Effect of power ultrasound treatment on free and glycosidically-bound volatile compounds and the sensorial profile of red wines

Abstract

AIM Aiming to explore the possibility of shortening red winemaking maceration times (1,2), this study presents the effect of the application of high-power ultrasounds to crushed grapes, at winery-scale, on the content of varietal volatile compounds (free and glycosidically-bound) in musts and on the overall aroma of wines.

METHODS Two different frequencies (20 kHz and 28 kHz) were tested and the combination of grape sonication and different maceration times on wine aroma was also evaluated. The volatile compounds were isolated by solid phase extraction and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, carrying out a sensory evaluation of wines by quantitative descriptive analysis

RESULTS Sonication produced an increase in the concentration of free varietal compounds such as C6 al-cohols, terpenes and norisoprenoids in musts and also in wines made with 48h of skin maceration, being less efficient in the extraction of the bound fraction. Fermentation compounds were also positively affected by ultrasound treatment, although this effect was variable depending on the frequency used, the maceration time and the type of compound. All the wines made from sonicated grapes had better scores in the evaluated olfactory attributes with respect to the control wines

CONCLUSIONS

Sonication could produce an increase in the content of some volatile compounds of sensory relevance, obtaining wines with an aroma quality similar or higher than those elaborated with longer maceration times (3).

Mapping climate and bioclimatic indices at high-resolution in vineyard regions

Many of the world’s vineyard regions are located in regions of complex terrain, with the result there is significant local climate variation.

Barrel-to-Barrel Variation of Color and Phenolic Composition in Barrel-Aged Red Wine

Tangible variation of sensory characteristics is often perceived in wine aged in similar barrels. This variation is mostly explained by differences in the wood chemical composition, and in the production of the barrels. Despite these facts, the literature concerning barrel-to-barrel variation and its effect on wine sensory and chemical characteristics is very scarce [1]. In this study, the barrel-to-barrel variation in barrel-aged wines was examined in respect of the most important phenolic compounds of oenological interest and chromatic characteristics, considering both the effects of the (individual) barrel and cooperage. A red wine was aged in 49 new medium-toasted oak (Quercus petraea) barrels, from four cooperages, for 12 months

Evaluation of new fem grapevine varieties resistant to the main fungal diseases

Context and purpose of the study. The genetic improvement of grapevines at the Edmund Mach Foundation (FEM) has evolved significantly since its inception, and its philosophy on sustainable viticulture through crossbreeding techniques aligns with the urgent need to reduce chemical use in agriculture.

The impact of vine pruning methods on physiological development and health condition of Vitis vinifera

This project aims on monitoring the plant development and comparison of the effects of various training systems on vine fertility and physiological processes.

Viticultura protegida: uso de mallas sombreadoras fotoselectivas como una herramienta para enfrentar la crisis climática en uva de mesa en el norte de Chile

The production of table grapes in Chile is of great importance, being one of the main established fruit crops with over 43,000 hectares distributed across a diverse climate range, from the southern limit of the Atacama desert to the mediterranean zone. Chile is also one of the leading exporters of table grapes. producers must confront the challenges posed by the climate crisis, such as decreased rainfall, increased heatwaves, and extreme temperature events during the growing season, mainly associated with desertification in northern Chile (Atacama and Coquimbo regions).
