Estudios de zonificación vitícola en España

Abstract

La delimitación y caracterización de zonas vitícolas plantea en España problemas específicos no sólo por las características peculiares del territorio sino también por el tamaño, distribución e índice de ocupación vitícola, variable en cada una de las denominaciones de origen.
En la fig 1 se incluyen datos de las Denominaciones de Origen en las que se llevan o han llevado a cabo trabajos de zonificación en base a la metodología que se indica en este documento. En total suponen más de ochenta mil hectáreas de viñedo circunscritas en una zona de más de un millón de hectáreas.
La metodología se basa en un análisis del medio que incluye la integración de variables referentes al clima, la vegetación, la topografía, la litología, la morfología del relieve y el suelo y la distribución y productividad del viñedo y ha sido descrita en trabajos anteriores (Gómez-Miguel et al., v.a., Sotés et al., v.a.). El resultado final es un mapa cuyas unidades cartográficas (SMU) sintetizan las relaciones entre Unidad Litológica, Geoforma y Serie de Suelos. El tratamiento de la información generada en las capas tratadas por un Sistema de Información Geográfica (GIS) da como resultado la cuantificación de los contenidos y la posibilidad de su tratamiento estadístico (Fig 5).

Immunotestπ: a new test for the determination of proteic stability in white and rosé wines

Proteic haze is a problem which may occur in all fruit-based beverages and fermented juices (beer, cider, wine). When it occurs, the economic loss is important.

THE ROLE OF CELL WALL POLYSACCHARIDES IN THE EXTRACTION OF ANTHOCYANINS AND TANNINS: RESULTS, PERSPECTIVES OF A MORE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION

The composition of grape berry cell walls was studied on two grape varieties, two years and two maturation levels at the same time as the extraction of anthocyanins and tannins. The chemical composition of skins, seeds, and pulps, focused on polyphenols and polysaccharides, was compared to the chemical composition in polyphenols after extraction from the skins in model solutions or after wine making of the berries. Polyphenols were mainly characterized by UPLC-MS and HPLC-SEC. Polysaccharides were characterized by analysis of the neutral sugar compositions, and also by the CoMPP (comprehensive micropolymer profiling) analysis, a new method which targets the functional groups of cell wall polysaccharides.

Exploring the inhibitor effect of different commercial chitosan-based preparations on malolactic fermentation in rosé wine

Chitosan is a natural polymer of β-D-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units (1,2), that has only recently been approved by OIV for its use in winemaking to help with microbial control, metal chelation, clarification, and reducing contaminants.

The capacity of spectrofluorometric fingerprints to discern changes of wine composition: applications in classifying wine additives and tracking red wine maturation and ageing

Fluorescence spectroscopy combined with chemometrics has shown advantages in wine analysis due to being rapid, sensitive, and selective to fluorescent molecules. Especially due to the abundant phenolic compounds [1], the molecular fingerprints afforded by fluorescence spectroscopy can potentially be used to discern and track the change of wine composition, with two innovative investigations having been implemented.

Overview on wine and health 32 years after the French paradox 

Phenolic compounds or polyphenols are the most abundant and ubiquitous secondary metabolites present in the plant kingdom with more than 8000 phenolic structures currently known. These compounds play an important role in plant growth and reproduction, providing protection against biotic and abiotic stress such as pathogen and insect attack, UV radiation and wounding. (poly)phenols are widely distributed in the human diet mainly in plant-derived food and beverages (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, tea and red wine).
