Effects of temperature on the aroma composition of hydrolysates from grape polyphenolic and aroma fractions (PAFs)

Abstract

AIM: The aim is to assess whether fast anoxic aging hydrolysis (75ºC x 24 h) can satisfactorily predict aroma developed from grape aroma precursors at milder conditions (50ºC x 5 weeks).

METHODS: Twelve different phenolic and aromatic fractions (PAFs) extracted, six from Grenache and the other six fromTempranillo, were reconstituted in model wine and aged in duplicate in two different anoxic conditions. Mild conditions were at 50º for 5 weeks in complete anoxia. Harsh conditions were at 75ºC for 24 hours in complete anoxia. Hydrolysates were further extracted and analysed by four different volatile analysis: esters and major alcohols were analysed by GC-FID, free norisoprenoids, terpenoids, phenols and lactones by GC-MS, Strecker’s aldehydes by GC-MS and varietal thiols were analysed by GC-NCI-MS.

RESULTS: A total of 32 compounds was quantified with RSD between 2 and 15%. Some compounds have concentrations very relevant from the sensory point of view, like TDN (1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene), β-damascenone, massoia lactone and 3-mercaptohexanol (3MH). Grenache samples presented higher concentrations than Tempranillo samples, of 4-vinylguaicol, 4-vinilphenol, linalool, β-citronellol and TDN.Most key aroma compounds can be satisfactorily predicted from the accelerated hydrolysis at 75ºC. Levels of eugenol, massoia lactone, 3MH, β-ionone and vainillin derivatives, released at 75ºC are significantly correlated with those found after 5 weeks at 50ºC, and the slopes do not significantly differ from 1. Levels of β-damascenone and α-terpineol in samples hydrolysed at 75ºC, were however, lightly higher than those found at 50ºC, but were strongly correlated. On the contrary, levels of Riesling acetal were a little higher at 50ºC, but were also strongly correlated.However, levels of TDN, linalool and geraniol in both hydrolytical conditions were poorly correlated. Data suggest that linalool and geraniol can be best represented by the accelerated hydrolysis, while TDN are best represented by the milder hydrolysis.

CONCLUSIONS

Harsh hydrolysis at 75ºC represents a good compromise which makes it possible to get a satisfactory representation of the grape aroma potential. Labile compounds, such as linalool and geraniol are in fact best measured at this temperature. However, long-aging aroma compounds, such as TDN, will require longer hydrolysis times and other relevant aroma compounds with different precursor molecules, such as 4-vinylguaiacol, are also poorly predicted at 75ºC.

EFFECT OF MANNOPROTEIN-RICH EXTRACTS FROM WINE LEES ON PHENOLICCOMPOSITION AND COLOUR OF RED WINE

In 2022, wine production was estimated at around 260 million hl. This high production rate implies to generate a large amount of by-products, which include grape pomace, grape stalks and wine lees. It is estimated that processing 100 tons of grapes leads to ~ 22 tons of by-products from which ~ 6 tons are lees [1]. Wine lees are a sludge-looking material mostly made of dead and living yeast cells, yeast debris and other particles that precipitate at the bottom of wine tanks after alcoholic fermentation. Unlike grape pomace or grape stalks, few strategies have been proposed for the recovery and valorisation of wine less [2].

Early ripening in cool climate viticulture varieties is mainly based on a mutation in ‘Pinot precocé noir’

For a long time, cool climate grapevine breeding has striven for early ripening cultivars to adapt to the former climate conditions.

Application of high-throughput sequencing tools for characterisation of microbial communities during alcoholic fermentation

Developments in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies allow us to obtain large amounts of microbial information from wine and must samples. Thus approaches, that are aimed at characterising the microbial diversity during fermentation, can be enhanced, or possibly even replaced, with HTS-based metabarcoding. To reduce experimental biases and increase data reproducibility, we compared 3 DNA extraction methods by evaluating differences in the fungal diversity with Riesling alcoholic fermentation samples at four different vineyards. The fungal diversity profiling was done using the genetic markers ITS2 and D2 using metabarcoding. The extraction methods compared consisted of a commercial kit, a recently published protocol that includes a DNA enhancer, and a protocol based on a buffer containing common inhibitor removal reagents. All methods were able to distinguish vineyard effects on the fungal diversity, but the results differed quantitatively.

Use of pectinolytic yeast in wine fermentations

The use of pectinolytic enzymes in winemaking is state of the art. These enzymes catalyse the degradation of pectic substances through depolymerization (hydrolases and lyases) and de-esterification. As a result, it supports the extraction of juice and facilitates filtration. It has also been shown in winemaking that the presence of pectinolytic enzymes improves the stability, taste, texture, colour and aroma of products. With regard to enzymes currently applied in winemaking, enzymes derived from filamentous fungi dominate the enzyme industry. Fungal-based pectinolytic enzymes specifically require purification from the culture medium to eliminate unwanted side reactions, which is poorly sustainable. Some non-traditional yeast strains have been reported to exhibit pectinolytic activities. Therefore, the direct use of pectinolytic yeast during wine fermentation process can be an attractive and alternative source for the use of enzymes as input.

From varietal and terroir expression to off-odors: chemical background of wine aroma evolution during aging

Expression of sensory attributes that reflect the varietal and geographical origin of wines (aka terroir) is central to perceived wine quality and reputation of wine producing regions.
