Volatile fraction of young Cabernet Sauvignon from Santa Catarina State, a new terroir in Brazil

Abstract

A total of 52 volatile compounds were measured in varietal Cabernet Sauvignon wines from four sites in Santa Catarina State (Brazil), over two consecutive vintages (2004 and 2005). Concentrations were measured by gas chromatography using FID, FPD and mass spectrometry as detectors. Principal Component Analysis of the concentrations of the varietal compounds showed a strong dependence on the characteristics of the soil in the vineyards (p<0.05). In contrast, little differentiation of the fermentative aromatic compounds was found in each vintage at all the sites. The levels of α- ionone (violet note) and β-ionone (violet, berry notes) were inversely related. ß-ionone was found above its threshold concentration (90 ng/l) in all samples except Bom Retiro 2004 vintage. α-Ionone was found to be well below its threshold concentration (400 ng/l) in all the samples. Only the Bom Retiro wines have higher concentrations of α- ionone than β-ionone, in both vintages. This indicates that these compounds can be markers for differentiating these Cabernet Sauvignon wines. The vineyard soils were classified as Inceptisols (for São Joaquim A, São Joaquim B, Bom Retiro vineyards) and as Oxisols (for Videira vineyard), according to U.S.D.A. classification of soil taxonomy.

Application of high power ultrasounds during red wine vinification

Wine color is one of the main organoleptic characteristics influencing its quality. It is of especial interest in red vinifications due to the economic resources that wineries have to invest for the extraction of the phenolic compounds responsible of wine color, compounds that are mainly located inside the skin cell vacuoles. Moreover, these phenolic compounds not only influence color but also other organoleptic properties such as body, mouthfeel, astringency and flavour. The transference of phenolic compounds from grapes to must during vinification is closely related with the type of grapes and the winemaking technique.

Influence of successive oxygen saturations of a grape juice, supplemented or not with laccase, on its color and hydroxycinnamic acids concentration

Aim: This work studies how successive O2 saturations affects the color and hydroxycinnamic
acids concentration in the absence and presence of laccase from B. cinerea with the aim of better understanding the browning processes.

Materials and methods: Grapes of Muscat of Alexandria were harvested and pressed with a vertical press to extract 60% of their juice. Aliquots of 30 mL of this must were placed in 60 mL flasks equipped with a pill (PreSens Precision Sensing GmbH) for measuring oxygen by luminescence (Nomasense TM O2 Trace Oxygen Analyzer).
