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.

ADDITION OF OAK WOOD ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: QUALITATIVE AND SENSORIAL EFFECTS FOR A WHITE WINE OF ALIGOTE

Wines matured in contact with wood are extremely popular with consumers all over the world. Oak wood allows the organoleptic characteristics of wine to be modified. Wines are enriched with volatile and non-volatile compounds extracted from the wood. The aromas extracted from oak wood contribute to the construction of the wine’s aromatic profile and the main polyphenols extracted can modify taste perceptions such as astringency and bitterness. All the compounds extracted from the wood thus contribute to the balance and quality of the wines.

Sensory impact of acetaldehyde addition in Syrah red wines

Acetaldehyde is a volatile carbonyl compound synthetized by yeast during alcoholic fermentation, but it can also be formed by oxidation of ethanol during wine aging [1]. At low concentration, it enhances the fruity aroma, however, at higher levels, it can generate the appearance of notes of bruised and rotten apple [2]. From a chemical point of view, acetaldehyde is a reactive low-

Investigating three proximal remote sensing techniques for vineyard yield monitoring

Yield monitoring can provide the winegrowers with information for precise production inputs during the season, thereby, ensuring the best possible harvest. Yield estimation is currently achieved through an intensive process that is destructive and time-consuming. However, remote sensing provides a group of proximal technologies and techniques for a non-destructive and less time-consuming method for yield monitoring.The objective of this study was to analyse three different approaches, for measuring grapevine yield close to harvest.

Effect of intra‐vineyard ripeness variation on the efficiency of commercial enzymes on berry cell wall deconstruction under winemaking conditions

Intra-vineyard variation grape berry ripening occurs within bunches, between bunches on the same vine and between vines. Although it is assumed that such variation also occurs at the grape berry cell wall level, no study to data has investigated in any depth. Here we have used a intra-vineyard panel design to investigate pooled bunches from six vines (per panel) in the context of a winemaking scenario. The dissected vineyard was harvested by separate panels, where each panel was then subjected to a standard winemaking procedure with or without the addition of three different enzyme preparations for maceration.

Nitrogen metabolism in Kluyveromyces marxianus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae: towards a better understanding of fermentation aroma production

During wine alcoholic fermentation, yeasts produce volatile aroma compounds from sugar and nitrogen metabolism. Some of the metabolic pathways leading to these compounds have been known for more than a century.
