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.

Consumer acceptance of sweet wines produced by stopping fermentation with octanoic and decanoic acids

The use of medium chain fatty acids for arresting the fermentation and producing sweet wines was investigated at industrial level. Doses of 10 mg/l of octanoic or decanoic acid and a combination of 5+5 mg/l octanoic and decanoic acid were used to produce sweet wines of tamaioasa romanească variety in volumes of 3000 l.

Publication of the 3rd edition of the OIV ampelographic descriptors

Ampelography is aimed at describing the vine according to several characteristics, such as morphology, agronomic aptitudes, technological potential, and genetics. The description of varieties and species of vitis has long been the subject of numerous scientific and technical studies by eminent specialists for a long time, which have led the OIV to publish in 1983 the “descriptor list for grape varieties and vitis species”, a milestone among the OIV worldwide recognised codes.

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.

Overview on wine and health 32 years after the French paradox 

Phenolic compounds or polyphenols are the most abundant and ubiquitous secondary metabolites present in the plant kingdom with more than 8000 phenolic structures currently known. These compounds play an important role in plant growth and reproduction, providing protection against biotic and abiotic stress such as pathogen and insect attack, UV radiation and wounding. (poly)phenols are widely distributed in the human diet mainly in plant-derived food and beverages (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, tea and red wine).

Viticultura protegida: uso de mallas sombreadoras fotoselectivas como una herramienta para enfrentar la crisis climática en uva de mesa en el norte de Chile

The production of table grapes in Chile is of great importance, being one of the main established fruit crops with over 43,000 hectares distributed across a diverse climate range, from the southern limit of the Atacama desert to the mediterranean zone. Chile is also one of the leading exporters of table grapes. producers must confront the challenges posed by the climate crisis, such as decreased rainfall, increased heatwaves, and extreme temperature events during the growing season, mainly associated with desertification in northern Chile (Atacama and Coquimbo regions).
