Oxidation vs reduction: the fate of tannins, pigments, vscs, color,SO2 and metabolomic fingerprint

Abstract

The management of oxygen during winemaking and aging is a big issue in order to achieve high quality wines. The correct amount of O2 improves aroma, astringency, bitterness and color, however an excess of oxygen promotes the appearance of yellow and brown colors and oxidative off-odors, while its absence leads to the formation of reductive aromas. Even thought our knowledge about the reactions occurring during wine oxidation are very rich and detailed, the scientific data about the wine behaviour under reductive storage is limited. The main objective of this work was to study the metabolomic changes of eight red wines caused by the storage under different oxidative and reductive conditions.

Eight red wines were stored under eight different conditions, which include a) micro-oxygenators at 25 ºC for 3 months; b) anoxic atmosphere at 25 °C for 1, 2 and 3 months; c) anoxic atmosphere at 35 °C for 3 months; and d) control.  The following physicochemical analysis were made: LC-MS based metabolomic fingerprint, CIELab color, analyses of volatile sulfur compounds, redox potential, and basic oenological analysis. 

Changes of concentration of H2S and methanethiol (higher amount of free forms under reductive conditions) and redox potential results showed the reliability of the sample set. Color of samples evolved in a different way depending on the storage conditions, getting darker the reduced samples. Metabolomic study revealed reactions with SO2 and direct linked tannin-anthocyanin (T-A) adducts were favoured under anoxia but in the presence of oxygen, reactions with acetaldehyde and ethyl-linked T-A and tannin-tannin (adducts) were the favoured. The reaction mechanism of these reactions favoured in absence of oxygen could explain the observed changes during reductive storage.

Impact of dried stems in winemaking on Veneto Passito wines

The use of stems during fermentation is generally avoided due to the herbaceous off-odors they can impart to the wine. [1].

THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TERROIRS ON AROMA COMPOUNDS OF ‘KALECIK KARASI’ WINES

Kalecik Karası is a domestic grape variety of Turkey, originating from Kalecik district, 80 km from Ankara. Although there is no definite evidence, it is known that it was used in wine production by many civilizations that lived in the Anatolian region, especially the Hittites. Compared to other black wine grapes, it stands out with its low tannin content, rich fruity aroma and complex structure. In good vintages, red fruits such as strawberries, cherries and raspberries stand out in the aroma profile. Although its structure is elegant, it has the potential to age and develop similar to the ‘Pinot Noir’ wine of the Burgundy region. This offers a complex aroma structure including red flowers, earth and ripe fruits.

Viticultural zoning of the country of Mendoza, Argentina. Study of the first zone : department of Luján de Cuyo. Statement of the study year 2002

La région viticole de Mendoza est la principale zone vitivinicole d’Argentine qui se compose de 3 oasis (Nord, Valle de Uco, Sud). La première zone vitivinicole, située dans l’oasis Nord, est composée par les département de Luján de Cuyo et Maipu. C’est la zone de production la plus ancienne et la plus reconnue pour la qualité de sa production. Ce travail se porte plus particulièrement sur le département de Luján de Cuyo qui constitue le lieu traditionnel de production du Malbec argertin. Ce travail propose de caractériser les terroirs et de mettre en avant leurs typicités.

Adsorption of tetraconazole by organic residues and vineyard organically-amended soils 

Spain is the country with the largest wine-producing area in the EU and its productivity is largely controlled applying fungicides. However, residues of these compounds can move and contaminate surface and groundwater. The objective of this work was to evaluate the capacity of bioadsorbents from different origin to adsorb and immobilize tetraconazole by themselves or when applied as organic soil amendment, and to prevent soil and water contamination by this fungicide. The adsorption of tetraconazole by 3 organic residues: spent mushroom substrate (SMS), green compost (GC) and vine pruning sawdust (VP), as well as by vineyard soils unamended and amended individually with these residues at 1.5% (w/w) was evaluated using the batch equilibrium technique.
