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.

Control of bacterial growth in carbonic maceration winemaking through yeast inoculation

Controlling the development of the bacterial population during the winemaking process is essential for obtaining correct wines[1]. Carbonic Maceration (CM) wines are recognised as high-quality young wines. However, due to its particularities, CM winemaking implies a higher risk of bacterial growth: lower SO2 levels, enrichment of the must in nutrients, oxygen trapped between the clusters… Therefore, wines produced by CM have slightly higher volatile acidity values than those produced by the destemming/crushing method[2].

Using 1H-NMR combined with chemometrics to discriminate the effect of different cuts and toasting of woods used for grape pomace distillate ageing

The purpose of this research study is to consider new solutions for distillate ageing, in alternative to conventional oak chips or barrels in particular sliced wood and peeled wood were compared to oak cubes, normally employed during both wine and distillate ageing.

Climate modeling at local scale in the Waipara winegrowing region in the climate change context

In viticulture, a warming climate can have a very significant impact on grapevine development and therefore on the quality and characteristics of wines across different spatial scales, ranging from global to local. In order to adapt wine-growing to climate change, global climate models can be used to define future scenarios, but only at the scale of major wine regions. Despite the huge progress made over the last ten years in terms of the spatial resolution of climate models (now downscaled to a few square kilometres), they are not yet sufficiently precise to account for the local climate variability associated with such parameters as local topography, in spite of these parameters being decisive for vine and wine characteristics. This study describes a method to downscale future climate scenarios to vineyard scale. Networks of data loggers have been used to collect air temperature at canopy level in the Waipara winegrowing region (New Zealand) over five growing seasons. These measurements allow the creation of fine-scale geostatistical models and maps of temperature (at 100 m resolution) for the growing season. In order to model climate change at pilot site scale, these geostatistical models have been combined with regional climate change predictions for the periods 2031-2050 and 2081-2100 based on the RCP8.5 climate change scenario. The integration of local climate variability with regionalized climate change simulations allows assessment of the impacts of climate change at the vineyard scale. The improved knowledge gained using this methodology results from the increased horizontal resolution that better addresses the concerns of winegrowers. The results provide the local winegrowers with information necessary to understand current processes, as well as historical and future viticulture trends at the scale of their site, thereby facilitating decisions about future response strategies.

Grapevine drought tolerant ideotypes to adapt viticulture to climate change

Climate change is challenging the resilience of grapevine, one of the most important crops worldwide. Adapting viticulture to a hotter and drier future will require a multifaceted approach that must include new management strategies, increased irrigation efficiency, and the identification of more drought tolerant genotypes.

Soil, foliar, and juice nitrogen application: influence on fruit and wine for Chardonel grown in Virginia

Nitrogen (N) is applied in the vineyard or the winery in wine production systems. The influence of different routes of N application is not well understood.
