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.

Linear sweep voltammetry to classify and characterize the antioxidant properties of tannins

In recent years, numerous studies have been carried out at the OIV on oenological tannins, both with regard to oenological properties and methods of characterization. The results of these recent studies have led to the revision of the general monograph and the drafting of four new monographs, one for each of the four chemical classes into which the tannins have been grouped: ellagitannins, gallotannins, procyanidins/prodelphinidins, profisetinidins/prorobinetinins.

100 ans d’évolution des règles relatives à l’encépagement des AOC viticoles françaises : quelles perspectives face aux enjeux contemporains

To characterize a wine, the most frequently used criteria describe its color, its origin, the grape varieties from which they come, or even for white wines its residual sugar content (dry, semi-dry, sweet). In france, the system of appellations of origin set up in 1919 was initially based solely on the notoriety and origin of the wines. But given the unfavorable consequences that this lack of details generated, the public authorities quickly integrated in 1927 into the “capus” law criteria for access to designations of origin, relating to the specific characteristics of the soils of the vineyards and the grape varieties used, in particular exclusion of interspecific hybrid varieties. In 1935 the creation of the aoc system confirmed the interest in precisely defining all the production conditions that must be implemented to be able to claim the benefit of an aoc, and grape varieties were an essential condition for acquisition.

SAVOIR: A project promoting innovative and effective prophylactic methods in viticulture, as part of the governmental plan to anticipate the withdrawal of plant protection products in France (PARSADA)

Faced with the likely withdrawal of commercial specialities from use in the short to medium term, France has decided to implement an ambitious action plan to anticipate and avoid withdrawal without alternative solutions. The French wine industry (cniv and ifv) has been heavily involved in this action to define priorities. faced with the risk of the withdrawal of multi-site fungicides (folpel, dithianon, copper) coupled with the probable reduction in single-site fungicide solutions, mildew and black rot have been identified as the priority uses.

Use of sensors/biosensors for detection of food safety parameters in wine

The implementation of food safety assurance systems in wineries involves ensuring that the wines produced do not pose a risk to consumer health and are therefore free from harmful substances, such as those that may be incorporated during the production process (pesticides, additives, etc.), allergens or mycotoxins.

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.
