Impact of mannoproteins structural features on the colloid stability when facing different kinds of wine polyphenols

Abstract

The aim was to study the impact of structural features in the polysaccharide moiety of mannoproteins on their interaction with polyphenols and the formation of colloidal aggregates. To this end, mannoproteins fractions were extracted from four different yeast strains: a commercial enological strain (MP-com), the wild-type BY4742 strain (MP-WT) and its mutants ΔMnn4 (MP-Mnn4) and ΔMnn2 (MP-Mnn2). The Mnn4p and Mnn2p are responsible for mannosyl-phosphorylation and branching of the N-glycosylation backbone [1]. Enzymatic extraction was performed using a commercial Endo-beta-1,3-Glucanase of Trichoderma sp. (E-LAMSE, Megazym)[2]. Mannoprotein fractions were thoroughly characterized by composition of their polysaccharide and protein moieties, branching degree, net charge, molecular weight distribution, static and dynamic molecular parameters [3]. Their interactions with seed tannins and a pool of red wine polyphenols and the formation of colloidal aggregates were studied in model solutions at different polyphenol/mannoprotein ratios through Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). Model solutions were followed during one month. The number and size distribution of colloidal aggregates was determined by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA).The four Mannoprotein fractions had broad and high molecular weight distributions, as well as similar protein, polysaccharide mass % and amino acid composition. However, they showed different proportions of mannose and glucose and the structural characterization of the polysaccharide moiety confirmed the expected differences between MP-WT, MP-Mnn2, and MP-Mnn4. DLS and NTA experiments indicated a two-step interaction process between seed tannins and mannoproteins: an immediate formation of colloidal aggregates (150-300 nm), followed by a very progressive evolution related to a reversible aggregate flocculation. The number, dispersity and extent of flocculation were dependent on the tannin/MP ratio. So far, no notable differences were evidenced between the four MP fractions. With the polyphenol pool of red wine, neither DLS nor NTA experiments were able to evidence the formation of colloidal aggregates. This does not mean that interactions do not exist[4,5]. Although the mannoproteins used had different polysaccharide compositions, structures, and properties, no difference in terms of colloidal behavior when in solution with tannins or wine polyphenols was evidenced by the methods applied. Thus, neither the absence of mannosyl phosphate groups (MP-Mnn4) nor the absence of branching of the outer chains of the N-glycosylated carbohydrate structures (MP-Mnn2) seems to play a determining role in the colloidal behavior of mannoproteins in the presence of seed tannins or red wine polyphenols.

Impact of SO2 addition before alcoholic fermentation on the oxidative stability of Chardonnay white wines

Sulfites (SO2) addition during winemaking is a widespread practice worldwide. This addition is realized at different steps of the winemaking due to the antimicrobial and antioxidant capacity of SO2. In a context of understanding white wines oxidative stability, knowledge about the impact of SO2 on the wine molecular diversity, especially compounds involved in the antioxidant capacity of wine, appears to be very important. In recent years, some studies have shown that SO2 can react with a large number of wine compounds resulting in the formation of numerous adducts. The diversity of compounds involved is important including in particular pyruvic acid, 2-keto-glutaric acid, glyceraldehyde, sugar, phenolics compounds but also amino acids or peptides. Moreover Roullier-Gall et al. have shown using FT-ICR-MS analysis that the molecular composition of wines remains impacted by addition of SO2 to the must (0, 4 and 8 g/hL SO2), several years after winemaking. Indeed, wines made from protected must (8g/hL SO2) contain a larger diversity of CHOS and CHONS compounds than wines made from unprotected must (0 g/hL SO2). The study of the impact of glutathione addition on the sensory oxidative stability has further shown that CHOS and CHONS compounds (amino acids, aromatic compounds and peptides) are markers of the antioxidant metabolome of white wines. This suggests that CHOS and CHONS compounds arise from SO2 adducts formation but also from a protecting effect of SO2 on the antioxidant metabolome of white wines.

Soluble solids and firmness responses of a very slow ripening mutant to ripening acceleration treatments

Wine grapes have the ability to accumulate high amounts of hexoses (glucose and fructose), which is considered one of the main processes occurring during the ripening stage. Sugar accumulation dynamics respond to genetic, environmental and vineyard management factors, with a changing climate leading to advanced and faster sugar accumulation worldwide. Research on mitigation techniques to this phenomenon is ongoing, with the largest focus being vineyard techniques to delay sugar accumulation. Breeding represents another powerful tool to address the issue of high sugar concentration at harvest, since historical trends of selecting best sugar-accumulators may be inverted to breed varieties that accumulate diminished concentrations of hexoses while maintaining optimal acidity, color, mouthfeel and aroma compounds.
