Red wine oxidation: oxygen consumption kinetics and high resolution uplc-ms analysis

Abstract

Oxygen is playing a major role in wine ageing and conservation. Many chemical oxidation reactions occur but they are difficult to follow due to their slow reaction times and the numerous resulting reaction products. There is a need for global and rapid in vitro tests to predict wine oxidation kinetics. First, three different forced oxidation protocols were developed on a “young” (2018) red wine to follow the consumption of oxygen. After oxygen saturation of the wines at 22°C, the red wines were oxidized following 3 different protocols

1 – heat at 60°C

2 –laccase oxidation at 22°C

3 –hydrogen peroxide oxidation at 22°C

The oxygen consumption kinetics were followed by oxo-luminescence oxygen measurements. The oxygen consumption all followed a first order kinetic on the 2018 wine but had different kinetics constants depending on the oxidation protocol. High resolution UPLC-MS was also performed on forced oxidation samples and compared to natural oxidation samples of naturally aged red wines (2014 and 2010 vintages). Specific polyphenols (anthocyanins, flavanols and their derivatives) were impacted in both naturally or artificially aged wines and differed depending on the oxidation protocol. For example, the intensity of some low molecular weight polyphenols increased both in naturally or artificially heated aged wines ([M+H]+= 287; 289; 291; 303; 317; 319). However, some differences were observed between natural and artificial aging for higher molecular weight polyphenols ([M+H]+= 493; 535; 639)

Intra-block variations of vine water status in time and space

Vine water status was measured on 96 plots of three vines inside a vineyard block of 0.28 ha during three years: 2003, 2004 and 2005. Three physiological indicators were implemented: stem water potential, carbon isotope discrimination measured on grape sugars at ripeness (δ13C) and canopy temperature measured by high resolution remote sensing. For stem water potential, measurements were taken on every single vine of each plot.

Determination of steviol glycosides in wine by HPLC

The SCL laboratory in Bordeaux is one of the two official control laboratories for wine and wine products in france, under the authority of the ministry of finance and two of its general directorates: the DGCCRF (directorate general for competition, consumer affairs and fraud control) and the DGDDI (directorate general of customs and excise duties). In this capacity, it verifies the regulatory compliance of wines and investigates any possible falsifications or fraud. Steviol glycosides are natural sweeteners that are not authorized as additives in wine.

Méthode et outils de valorisation des terroirs en cave coopérative

Depuis le début des années 90, les vignerons des Caves Coopératives de l’Appellation “Côtes du Rhône” se sont penchés, au sein des structures de réflexion du Syndicat Général, sur deux axes de réflexion:
– Détermination des critères de sélection et de rémunération différenciée des apports de vendange;
– Organisation des sélections de vendanges sur la base des terroirs afin d’augmenter quantitativement le potentiel de sélection au sein de l’unité de production.

FOLIAR APPLICATION OF METHYL JASMONATE AND METHYL JASMONATE PLUSUREA: INFLUENCE ON PHENOLIC, AROMATIC AND NITROGEN COMPOSITION OFTEMPRANILLO WINES

Phenolic, volatile and nitrogen compounds are key to wine quality. On one hand, phenolic compounds are related to wine color, mouthfeel properties, ageing potential. and are associated with beneficial health properties. On the other hand, wine aroma is influenced by hundreds of volatile compounds. Fermentative aromas represent, quantitatively, the wine aroma, and among these volatile compounds, esters, higher alcohols and acids are mainly responsible for the fermentation bouquet.
