Winemaking processes discrimination by using qNMR metabolomics

Abstract

AIM: Metabolomics in food science has been increasingly used over the last twenty years. Among the tools used for wine, qNMR has emerged as a powerful tool to discern wines based on environmental factors such as geographical origin, grape variety and vintage (Gougeon et al., 2019a). Since human factors are less studied while they also contribute a lot to the wine making, we wondered if this technique could also dissociate physical or chemical processes used in oenology. The goal of this work is to allow a better understanding of the interactions between the oenological processes and wine by finding metabolites that are responsible of winemaking processes’s differentiations through 1H‑NMR metabolomics targeted and untargeted (fingerprinting) approaches combined with advanced chemiometrics.

METHODS: Wine analyses were realized by qNMR approaches. Targeted (based on nearly fifty wine constituents) and untargeted analyses were carried out on wines having undergone several physical and chemical processes. Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and similarity score (S-score) (Gougeon et al., 2019b) were performed out for the analytical discrimination of winemaking processes.

RESULTS: qNMR analyses associated with chemometrics allow discriminating not only the physical processed such as the filtration but also chemical processes like the maceration temperature, enzyme treatment and fining agent effects. Furthermore, the impacted metabolites were highlighted providing valuable data on the winemaking processes investigated.

CONCLUSIONS:

qNMR metabolomics offers a fast and reliable method to study the effects of winemaking practices on wine quality.

Leaf elemental composition in a replicated hybrid grape progeny grown in distinct climates

The elemental composition (the ionome) of grape leaves is an important indicator of nutritional
health, but its genetic architecture has received limited scientific attention. In this study, we
analyzed the leaf ionome of 131 interspecific F1 hybrid progeny from a Vitis rupestris (♀) X Vitis
riparia (♂) cross. The progeny were replicated in New York, South Dakota, Southwest Missouri ad Central Missouri, and the concentration of 20 elements were measured in their leaves at
three different phenological stages during the growing season. In leaves collected at the apical node at anthesis, elemental concentrations correlated in a consistent manner (p < 0.05) across all four geographic locations. In subsequent phenological stages, elemental ratios in the apical-node leaves remained consistent across the South Dakota and New York sites, but not across the Missouri sites. In leaves collected at the basal and middle nodes, correlations varied greatly across all locations.

Chitosan elicits mono-glucosylated stilbene production and release in fed-batch fermentation of grape cells

In the present study, the optimal conditions of grape (Vitis vinifera cv ‘Barbera’) cell cultures in batch and fed-batch bioreactor processes were studied to specifically improve the production of mono-glucosylated stilbenes.

Franciacorta DOCG sparkling wine interpretation in relation to wine coming from different areas

Dans la tradition classique, les vins mousseux sont le produit d’assemblage des vins d’origine différent. La choix de la typologie du moussage (brut, extra-brut, dosage zéro, etc.) généralement est une conséquence des résultats organoleptiques atteints à la fin de le période d’affinement en bouteille.

Riesling aroma composition in light of changing global temperatures – delving into the effects of warmer nights on the volatile profile of riesling grapes

Climate is a key parameter when the modulation of berry and subsequent wine composition is considered. Recent decades have already seen an increase in global surface temperatures

IMPACT OF MUST NITROGEN DEFICIENCY ON WHITE WINE COMPOSITION DEPENDING ON GRAPE VARIETY

Nitrogen (N) nutrition of the vineyard strongly influences the must and the wine compositions. Several chemical markers present in wine (i.e., proline, succinic acid, higher alcohols and phenolic compounds) have been proposed for the cultivar Chasselas, as indicators of N deficiency in the grape must at harvest [1]. Grape genetics potentially influences the impact of N deficiency on grape composition, as well as on the concentration of potential indicators in the wine. The goal of this study was to evaluate if the che- mical markers found in Chasselas wine can be extended for other white wines to indicate N deficiency in the grape must.
