Impact of water stress on the phenolic composition of cv. Merlot grapes, in a typical terroir of the La Mancha region (Spain)

Development of the indigenous microflora is not insignificant on the wine quality. S. cerevisiae indigenous strains are low tolerant to ethanol.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common disorder associated with cognitive impairment and the main cause of dementia globally. Multiple evidence in the last decade suggest that the gut microbiome plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of AD via the microbiota-gut-brain axis, a network wherein microbiome and the central nervous system crosstalk via endocrine, immune, neural, and microbial metabolites signalling pathways.

The definition of the term “quality” in sensory evaluation of food products does not seem to be consensual. Descriptive or liking methods are generally used to differentiate between wines (Lawless et al., 1997). Nevertheless, quality evaluation of a product such as wine can also relate to emotional aspects. As exposed by Costell (2002), product quality is defined as an integrated impression, like acceptability, pleasure, or emotional experiences during tasting. According to the ‘modality appropriateness’ hypothesis which predicts that wine tasters weigh the most suitable sensory inputs for a specific assess- ment (Freides, 1974; Welch & Warren, 1980), the nature of the quality definitions may modulate sensory influences.

Dans la région des “Vinhos Verdes” les études sur les systèmes de conduite de la vigne sont très importantes et beaucoup de travaux ont été faits pendant les dernières années. Cet essai

Oleocanthal (OC) and oleacein (OL) are highly bioactive secoiridoids found in olive oil at elevated concentrations, especially when it is produced from unripe olives (Olea europaea L.). Both compounds have been correlated with strong activities against serious diseases through recent clinical trials. The most important clinical trials have been performed in patients against chronic lymphocytic
