Effect of the addition of polysaccharides extracted for grape pomace and must on sensory and chemical composition of white wines

Abstract

AIM: The objective of this work is to study the effect of the addition of polysaccharides extracted for grape pomace by-products and musts on sensory and chemical composition of white wines. Much of the waste obtained in the wine sector is not used, and they can have some valuable compounds, such as the polysaccharides (PS). Then, we decide to extract them from grape pomace and musts and incorporate them into wines to improve their quality, in a circular economy process.

METHODS: Four white wines from Verdejo and Albillo grape varieties were elaborated and five experiments were carried out with each wine: control wines (without the addition of any product); wines with the addition of PS extracted from white grape pomace (1); wines with the addition of PS extracted from white must (2); wines with the addition of rhamnogalacturonans type II (RG-II) of 80% purity; and wines with the addition of commercial PS (inactivated yeast). These products were maintained in contact with the wines for two months, and then they were filtered and bottled. Total polysaccharides, volatile and phenolic compounds were analysed after two months in bottle (2,3), and a sensory analysis was also carried out.

RESULTS: No significant differences were found in the total phenolic compounds by the effect of the addition of the different PS added. In general, the addition of the different PS extracts increased the total PS content, mainly in the wines treated with PS extracted from grape pomace and must. The differences observed in the volatile composition depended on the wine and the family group. The ethyl esters and alcohol acetates slightly increased in some of the wines treated with PS extracted from grape pomace and must, and decreased in wines treated with RG-II. The treatment with the PS extracts reduced the acidity excess of some of the wines studied and increased their mouth-feel and global valuation.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of grape PS extracted from grape pomace or must improve some wine characteristics, such as polysaccharide and volatile composition, and the acidity and mouth-feel attributes. However, these are preliminary results since these wines will be analysed after six months in bottle in order to know if these changes will maintain.

Sustainable strategies for the management and valorization of wine lees

Wine lees represent an abundant yet largely undervalorised by-product of the winemaking industry.

Identifying wild Vitis riparia Michx clones as a source of rootstock to mitigate vigour and acclimation/deacclimation cycles of the scion

Grapevine rootstocks have traditionally been chosen in order to manage scion vigour, soil pests and soil conditions. Riparia Gloire de Montpellier (RGM) has been in use since the turn of the 19th century, over 100 years and still a remarkably stable source of phylloxera (Daktulosphaeria vitifoliae Fitch) resistance. The original source material was probably collected near the Missouri/Mississippi river confluence, a mid-continental but more southerly location in the United States. It has been hypothesized that more northerly selections of V. riparia Michx might improve both fall acclimation rate and depth of the scion, thus mitigating late fall frost and midwinter freeze damage.

Some applications come from a method to concentrate proteins

All techniques usually used to assay proteins was not reliable in vegetable extract due to interferences with the components included in extracts like polyphenols, tanins, pectines, aromatics compounds. Absorbance at 280nm, Kjeldhal assay, Biuret and Lowry methods, Acid Bicinchonique technique and Bradford assay give the results depending on the composition of extract, on the presence or not of detergent and on the raw material (Marchal, 1995). Another difficulty in these extracts for the quantification of proteins comes from the large amount of water included in vegetable and the low concentration of proteins. Thus in red wines, proteins are usually not taken into account due to their low concentration (typically below 10 mgL-1) and to the presence of anthocyanis and polyphenols.

Within-vineyard spatial variation impacts methoxypyrazine accumulation in the rachis of Cabernet-Sauvignon

To investigate the impact of spatial variation in vine vigour on the accumulation of methoxypyrazines in the rachis of Cabernet-Sauvignon. Cabernet-Sauvignon rachis has been shown to contain significantly higher concentrations

Testing the pathogen e-learning and field training course on grapevine virus knowledge and management

One of the reasons of the spread of grapevine virus diseases in
vineyards around the world is the lack of knowledge by the main actors of the wine sector. To face this problem, five partners worked together to develop the PAThOGEN project, a training program aimed to improve grapevine virus knowledge and management. The partnership gathers one French technical center (IFV), one Spanish university (USC), one Italian applied research center (CREA), one Spanish foundation
specialized in training and technology transfer (FEUGA) and one Italian SME specialized in the development of informatics tools and in knowledge transfer (HORTA).The objectives of PAThOGEN are: (i) to develop and
maintain a high-quality work-based Vocational and Education Training program, (ii) to improve the skills of professionals of the wine sector.
