.

Assessing the feasibility of direct injection for pesticide residue analysis in grape juice by liquid chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

In Brazil, the regulation of pesticide residues is guided by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA), emphasizing the importance of monitoring pesticide levels in agricultural products to protect consumer health.

Evaluation of the enological potential of red grapes in southern Brazil

The Campanha Gaúcha is located in the pampa biome and has unique characteristics, as it is the hottest producing region with the lowest volume of rain in Southern Brazil. Furthermore, the large extensions of flat or low-sloping areas, harsh winters and great sunshine during the ripening period, made this the second largest producer of fine wines in Brazil.

Enhancing grapevine transformation and regeneration: A novel approach using developmental regulators and BeYDV-mediated expression

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a challenging plant species to transform and regenerate due to its complex genome and biological characteristics. This limits the development of cisgenic and gene-edited varieties. One hurdle is selecting the best starting tissue for the transformation process, much like isolating suitable tissue for protoplasts. One promising method involves delivering crispr/cas components to protoplasts isolated from embryogenic calli, which are then induced to regenerate.

Viticulture between adaptation and resilience: the role of the Italian long-term observatories for vineyard energy, water and carbon budgets

Viticulture is exposed to a range of new stressors, that are challenging its sustainability and disrupting famous and well-established production regions. Steady increase of average temperature, recurring heat waves, altered rainfall seasonal distribution, drought spells, increased pathogens pressure, they all mix up with increased frequency, making every growing season a special challenge and calling for new approaches to cope with worrying scenarios.
