Growth in global table grape production and consumption is fueled by the introduction of new seedless varieties

Abstract

Table grape consumption worldwide has experienced a remarkable growth in the first two decades of the 21st century, becoming the third most consumed fresh fruit in some countries, after bananas and apples. This increase has been attributed to several reasons, including the availability of seedless grapes, which has been a key factor in the increase in consumption. These grapes are appreciated for their convenience, as they can be consumed directly as a pre-prepared convenience product, without the need for factory processing, facilitating their inclusion in the daily diet of many people. The new table grapes are known for their crunchy texture and the relatively large size of their berries, characteristics that have contributed to their appeal, offering a pleasant sensory experience when consumed. The diversity of flavors of table grapes, such as muscat, foxé, or the combination of both, has been an additional factor that has attracted consumers. The sweet taste, sometimes similar to candy, has made table grapes a popular choice, especially among those looking for healthy and tasty snack alternatives. The high content of phenolic compounds and the antioxidant capacity of grapes are characteristics highly valued by consumers and may also have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health and may contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases, in addition to combating oxidative stress in the body associated with aging and the development of various diseases, so consuming foods rich in antioxidants, such as grapes, can help maintain cellular health, being recognized as a very healthy fruit.

El crecimiento de la producción y el consumo mundiales de uva de mesa se ve impulsado por la introducción de nuevas variedades apirenas

El consumo mundial de uva de mesa ha experimentado un notable crecimiento en las dos primeras décadas del siglo xxi, convirtiéndose en la tercera fruta fresca más consumida en algunos países, después del plátano y la manzana. Este incremento se ha atribuido a varias razones, entre ellas la disponibilidad de uvas sin pepitas, que ha sido un factor clave en el aumento del consumo. Estas uvas son apreciadas por su comodidad, ya que pueden consumirse directamente como producto de cuarta gama, sin necesidad de procesado en fábrica, lo que facilita su inclusión en la dieta diaria de muchas personas. Las nuevas uvas de mesa son conocidas por su textura crujiente y el tamaño relativamente grande de sus granos, características que han contribuido a su atractivo, ofreciendo una agradable experiencia sensorial al consumirlas. La diversidad de sabores de las uvas de mesa, como moscatel, foxé o la combinación de ambos, ha sido un factor adicional que ha atraído a los consumidores. Su sabor dulce, a veces similar al de un caramelo, ha hecho de la uva de mesa una opción popular, especialmente entre quienes buscan alternativas de aperitivo sanas y sabrosas. El alto contenido en compuestos fenólicos y la capacidad antioxidante de las uvas son características muy valoradas por los consumidores y también pueden tener efectos beneficiosos sobre la salud cardiovascular y contribuir a la prevención de enfermedades crónicas, además de combatir el estrés oxidativo del organismo asociado al envejecimiento y al desarrollo de diversas enfermedades, por lo que consumir alimentos.

Das wachstum der weltweiten tafeltraubenproduktion und des verbrauchs wird durch die einführung neuer kernloser sorten angekurbelt

Der weltweite verbrauch von tafeltrauben hat in den ersten beiden jahrzehnten des 21. Jahrhunderts einen bemerkenswerten anstieg erfahren und ist in einigen ländern nach bananen und äpfeln zur drittmeist verzehrten frischfrucht geworden. Dieser anstieg ist auf mehrere gründe zurückzuführen, darunter die verfügbarkeit kernloser trauben, die ein schlüsselfaktor für den anstieg des verbrauchs ist. Diese trauben werden wegen ihrer bequemlichkeit geschätzt, da sie direkt als vorgefertigtes convenience-produkt verzehrt werden können, ohne dass sie in der fabrik verarbeitet werden müssen, was ihre aufnahme in die tägliche ernährung vieler menschen erleichtert. Die neuen tafeltrauben sind für ihre knackige textur und die relativ großen beeren bekannt, eigenschaften, die zu ihrer attraktivität beigetragen haben und beim verzehr ein angenehmes sensorisches erlebnis bieten. Die vielfalt der geschmacksrichtungen von tafeltrauben, wie muskat, foxé oder eine kombination aus beiden, ist ein weiterer faktor, der die verbraucher angezogen hat. Der süße geschmack, der manchmal an süßigkeiten erinnert, hat tafeltrauben zu einer beliebten wahl gemacht, vor allem für diejenigen, die auf der suche nach gesunden und schmackhaften snack-alternativen sind. Der hohe gehalt an phenolischen verbindungen und die antioxidative kapazität von weintrauben sind eigenschaften, die von den verbrauchern sehr geschätzt werden. Sie können sich auch positiv auf die kardiovaskuläre gesundheit auswirken und zur vorbeugung chronischer krankheiten beitragen sowie den oxidativen stress im körper bekämpfen, der mit dem altern und der entwicklung verschiedener krankheiten einhergeht.

Determination of steviol glycosides in wine by HPLC

The SCL laboratory in Bordeaux is one of the two official control laboratories for wine and wine products in france, under the authority of the ministry of finance and two of its general directorates: the DGCCRF (directorate general for competition, consumer affairs and fraud control) and the DGDDI (directorate general of customs and excise duties). In this capacity, it verifies the regulatory compliance of wines and investigates any possible falsifications or fraud. Steviol glycosides are natural sweeteners that are not authorized as additives in wine.

Legal and economic evolution of the Japanese wine industry in the 21st century

Historically bounded by strict regulations with a focus on taxation since the 19th century, the japanese wine industry stands at a crossroads in the 21st century, necessitated by alignment with international standards and opening towards global markets.

An effective approach to mitigating ochratoxin A (OTA) levels in wine with minor impact on wine quality

OTA occurrence in wine is well-documented, with higher levels typically found in red (< 0.01-7.63 μg/l), followed by rose (0.01-2.40 μg/l) and white wine (<0.01-1.72 μg/l). Incidence rates are nOTAble, with studies showing OTA present in 53% of 521 red wines, 69% of 98 rose, and 61% of 301 white wines analysed. In europe, wine is estimated to be the second source of OTA intake after cereals. Since 2006, the maximum allowable limit for OTA in wine is 2 μg/l, according to regulation (ec) no. 1881/2006.

Overcoming habit formation in the production of wine

Evidence indicates that climate change affects the environment, human health, and well-being via drought, increasing greenhouse effect, and climatic catastrophes. As the wine sector is also negatively affected by climate change, the role of climate change mitigation and adaptation policies is important in wine production. One example of an adaptation policy is the implementation of grapevine genetics (duchene, 2016), while organic farming may be used as an approach to mitigate the consequences of climate change (vinci et al., 2022). To this end, the european commission’s objective is to reach the european green deal target of at least 25% of the european union’s agricultural land under organic farming by 2030.

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

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.
