Saccharomyces cerevisiae intraspecies differentiation by metabolomic signature and sensory patterns in wine

Abstract

AIM: The composition and quality of wine are directly linked to microorganisms involved in the alcoholic fermentation. Several studies have been conducted on the impact of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on volatile compounds composition after fermentation. However, if different studies have dealt with combined sensory and volatiles analyses, few works have compared so far the impact of distinct yeast strains on the global metabolome of the wine.

METHODS: Twelve wines were obtained from fermentations of Chardonnay musts led by twelve different commercial wine yeast strains of S. cerevisiae. In order to establish a possible link between sensory profiles and metabolic signatures, Ultra High Resolution Mass Spectrometry analysis of non-volatile compounds and Gaz Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry detection of volatile compounds, sensory analysis and chemometrics were used in combination.

RESULTS: Wines were clearly discriminated, according to non-volatile, volatile and sensory analyses, despite the similar fermentation kinetics. Three groups of wines, described by similar aromatic descriptors such as fruity, vegetable and apple, were highlighted by the sensory analyses. The profiles of wines from the different groups were characterized based on 35 volatile compounds belonging to esters, medium chain fatty acids, superior alcohols and terpenes. Finally, metabolomics analyses revealed a non volatile composition specific to each wine, with biomarkers specific to each wine yeast strain of S. cerevisiae.

CONCLUSIONS:

The final composition of the wine is intimately linked to the specific production of metabolites by each strains of S. cerevisiae. The combination of analytical and sensory analyses allowed us to discriminate and characterized wines from the twelve strains of S. cerevisiae.

WHAT’S FUTURE FOR SANTORINI’S VITICULTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The own-rooted vineyard of Santorini is a unique case of vineyard worldwide that is been cultivated for thousands of years. On the island’s volcanic soil, the vines are still cultivated with traditional techniques, which are adapted to the specific and extreme weather conditions that prevail on it. While climate change is a reality in the Mediterranean region, will Santorini vineyard endure its impact? The study of the traditional training systems, techniques and vine density, as well as the application of sustainable solutions (cover crops and use of kaolin etc.) revealed sustainable methods for the adaptation of the local viticulture to new climatic phenomena that tend to be more and more frequent in the region due to climate change.

Chitosan treatment to manage grapevine downy mildew

Downy mildew is one of the most important grapevine diseases, caused by the Oomycete Plasmopara viticola. The management of the disease in organic agriculture can require up to 15 copper applications per year. However, copper accumulates in the soil, is phytotoxic and is toxic for organisms living in the soil, its use has been restricted in European Union to maximum 28 kg in 7 years. Therefore, testing of alternatives with equal effectiveness is desirable. Among those, the natural biopolymer chitosan, obtained from crab shells, proved to be effective toward downy mildew in plot experiments. The aim of our trials was to extend chitosan applications in large scale experiments in different years, cultivars and environmental conditions.

Relationships between vine isohydricity and changes of fruit growth and metabolism during water deficit

The frequency of water deficits is increasing in many grape-growing regions due to climate change.
