Effects of different antioxidant strategies on the phenolic evolution during the course of a white winemaking process

Abstract

This work aimed to evaluate the evolution of phenolic compounds during white winemaking process up to bottling and 12 months storage, together with the influence of different antioxidant strategies (e.g. fining on lees and addition of sulfur dioxide, ascorbic acid, glutathione, and chitosan) on the overall kinetics. To this purpose, a mass spectrometric approach has been adopted by using HPLC-MS/MS, in order to get new insights in the understanding of wine oxidation processes. Sulphonated compounds related to oxidation were identified (e.g. S-sulfonated glutathione, and tryptophol and indole-3-lactic sulfonates) and their production was revealed to occur after alcoholic fermentation or fining on lees and to increase after 10 months of storage. On the other hand, treatments with chitosan during winemaking seemed linked to the hydrolysis of hydroxycinnamates, releasing their corresponding hydroxycinnamic acids. Surprisingly, when present during storage in bottle a particular behavior of chitosan was observed, where this biopolymer avoided the phenomenon of hydrolysis and showed higher inhibition against phenolic products of oxidation such as hydroxycaffeic acid dimers. Furthermore, the addition of ascorbic acid to chitosan-treated wines before bottling, reduced the generation of oxidations products and raised the production of GRP derived phenols, correlated to a better protection against oxygen. The absorption properties of chitosan with regard to phenolics were also proposed to have some consequences on the evolution of wine browning. Based on these results, the knowledge about polyphenols fate may represent a useful approach to manage the antioxidant strategies during winemaking processes.

USING CHECK-ALL-THAT-APPLY (CATA) TO CATEGORIZE WINES: A DECISION-MAKING TOOL FOR WINE SELECTION

Bordeaux is the largest appellation vineyard in France. This contrasting vineyard with varied terroirs offers all styles of wine, resulting from the blending of several grape varieties. If these different profiles make the renown of Bordeaux wines, it can appear as a constraint when the aim is to study Bordeaux wines in their diversity. The selection of a representative sample can be performed by a sensory analysis carried out by trained panelists or by wine professionals, which can take several forms: consensus among experts, conventional descriptive analysis, typicality or quality evaluation. However, because of time, economic, and logistical constraints, these methods have limited applications. As an alternative to classical descriptive analysis, more intuitive methods that do not require training have been proposed recently to describe wines using an expert panel such as Napping, Free Choice or Flash Profiling, CATA or RATA.

Effect of Quercus Alba oak barrels from different forests on the polyphenolic composition of Tempranillo red wines

The species and origin used for red wine oak aging determines the physiological composition of the wood and thus the finished wines. In America, oak is grown primarily in the states of Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky, Oregon, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin and California. The aim of this study was to analyze how the choice of barrels made with Quercus Alba oak from different geographic areas of the United States (Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania) influences the polyphenolic composition of Tempranillo red wines.

The use of δ13C as an indicator of water use efficiency for the selection of drought tolerant grapevine varieties

In the context of climate change with increasing evaporative demand, understanding the water use behavior of different grapevine cultivars is of critical importance. Carbon isotope discrimination (δ13C) measurements in wine provide a precise and integrated assessment of the water status of the vines during the sugar accumulation period in grape berries. When collected over multiple vintages on different cultivars, δ13C measurements can also provide insights into the effects of genotype on water use efficiency.

Uve e vini in vulcaniti basiche anorogeniche dei lessini meridionali, impronta petrochimica e assimilazione di metalli pesanti

Nel 2009 sono stati prelevati e analizzati mediante XRF (X-ray fluorescence) campioni di suolo, in vigneti sperimentali siti nelle province di Vicenza e di Ancona. Sono stati inoltre determinati in 2 campioni di mosto e 2 di vino delle varietà Verdicchio e Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, ed in 2 di uva Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, gli elementi in traccia mediante ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry).
