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.

Study of the vine performance and the wine composition of Tannat on the terroir of Colonia del Sacramento – Uruguay

Grape-growing terroirs were defined according to the method proposed by Falcetti and Asselin (1996) near of Colonia de Sacramento, a city of Uruguay situated on the left of the “Rio de la Plata”.

Electrochemical diversity of italian white wines

Analysis of phenolic compounds typically involve spectrophotometric methods as well as liquid chromatography combined with DAD, fluorimetric, or MS detection. However, the complexity of wine phenolic composition generated, in recent years, attention towards other analytical approaches, including those allowing rapid and inexpensive operations. Voltametric AIM Oxidation of white wine phenolics occurs at different stages during winemaking and storage and can have important implications for wine sensory quality. Phenolic compounds, in particular those with a ortho-diphenol moiety, are main target of oxidation in wine. Strategies for the methods are particularly suited for the analysis of oxidizable compounds such as phenolics. The redox-active species can be oxidized and reduced at the electrode, therefore, applications of electrochemistry have been developed both to quantify such species, and to probe wine maturation processes.3 The project on the diversity of Italian wines aims at collecting and analysing large-scale compositional dataset related to Italian white wines.

Mapping climate and bioclimatic indices at high-resolution in vineyard regions

Many of the world’s vineyard regions are located in regions of complex terrain, with the result there is significant local climate variation.

Red wine oxidation study by accelerating ageing tests and electrochemical method

Red wines can undergo many undesirable changes during the winemaking process and storage, particularly oxidative degradation due to numerous atmospheric oxygen intakes. This spoilage can impact organoleptic properties and color stabilization but this impact depends on the wine composition. Phenolic compounds constitute primary targets to oxidation reactions
