The anthocyanin profile of galician endangered varieties. A tool for varietal selection

Abstract

AIM: The current loss of genetic grapevine diversity is mainly due to the reduced number of varieties used for making wine. A way of preserved endangered varieties is the establishment of germplasm banks. The anthocyanin profile is a key factor in determining the oenological potential of red wine grape varieties. Thus, this work analyses the anthocyanin profiles of 29 varieties from the germplasm bank located in ¨Estación de Viticultura y Enología de Galicia¨ (EVEGA), Ourense (Galicia, Northwest Spain) in 2018 and 2019 seasons.

METHODS: At harvest, grapes were picked up and the anthocyanin substances were extracted and analyzed by HPLC (1, 2). Results were subjected to statistical analysis, ANOVA (factor variety) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

RESULTS: The anthocyanins were identified as the monoglucoside (GLU) acetylglucoside (AC) and p-coumaroylglucoside forms (CM) of cyanidin (Cy), delphinidin (Dp), malvidin (Mv), pelargonidin (Pel), peonidin (Pn) and petunidin (Pt). Sixteen compounds were identified and quantified (mg/Kg of berry fresh weight, FW). Significant diferences between varieties (p<0.001) were found for the biannual means of all compounds. MvG had the highest content in all varieties analyzed, with the exception of Zamarrica, Xafardán, Moscatel de Hamburgo and Brancellao. Respect to the rest of varieties, Sousón, Castañal, Ferrón, Espadeiro and Caíño Bravo (1832, 1323, 1327, 1173 and 1097 mg/Kg FW respectively) showed the highest contents of Total Anthocyanin. It is worth noting that these varieties belong to the same genetic population (3).These contents were higher than those found in Mencia (643 mg/Kg FW) and Tempranillo (891 mg/Kg FW), varieties widely cultivated in Galicia and Spain respectively.

Application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to experimental data showed a good separation of varieties according to the anthocyanin profile. (71.32 and 74.22 % of the total variance in 2018 and 2019 respectively). PCA also showed a group including Ferrón, Sousón, Castañal and Espadeiro varieties related to high contents of ΣGLU, ΣDel, ΣPet and ΣMal

CONCLUSION

Results demonstrated a high degree of anthocyanin profile difference between the varieties analyzed. Due to their anthocyanidin profile some of these varieties could play an important role in the red winery industry.

Caratterizzazione vitivinicola delle “Terre del Piacenziano” ricomprese nella zona D.O.C. “colli piacentini” attraverso l’analisi sensoriale dei vini prodotti

I territori della Riserva Geologica del Piacenziano sono parte del pedeappennino piacentino e sono noti per essere la culla del Pliocene, quel periodo di storia della Terra compreso tra 5.3 e 1.8 milioni di anni fa. Gli strati argillosi e sabbiosi riccamente fossiliferi qui presenti sono da sempre oggetto di studi geo-paleontologici tant’è che il Pliocene medio (3.6-2.6 milioni di anni fa) è internazionalmente noto come Piacenziano. Le analisi sensoriali strutturate dei vini qui prodotti hanno evidenziato, soprattutto per il vino Monterosso, le positive peculiarità dei loro caratteri sensoriali e descritto gli scostamenti significativi del loro profilo sensoriale rispetto agli altri vini presi a riferimento.

Consequences of apical leaf removal on grapevine water status, heat damage, yield and grape ripening on Pinot n and Chardonnay

Climate change presents a significant challenge to grape growing worldwide as increased temperatures lead to wines with increased sugar and pH levels. Manipulation of the exposed leaf area is a powerful lever governing the assimilation and storage of non-structural carbohydrates in grapevines. Reducing the leaf-to-fruit ratio is now considered as a tool for adapting to hotter and dryer grape growing conditions.

Biodiversity and biocontrol ability of Trichoderma natural populations in soil vineyards from Castilla y León region (Spain)

Trichoderma is a microorganism present in many agricultural soils and some of its species could be used as natural biological control agents. In this work, the presence of natural populations of Trichoderma was estimated in soil vineyard and its biocontrol capacity against Phaeoacremonium minimum, one of the main agent causals of grapevine trunk diseases instead of using pesticides. Moreover, physicochemical variables in soil such as pH, organic matter and nutrients were evaluated to determine a possible correlation to natural populations of Trichoderma.
