Proanthocyanin composition in new varieties from monastrell

Abstract

AIM: Proanthocyanidins are responsible in an important way for positive aspects in wines, such as body and color stability in red wines, but they are also responsible for sensory characteristics that can be negative for their quality when found in excessive concentrations. In an effort of increasing our understanding of crosses from Monastrell, it has been studied their proanthocyanidin composition during three seasons. Besides, it is important the idea of registering new varieties of red grapes from Monastrell adapted to the new climatic scenario produced in the South East of Spain, with an excellent polyphenolic capacity.

METHODS: A quantitative analysis was carried out during three seasons (2018, 2019 and 2020) in order to study and compare the obtained concentration of proanthocyanidins in Monastrell and the new varieties MC80 (Monastrell x Cabernet-Sauvignon), MC98, MS10 (Monastrell x Syrah), MC4 and MC18. The analysis was carried out in grapes as well as in the final of alcoholic fermentation in order to study its extraction capacity. The analyzes were performed and quantified following the fluoroglycinolysis method.

RESULTS: In general, the results showed higher concentrations in tannins in the most hybrids of Monastrell for the three seasons studied.Furthermore, a higher concentration of epigallocatechin was found in most of the hybrid wines elaborated, being positive from an organoleptic point of view, since this compound provides softness to the wines. However, MC4 is characterized by its low concentration of this compound although these values could be normal since the concentration of tannins in this variety is much lower with respect to the other hybrids. Another of the compounds of interest analyzed was epicatequinogalate, this compound was also found in higher concentrations in hybrids analysed than in Monastrell variety.Finally, It should be noted that the relationship between the average degree of polymerization of the tannins and the percentage of gallolation was much higher in the seeds than in the elaborated wines or in the skins.

CONCLUSIONS

These new varieties ensuring its incredible polyphenolic concentration showing a great potential as new varieties adapted to the dry and hot conditions produced in the south east of Spain

Effect of Yeast Derivative Products on Aroma compounds retention in model wine

For many years, enological research has developed commercial formulates of yeast derivatives as stabilizing agents and technological adjuvants in winemaking. These products are obtained from yeast by autolytic, plasmolytic, or hydrolytic processes that liberate many macromolecules from the yeast cell, principally polysaccharides and oligosaccharides and most specifically mannoproteins that are well known for their ability to improve tartaric stability and to reduce the occurrence of protein hazes (Ángeles Pozo-Bayón et al., 2009; Charpentier & Feuillat, 1992; Morata et al., 2018; Palomero et al., 2009).

New genomic techniques for sustainable management of water stress and pathogen control

Context and purpose of the study. Climate changes pose the need to develop new grapevine varieties and rootstocks that are more tolerant to stress and diseases.

Understanding novel germplasm solutions: sensory, chemical and preliminary hedonic insights of wines made from Australian first-generation mildew resistant cultivars

One of the major issues for wine production in Australia is the management and eradication of powdery and downy mildews and the associated yield losses they present, costing Australian grape growers upwards of AUD$160M per annum [1].

Exploring the potential of agrivoltaics in German vineyards: A GIS-based assessment

The growing demand for renewable energy and sustainable agricultural practices has highlighted the potential of agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) as a promising solution, particularly in the context of German viticulture.

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis and preliminary trials for the application of the DNA-free genome editing in grapevine cv. Corvina veronese

Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is a globally significant fruit crop, and enhancing its agronomic and oenological traits is crucial to meet changing agricultural conditions and consumer demands. Conventional breeding has played a key role in domesticating grapevine varieties, but it is a time-consuming process to develop new cultivars with desirable traits for cultivation.
New plant breeding techniques (NpBTs) offer a potential revolution in grapevine cultivation, and genome editing has shown promise for targeted mutagenesis. The success of these biotechnological approaches relies on efficient in vitro regeneration protocols, particularly through somatic embryogenesis (SE).
