Influence of the type of flavonol and the presence of mannoproteins in the copigmentation with malvidin 3-O-glucoside

Abstract

AIM: To study the copigmentation between different wine flavonols (myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin and syringetin 3-O-glucosides) and malvidin 3-O-glucoside to detect differences in the interactions due to the flavonol type. Considering the existing interactions of anthocyanins and flavonols in wines with mannoproteins1, copigmentation was also studied in the presence of 5 different mannoproteins.

METHODS: 36 model systems were built in wine-like solution in triplicate. One of them contained only the anthocyanin. 10 were anthocyanin-flavonol (AF) or anthocyanin-mannoprotein (AM) binary systems. 25 contained the anthocyanin, one type of flavonol and one type of mannoprotein (AFM). Concentrations used were 0.41mM for the anthocyanin and flavonol and 400 mg/L for the mannoprotein. UV-vis spectra were measured at days 1, 2, 5, 8 and 22, calculating then, CIELAB parameters and copigmentation indexes, such as CCI (% of colour due to copigmentation)2. HPLC-DAD-MSn analyses1 were performed at day 22 to study anthocyanin degradation and the possible and distinct formation of anthocyanin-derived pigments.

RESULTS: In AF binary systems, the occurrence of copigmentation was demonstrated from the CCI values (>23 in all model systems from day 1 to day 22). Copigmentation increased during the first 8 days and then tended to decrease until day 22. Isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside appeared to be the best copigment (CCI 70) whereas kaempferol 3-O-glucoside caused the lowest CCI values. In AM binary systems, copigmentation was not observed and, for some mannoproteins, even an anticopigmentation effect was detected. In AFM ternary systems, the effect depended both on the flavonol and on the mannoprotein, pointing to different interactions probably related to structural differences. 

CONCLUSIONS

The magnitude of the copigmentation phenomenon between malvidin 3-O-glucoside and different flavonols depend on the structure of the flavonol and can be differently affected by the presence of different types of mannoproteins in the medium.

Aromatic profile of six different clones of Chardonnay grape berries in Minas Gerais (Brazil)

Aromas are one of the key points in food analysis since they are related to character, quality and consequently consumer acceptance. It is not different in the winery industry, where the aromatic profile is a combination of viticultural and oenological practices. Based on the development of more aromatic clones and on the potential to produce sparkling wines at Caldas, in the southern region of Minas Gerais (Brazil) (21°55´S and 46°23´W, altitude 1,100m), the aim of this work was the determination of volatile compounds in six different clones of Chardonnay grape berries to better understand which compounds add bouquet to the wine, and additionally comprehend the impacts of the edaphoclimatic and annual conditions on the improvement of grape-growing and winemaking practices.

Analysis of the interaction of melatonin with glycolytic proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae during alcoholic fermentation 

Melatonin is a bioactive compound with antioxidant properties, that has been found in many fermented beverages, such as beer and wine [1]. Indeed, it has been shown that yeast can synthesize melatonin during alcoholic fermentation, although its role inside the cell, as well as the metabolic pathway involved in its synthesis, is still unclear [1]. Recent studies showed that during fermentation, melatonin interacts with different proteins of the glycolytic pathway in both Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeast, for instance glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase or enolase [2].
