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.

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug taint in grape must and wine: time evolution of trans-2-decenal

The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB, Halyomorpha halys Stal) is an invasive pentatomid native to eastern Asia that is spreading rapidly worldwide, notably through human-mediated activities. Globally, it was reported in the USA, Canada, Italy, Hungary, and other European countries. BMSB has a broad host range that includes over 170 plants, many of agricultural importance, including various fruit, vegetables, row crops, and ornamentals. When present in the vineyard, the pest can affect yield and quality by directly feeding on berries resulting in fruit collapse and necrosis. Additional damage occurs when BMSB are carried into the winery within the grape clusters. The presence of BMSB during wine processing can affect juice and wine quality through the release of volatile compounds produced as a stress response. The major secretes compounds are tridecane and trans-2-decenal. Tridecane is an odorless compound and its effect on wine quality is currently unknown. Trans-2-decenal is an unsaturated aldehyde considered to be the main component of BMSB taint with strong green, coriander, and musty-like aromas. Its threshold value in wine was estimated at about 5 µg/L.

Coping with heatwaves: management strategies for berry survival and vineyard resilience

Climate change is leading to an increase in average temperature and in the frequency and severity of heatwaves that is already significantly affecting grapevine phenology and berry composition (Webb et al., 2010). This is compounded by water stress, which is well known to increase the vulnerability of grapevines and berries to heatwaves. In hot climate regions like australia, grape production is only possible due to relatively secure supplies of water for irrigation. However, the upper temperature limits for berry survival of well-watered grapevines remains to be tested.

Preserving wine typicity in a climate change scenario: Examples from the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Aims: Wine typicity is defined as a reflection of varietal origins, cultures and traditions of the wine. These aspects are many times also extremely important when considering a wines quality. However, as climate change occurs the typicity of wines may also change. With the long history of winemaking it is possible to define a wines typicity and how it has changed as climate alters.

Meso-scale geostatistical analysis: a method for improving experimental design

The growing region of Barolo DOCG certified wines is topographically complex. The region is famous for this complexity and for the associated terroir driven Nebbiolo grapes and wines derived distinctly from this varietal. Although it is recognized that the Barolo area is unusual topographically and it is assumed that this unusual topography lends to the inherit terroir, the specifics of this relationship are less well defined.
