Phenolic characterization of four different red varieties with “Caíño” denomination cultivated in Northwestern Spain

Abstract

In this work, these four red varieties were characterized in terms of phenolic composition. Thus, the anthocyanin accumulation and the extractability evolution during ripening were compared. The extractability assays were carried out using similar pH conditions than those involved in winemaking process. Furthermore, seed phenolic maturity was determined in order to obtain information about the tannin aggressiveness. These parameters are of great importance not only for the varietal differentiation but also for the planning and management of winemaking process. On the other hand, the anthocyanin distribution was determined because it permits the assessment of varietal differentiation, being it considered as a taxonomic characteristic.
Total anthocyanin concentration was significantly greater for Caíño Longo variety, while extractable anthocyanin content for this variety was similar than that corresponding to Caíño Astureses variety. Furthermore, the lowest total and extractable anthocyanin concentrations were associated with Caíño Redondo and Caíño da Terra cultivars. Thus, the extraction facility showed good skin ripeness grade only for Caíño Astureses variety. Furthermore, the seed ripeness resulted to be particularly incomplete for Caíño Astureses and Caíño Redondo varieties, which indicates their worse adaptation to the “terroir”. Malvidin glucoside was the majority anthocyanin in all the varieties studied, excepting the Caíño da Terra variety. The Caíño Longo cultivar showed results statistically higher, while the Caíño da Terra cultivar presented the lowest values of this compound.

Screening sensory-directed methodology for the selection of non-saccharomyces wine yeasts based on perceived aroma quality

The present work contributes by developing a rapid sensory-directed methodology for the screening and selection of high quality wines with different sensory profiles Therefore, Verdejo and Tempranillo musts were fermented with 50 different yeasts each under controlled laboratory conditions. Resulting samples were firstly categorized according to five levels of quality by a panel of wine professionals (Sáenz-Navajas, Ballester et al. 2013). Higher quality samples were described by flash profiling by a semi-trained panel
(Valentin, Chollet et al. 2012) and most distinctive samples were screened by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) (López, Aznar et al. 2002).

Impact of temperature and solar radiation on grape composition variability in the Saint-Emilion winegrowing area 

Grape composition is strongly influenced by climate conditions. Their expected modifications in near future, notably because of increased temperatures, could significantly modify the biochemical composition of berries at harvest, and thus wine typicity and quality. Elevated temperatures favor sugar accumulation in grapes, enhance malic acid degradation and modify the amino acid content. They also reduce significantly anthocyanin accumulation in Merlot, leading to the imbalance between anthocyanins and sugars, while no significant effects on final anthocyanin levels were reported in Tempranillo[1] and finally affect aromas or aroma precursors.

Anthocyanins Chemistry During Red Wine Ageing

Anthocyanins are the main pigments present in young red wines, being responsible for their intense red color. These pigment in aqueous solutions occur in different forms in equilibrium that are dependent on the pH

Mechanistic insights into the bioavailability of oleocanthal and oleacein from olive oil in presence of wine active peptides and amino acids

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

Scalable asymptomatic grapevine leafroll virus complex-3 detection through integrated airborne imaging spectroscopy, autonomous robotics, and cloud computing

The past three decades of terrestrial remote sensing research have delivered unprecedented insights into our fundamental ability to detect, quantify, and differentiate plant disease (Gold 2021). However, much of our fundamental knowledge in this domain has come from studies in non-agricultural systems and until recently, most agricultural studies, when extant, have focused on tree crops where canopy closure and large plot and plant size facilitate stress detection at low spatial resolution. Recent engineering innovations and advancements in constellation architecture design have refined the accuracy and scalability of airborne and spaceborne sensing platforms, enabling us to monitor diverse specialty crops, including grapevine, planted in smaller, spatially varied fields.
