Distribution analysis of myo and scyllo-inositol in natural grape must

Abstract

As it is well known, myo and scyllo-inositol are two characteristic sugars of grape must and, for this reason, their quantification has been proposed to control the authenticity of the concentrated and rectificated grape must. Indeed, these polyalcohols, which originate in the grape berries and are not retained by the resins used for the concentration process, are not naturally present in other commercial sugars from different botanical origins [1]. However, up to now, no study has exhaustively investigated the concentration variability of myo and scyllo-inositol in natural grape musts and for this reason in the definition of rectified concentrated grape must the only presence of meso-inositol is prescribed without reporting any minimum limit [2]. In this work, 200 authentic Italian grape musts were collected and the concentration of the two polyalcohols was determined. The sampling was done during 2019 and 2020 harvest in 17 different Italian Regions (Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Lombardy, Marche, Piedmont, Puglia, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany, Trentino-Alto Adige, Umbria, and Veneto). A total of 85 different grape varieties were considered to describe the natural variability. Quantification of myo and scyllo-inositol was performed by gas chromatography after silylation. The method used was obtained by modifying the official method RESOLUTION OIV-OENO 419C-2015 concerning the quantification of myo and scyllo -inositol in rectified concentrated grape musts [3]. The aim of our work was to create an extensive data bank and to investigate the impact of the geographical origin, grape variety and the different year of harvest on the concentration of myo and scyllo-inositol. Furthermore, it has been verified the influence of the process to obtain the concentrated grape must starting from the natural one on the content of the two polyalcohols.

Development and application of CRISPR/Cas in grapevine

The development and application of CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated protein) technologies have revolutionized genome editing in plants due to its simplicity, high efficiency, and versatility. As an economically important fruit crop worldwide, grapevine genome editing using CRISPR/Cas technologies has also been reported these years. Here we introduce the development briefly of the most popular CRISPR/Cas9 system and also the state-of-the-art CRISPR technologies developed so far. Moreover, we summarize CRISPR/Cas9-mediated applications for gene functional study and trait improvement in grapevine.

Sustainable wine industry challenge: optimised cork powder us new sustainable fining agent to remove negative volatile phenols

AIM: Cork, the bark of Quercus suber L. is a natural, renewable, sustainable, and biodegradable raw material, representing an abundant and cheap source of raw material. Portugal is the major cork producer (185,000 tons) processing about three-quarters of the world’s cork, generating up to 25 wt % of cork dust as a by-product.

PHOTOCHEMICAL DEGRADATION OF TRYPTOPHAN IN MODEL WINE: IMPACT OF HEAVY METALS AND OXYGEN ON 2-AMINOACETOPHENONE FORMATION

The wine industry worldwide faces more and more challenges due to climate change, such as increased dryness in some areas, water stress, sunburn and early harvesting during hot summer temperatures¹. One of the resulting problems for the wine quality might be a higher prevalence of the untypical aging off-flavor (ATA)². A substance, which Rapp and Versini made responsible for ATA, is the 2-aminoace-tophenone (2-AAP)³. 2-AAP in wine causes a naphthalene, wet towels, wet wool, acacia flower or just a soapy note⁴.

Influence of coinoculation of L. plantarum and O. oeni on the color and composition of Tempranillo wines

AIM: The aim of this research was to determine the influence of performing malolactic fermentation (MLF) of Tempranillo wines by coinoculation with Lactobacillus plantarum or Oenococcus oeni and Saccharomycescerevisiae on the composition and color of the final wines in comparison with sequential inoculation with Oenococcus oeni and spontaneous MLF. METHODS: Around 1500 Kg of Tempranillo grapes from Pagos de Anguix winery (Anguix, AOC Ribera de Duero, Spain) were harvested at the optimal maturity
