applicazione dei metodi isotopici e dell’analisi sensoriale negli studi sull’origine dei vini

Abstract

Traceability of agro-alimentary products is very important to certify their origin. This work aimed to characterize wines obtained by the same cultivar (Nero d’Avola and Fiano) – grown in regions with different soil and climate conditions during three vintages (2003-2005) – employing isotopic analyses (NMR and IRMS) and sensory analyses. The effectiveness of stable isotopes ratios (D/H)1, 13C/12C and 18O/16O to assess the geographical origin of wines is affected by the natural variability of these parameters. Their usefulness in wine origin identification improves when they are used jointly. (D/H)1 and 18O/16O ratios depend on latitude but, in the meantime, 18O/16O is noticeably modified by the meteorological course during grape ripening. The most powerful ratios to discriminate between regions are (D/H)1 and 18O/16O (Versini and Monetti, 1996). The isotopic and the sensory analyses together allowed to distinguish wines from different regions.

Immobilization of S. cerevisiae and O. œni for the control of wine fermentation steps

Controlling the speed of alcoholic (AF) and malolactic (MLF) fermentations in wine can be an important challenge for the production of certain short rotation wines for entry-level market segments. Immobilization techniques for Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Œnococcus œni, the microorganisms responsible for these fermentations, are widely studied for industrial applications. Indeed, these processes allow to accumulate biomass and thus to increase cell densities inducing high fermentation velocities. Recent works have shown the performance of MLF carried out with biofilms of O. œni, immobilized on various supports in a rich medium (MRSm: modified MRS broth with malic acid and fructose).

Simgi® platform as a tool for the study of wine active compounds in the  gastrointestinal tract

Simgi® platform pursues the need for dynamic in vitro simulation of the human gastrointestinal tract optimized and adapted to food safety and health fields. The platform has confirmed the model’s suitability since its first’s studies with the consistency between the simulated colonic metabolism of wine polyphenols and the metabolic evolution observed with the intake of wine in human intervention studies [1].
