Effect of stilbenes on malolactic fermentation performance of onoccocus oeni and lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains in wine production

Abstract

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is an important step in winemaking to improve wine quality through deacidification, increased microbial stability, and altered wine flavor. The phenolic composition of wine influences the growth and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria (lab) used for MLF. Due to the increasing emergence of fungus-resistant grape varieties, the present study aimed to analyze the influence of stilbenes on MLF, since stilbenes play an important role as phytoalexins in plants to counteract fungal pathogens. It was shown that the grapevine shoot extract vineatrol® and the stilbenes ε-viniferine, ampelopsin a, r2-viniferine, r-viniferine, as well as mixtures of the 5 stilbenes, slowed down malic acid degradation. This can only partly be attributed to a reduced number of viable cells, but the direct effect of stilbenes on the malolactic enzyme was also taken into account. This was deduced from a stabilized viability of lab, while at the same time malic acid degradation was reduced. These results indicate a higher risk of inhibited or incomplete MLF in wines produced from stilbene-rich grapes, such as fungus-resistant varieties.

Effet des stilbènes sur la performance de la fermentation malolactique des souches de onoccocus oeni et lactiplantibacillus plantarum en vinification

La fermentation malolactique (FML) est une étape importante dans la vinification qui permet d’améliorer la qualité du vin grâce à la désacidification, à l’augmentation de la stabilité microbienne et à la modification de l’arôme du vin. La composition phénolique du vin influence la croissance et le métabolisme des bactéries lactiques (lab) utilisées pour la FML. En raison de l’émergence croissante de variétés de raisin résistantes aux champignons, la présente étude visait à analyser l’influence des stilbènes sur la fml, étant donné que les stilbènes jouent un rôle important en tant que phytoalexines dans les plantes pour se protéger contre les pathogènes fongiques. Il a été démontré que l’extrait de sarments de vigne vineatrol® et les stilbènes ε-viniférine, ampélopsine a, r2-viniférine, r-viniférine, ainsi que des mélanges des 5 stilbènes, ralentissaient la dégradation de l’acide malique. Ceci ne peut être attribué qu’en partie à un nombre réduit de cellules viables, mais l’effet direct des stilbènes sur l’enzyme malolactique a également été pris en compte. Ceci a été déduit d’une viabilité stabilisée des lab, alors que dans le même temps la dégradation de l’acide malique a été réduite. Ces résultats indiquent un risque plus élevé d‘une fml inhibée ou incomplète dans les vins produits à partir de raisins riches en stilbènes, tels que les variétés résistantes aux champignons.

Auswirkung von stilbenen auf die gärleistung beim äpfelsäureabbau von onoccocus oeni- und lactiplantibacillus plantarum-stämmen bei der weinherstellung

Die malolaktische gärung (MLF) ist ein wichtiger schritt bei der weinherstellung zur verbesserung der weinqualität durch entsäuerung, erhöhte mikrobielle stabilität und modifikation des sensorischen profils. Die phenolische zusammensetzung des weines beeinflusst das wachstum und den stoffwechsel der für die malolaktische gärung verwendeten milchsäurebakterien (lab). Aufgrund der steigenden pflanzungen pilzresistenter rebsorten wurde in der vorliegenden studie der einfluss von stilbenen auf die MLF untersucht, da stilbene als phytoalexine in pflanzen eine wichtige rolle zum schutz gegen pilzpathogene spielen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass der rebensprossenextrakt vineatrol® und die stilbene ε-viniferin, ampelopsin a, r2-viniferin, r-viniferin sowie mischungen der 5 stilbene den äpfelsäureabbau verlangsamen. Dies kann zum teil auf eine verringerte anzahl lebensfähiger zellen zurückgeführt werden. Zudem konnte die direkte wirkung der stilbene auf das malolaktische enzym abgeleitet werden. Auch bei stabiler viabilität der milchsäurebakterien wurde der apfelsäureabbau durch stilbene reduziert. Diese ergebnisse deuten auf ein höheres risiko einer gehemmten oder unvollständigen mlf in weinen hin, die aus stilbenreichen trauben, wie z. B. Pilzresistenten sorten, hergestellt wurden.

Anticipating consumer preference for low-alcohol wine: a machine learning analysis based on consumption habits and socio-demographics

The global wine consumption landscape is undergoing a transformation, marked by a growing trend towards reduced consumption and a preference for healthier lifestyles. In line with this shift, european union regulation (regulation eu 2021/2117) has recently redefined dealcoholized or partially dealcoholized wine within the wine category.

Using unmanned aerial vehicle with multispectral camara to efficiently and precisely monitor the incidence of downy mildew and technical maturity of beibinghong (vitis amurensis Rpru.) grapes 

Multispectral unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been successfully applied in monitoring vine vegetative growth, however, there are still potential relationships between remote sensing vegetation indexes (vis) and vine condition or grape quality, so it is worthy a deeper investigation to make a better use of UAV. One of the purposes of the study is to find out vis that could denote the severity of downy mildew (DM), so that precise and differentiated control strategies would be adopted subsequently.

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.

Vitiforestry as innovative heritage. Adaptive conservation of historical wine-growing landscapes as response to XXI century’s challenges.

Traditional agricultural and agro-pastoral systems (prior to industrial revolution) often have the characteristic of being multiple systems, in which multiple crops are hosted simultaneously on the same plot. currently research suggests to study more in depth the potential of multiple agricultural systems in order to detect those characteristics of multiple agrarian systems that could allow modern viticulture to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change: rising temperatures with impacts on the phenological cycle of the vine, resurgence of plant deseases, extreme soil washout phenomena and hail storms, among others.
