Genetic diversity of Oenococcus oeni strains isolated from Yinchuan wine region in the East of Helan Mountain, China

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to isolate Oenococcus oeni in red wines from Yinchuan wine region in the East of Helan Mountain, China, and analysis their genetic diversity.

Methods and Results: Oenococcus oeni strains were isolated from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Gernischt wines of four representative wineries in 2016. Total 207 O. oeni strains were isolated and identified by species-specific PCR. Following that, 206 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) genotypes were detected, with the similarity coefficients ranging between 63% – 97%. Based on the UPGMA, two major phylogroups were deciphered at 81% similarity level. Interestingly, the strains in different phylogroups were isolated from wines of different cultivars. In addition, strains from the same winery formed a unique cluster.

Conclusions: 

Our results indicate there is an obvious genetic relationship of O. oeni with grape cultivars and their origins. Our results also support the fact that O. oeni is an important factor related to the wine terroir. 

Significance and Impact of the Study: The Chinese wine industry has steadily grown in recent years. However, limited development and application of indigenous O. oeni strains would lead to homogeneity in wine quality. The outcome of this study would lay down the theoretical foundation for the development of indigenous O. oeni strains with regional characteristics.

Methoxypyrazine concentrations in grape-bunch rachis are influenced by rootstock, region, light, and scion.

Methoxypyrazines (MPs) are readily extracted from grape berry and rachis during fermentation and can impart “green” and “herbaceous” sensory attributes to wine. Irrespective of whether MPs, including 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP), 3-isopropyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IPMP), and 3-sec-butyl-2-methoxypyrazine (SBMP), are extracted from berry or other vine material, techniques for remediation of wine with overpowering sensory characters attributable to MPs suffer from poor specificity or produce undesirable sensory outcomes, meaning that alternative control approaches are needed.

Aromatic characterization of Moscato Giallo by GC-MS/MS and stable isotopic ratio analysis of the major volatile compounds

Among the Moscato grapes, Moscato Giallo is a winegrape variety characterized by a high content of free and glycosylated monoterpenoids, which gives very aromatic wines. The aromatic bouquet of Moscato Giallo is strongly influenced by the high concentration of linalool, geraniol, linalool oxides, limonene, α-terpineol, citronellol, HO-trienol, HO-diols, 8-Hydroxylinalool, geranic acid and β-myrcene, that give citrus, rose, and peach notes.

Prototype development for the recovery of wine aromas from fermentation gases
