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.

Laying footprints on a new path: proper accounting of biogenic fluxes makes viticulture carbon neutral

To limit the acceleration of global warming we need to reduce greenhouse gases emissions (GHG), making our production processes more carbon-efficient and optimizing absorptions.

Soil management with cover crops in irrigated vineyards: effects in vine microclimate (cv. Malbec) grown in a terroir of Agrelo (Luján de Cuyo)

L’objectif de cette recherche a été de déterminer les effets de l’enherbement dans le microclimat de la vigne. On a comparé cinq couvertures de cycle végétatif différent en ce qui concerne l’entretien du sol sans culture par application d’herbicides. L’étude a été developpée dans un vignoble cv. Malbec conduit en haute espalier, situé en a terroir á Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentine. On a déterminé des paramètres micro climatiques:

Effect of fertigation strategies to adapt PGI Côtes de Gascogne production to hot vintage

The development of fertigation could be a possible solution to adapt PGI Côtes de Gascogne (south-western France) wine production to climate change. The goal would be to limit the negative effects of water stress on yield performance expectation (around 15 tons per hectare) and to make the use of fertilizers more efficient. This study aimed to compare the effects of three strategies of water and minerals supply on grapes and wines qualities. Two fertigation practices were compared to a rainfed control which is the current standard of the local grape growing production. The fertilizers (nitrogen and potassium) were (i) fully brought by irrigation pipe during the season, (ii) partially brought by irrigation pipe and partially on the soil or (iii) fully brought on the soil at the beginning of the season for the non-irrigated control (local standard). The trial was run on cv. Colombard trained on spur pruned with vertical shoot positioning system on a sandy-silty-clay soil over the 2020 vintage which was particularly hot for the region. Moderate to strong water deficit appeared during the growing period of the berries and held on after veraison. Irrigation strategies allowed for maintaining grapevine without water deficit and being significantly different from the control water status. Grapevine with fully or partial fertigation strategies produced 25% more yield mainly due to the increase of the bunch weight. Also, the fully fertigation showed the best ratio between yield and maturity and brought 30% less of fertilizers (both nitrogen and potassium) than the two other strategies. Finally, the analysis of aromatic compounds in Colombard wines, varietal thiols family, showed the same level of concentrations for the 3 treatments, confirming that the yield performance did not impact the aromatic potential in this trial.

Influence de l’ensoleillement sur la composante aromatique des baies de raisin

Syrah is a grape with weak aromatic expression. This atypical grape variety as a fruit allows the production of wines of great reputation for which the aromatic particularity plays an important role. The varietal aroma consists of volatile substances directly perceptible by the olfactory mucosa and of aroma precursors, of which the glycosides constitute an important class.

The use of viticultural and oenological performance of grapevines to identify terroirs: the example of Sauvignon blanc in Stellenbosch

Identification and characterisation of terroirs depends on knowledge of environmental parameters, functioning of the grapevine and characteristics of the final product. A network of plots of Sauvignon blanc was delimited in commercial vineyards in proximity to weather stations at 20 localities and their viticultural and oenological response was monitored for a period of seven years. These experimental plots were further characterised with respect to climate, soil and topography.
