Relation between phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, oxygen consumption rate of diverse tannins

Abstract

The work was aimed at comparing some analytical methods used to characterize oenological tannins and the measure of oxygen consumption rate (OCR), in order to provide oenologists with a rapid method to test the antioxidant capacity of tannin based products and a tool to choose the best suited product for each purpose. Seven tannins with different botanical origin were studied by determining the polyphenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteau assay, GAE%; Total Polyphenols Index, TPI%; Phloroglucinolysis, CT%), antiradical activity (DPPH), reducing capacity (FRAP), redox properties (Linear Sweep Voltammetry, LSV). The OCR was measured with a noninvasive luminescence-based technology in an oxygen saturated model wine solution, containing transition metals and metabisulphite to better simulate the oxidative conditions. The results showed a high variability in polyphenolic content due to the botanical origin of tannins. The OCR determined over 21 days was described by quadratic equations, with coefficients varying with the dose and botanical origin of tannins and with SO2 concentration. The tannins ranked differently for antioxidant capacity, depending on the kind of test. The OCR was correlated with the LSV and FRAP indexes. The Factor Analysis of data distinguished three causes of variability between tannins (3 Factors) and the analytical parameters describing them: 1) the richness in polyphenols (First Factor, explaining the 34.02% of the total data variability), described by GAE%, TPI%, DPPH; 2) the tannin typology (Second Factor, 27.4%), described by LSV and CT%; 3) the oxygen consumption rate (Third Factor, 30.00%), described by OCR, LSV, FRAP.

TARTARIC STABILIZATION MAY AFFECT THE COLOR AND POLYPHENOLIC COMPOSITION OF TANNAT RED WINES FROM URUGUAY

Tartrate precipitation affects the properties of wines, due to the formation of crystals that cause turbidity, even after being bottled. The forced tartaric stabilization is carried out frequently for young wines, through various physicochemical procedures. The traditional treatment for tartaric stabilization is refrigeration, but it can have a negative effect on wine’s sensory properties, and particularly on the color of red wines. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different tartaric stabilization options on the color and phenolic composition of Tannat red wines from Uruguay.

Regionality in Australian Pinot Noir wines: A study using NMR and ICP-MS with commercial wines

Aim: Wine quality and character are defined in part by the terroir in which the grapes are grown. Metabolomic techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), are used to characterise wines and to detect wine fraud in other countries but have not been extensively trialled in Australia. This study aimed to investigate the use of ICP-MS and NMR to characterise a selection of Pinot noir wines.

POTENTIAL OF PEPTIDASES FOR AVOIDING PROTEIN HAZES IN MUST AND WINE

Haze formation in wine during transportation and storage is an important issue for winemakers, since turbid wines are unacceptable for sale. Such haze often results from aggregation of unstable grape proteinaceous colloids. To date, foreseeably unstable wines need to be treated with bentonite to remove these, while excessive quantities, which are often required, affect the wine volume and quality (Cosme et al. 2020). One solution to avoid these drawbacks might be the use of peptidases. Marangon et al. (2012) reported that Aspergillopepsins I and II were able to hydrolyse the respective haze-relevant proteins in combination with a flash pasteurisation. In 2021, the OIV approved this enzymatic treatment for wine stabilisation (OIV-OENO 541A and 541B).

Un siècle de publications et d’archives de l’OIV : un patrimoine mondial de valeur universelle exceptionnelle pour les sciences et techniques de la vigne et du vin

In 2004, at its general assembly, the oiv adopted the transfer of its scientific and technical heritage from the office to the international organisation of vine and wine. Unesco defines heritage as “our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations.”

Advances in the chemistry of rosé winemaking and ageing

The market share of Rosé wine in France has grown from 11 % to 32 % over the last 20 years. Current trends are towards rosé wines of a lighter shade of pink, and where possible, containing a greater concentration in varietal thiols. Grape varieties, the soil on which they are grown, viticultural practices and winemaking technology all impact the polyphenols, color and aromas of rosé wines.
