Application of uv-led in wine as an alternative to sulphur dioxide

Abstract

Sulfites (SO2) are commonly used in the wine industry to preserve products during storage for antiseptic and antioxidant purposes (Oliveira et al., 2011). However, the presence of sulfites at varying concentrations has been linked to allergic reactions in some consumers, such as dermatitis, urticaria, abdominal pain, among others (Vally & Thompson, 2001). UV-LED irradiation has been is an attractive technology of non-thermal nature and is an alternative to partially or totally replace the addition of SO2 to wine, due to its antimicrobial effect (Conner et al., 1998; Falguera et al., 2013). In this study, the effect of the UV-LED irradiation on the activity of Acetobacter aceti ATCC 15973 of white wine (Sauvignon blanc) and red wine (Pinot noir) was evaluated. A laboratory scale static UV LED irradiation system was designed, composed of four diodes with wavelengths of 278 nm (8-12 mW), 275 nm (3-5 mW) and 265 nm (1-3 mW) and irradiation times of 10, 20 and 30 min. The results indicate that irradiation at a wavelength of 278 nm for 30 minutes completely eliminated the A. aceti concentration (CFU/ml) in white wine. Irradiation of white wine at wavelengths of 275 and 265 nm for 30 min resulted in a logarithmic reduction of approximately 2.4. UV-LED irradiation processing of red wine was not as efficacious in eliminating A. aceti (CFU/ml), however, a logarithmic reduction of 4 was evidenced over 30 min. Therefore, the results obtained from the static UV LED irradiation process for white wine (Sauvignon blanc) and red wine (Pinot noir) showed that with diodes at a wavelength of 278 nm and a time of 30 min, the concentration of A. aceti ATCC 15973 was significantly reduced, which is relevant to control to maintain the quality of the wines. Furthermore, this technology could be an advantageous alternative to avoid the excessive use of sulphites in wine products. The effect on the final quality aspects of wine needs to be further clarified.

Screening of different commercial wine yeast strains: the effect of sugar and copper additions on fermentation and volatile acidity production

The aims of this study were to examine the effect of high sugar concentrations of must and copper residues on different commercial wine yeasts. Copper originating from pesticides has been known to inhibit yeast, but it’s effect on fermentation performance and VA production of different yeast strains had not been investigated in detail.

From local classification to regional zoning-the use of a geographic information system (GIS) in Franconia / Germany. Part 1: specific GIS applications in viticulture

En vue d’une production économique de qualités des raisins optimales une connaissance des informations les plus différentes est importante. Les nouvelles technologies, telles qu’un SIG permettent de réunir les informations sur le terrain, la nature du sol, le danger d’érosion, le climat, la végétation, l’hydrographie, l’apparition de nuisible et de maladies, etc. Sur la base de cartes topographiques un SIG permet une vaste analyse, une appréciation des rapports complexes ainsi qu’une représentation cartographique. Sur la base de modélisations en trois dimensions du terrain avec le SIG, les ensembles de données saisies ainsi que leur classification au niveau local peuvent être utilisés dans la production de zonages régionaux.

Viticultura protegida: uso de mallas sombreadoras fotoselectivas como una herramienta para enfrentar la crisis climática en uva de mesa en el norte de Chile

The production of table grapes in Chile is of great importance, being one of the main established fruit crops with over 43,000 hectares distributed across a diverse climate range, from the southern limit of the Atacama desert to the mediterranean zone. Chile is also one of the leading exporters of table grapes. producers must confront the challenges posed by the climate crisis, such as decreased rainfall, increased heatwaves, and extreme temperature events during the growing season, mainly associated with desertification in northern Chile (Atacama and Coquimbo regions).

Vignobles sur les pentes en Bourgogne : l’aube d’un nouveau modèle de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge

La découverte d’une vigne gallo-romaine en plaine à Gevrey-Chambertin (Côte-d’Or) constitue un point important pour la compréhension de la construction des terroirs viticoles de Bourgogne. Sa situation en plaine constitue pour nous le point de départ d’une large réflexion sur la mise en place du modèle de viticulture de coteau qui prévaut en Bourgogne et sur les facteurs de ce changement de norme de qualité viticole. Les sources mobilisées pour cette approche interdisciplinaire et diachronique sont géomorphologiques, archéologiques et textuelles.
