Molecular binding mechanisms between grape seed polypeptides and wine anthocyanins by fluorescence spectroscopy and computational techniques

Abstract

In recent years, proteins endogenous to grape have become of great interest to the wine industry because they represent a new alternative to other biopolymers subjected to more legal restrictions (i.e. animal origin and synthetics) that can be used in technological applications to modulate sensory attributes such as wine color and have a positive impact on wine quality.
Due to their great techno-functional value, some major protein components of grape seed endosperm have been identified and its potential use for color protection purposes have been already tested in wines at experimental scale. Notwithstanding, the capability of proteins to modulate sensory properties is highly dependent on their structural features, their ability to form specific 3D conformations, and the interaction with other molecules present in food matrices such as anthocyanin pigments in wines. Recently, we have confirmed by means of theoretical studies that grape seed  globulins can stablish different types of interactions (hydrogen bonding, alkyl and π-π) with the main grape anthocyanin (malvidin 3-gl).To date, however, such as interactions has been scarcely studied. Although a basic molecular interaction mechanism similar to copigmentation has been suggested, many questions still remain unclarified. In this sense, a deeper molecular understanding of the grape seed protein-anthocyanin interactions is needed to better define their potential uses and technological applications.
Thus, the main objective of this work was to explore new molecular binding mechanisms between grape seed polypeptides and wine anthocyanins in model wine solutions through fluorescence spectroscopy and computational techniques. For this purpose, fluorescence extinction spectroscopy was used to experimentally confirm the possible interaction mechanisms, the affinity constants, the stoichiometry of the complexes and other thermodynamic parameters. In addition, molecular modelling techniques, such as docking studies, were used to model the  most energetically favorable binding sites of wine anthocyanins on the grape seed polypeptide. Results will provide insights and substantial information about protection to colors expressed by anthocyanins in red wine.

Screening of aroma metabolites within a set of 90 Saccharomyces strains

Currently, the main demand in the global wine market relies on products with unique flavour profiles, character, and typicity, and the metabolism of yeasts greatly influences the organoleptic properties of wines. Therefore, the natural diversity of Saccharomyces strains rises in interest over the last decade, but a large part of this phenotypic diversity remains unexplored

Étude des relations sol-vigne sur le vignoble de Côte Rôtie

La topographie du vignoble de Côte Rôtie, la prédominance de la non culture ainsi que la structure très légère des sols amènent les vignerons à s’interroger sur l’entretien du sol, la conduite de la fertilisation de leurs parcelles ainsi que sur le développement racinaire de la vigne.

Geospatial trends of bioclimatic indexes in the topographically complex region of Barolo DOCG

Barolo DOCG is an economically important wine producing region in Northwest Italy. It is a small region of approximately 70 km2 gross area. The topography is very complex with steep sloped hills ranging in elevation from below 200 m to 550 m. Barolo DOCG wine is made exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape. Bioclimatic indexes are often used in viticulture to gain a better understanding of broader climate trends which can be compared temporally and geographically. These indexes are also used for identifying potential phenological timing, growing region suitability, and potential risks associated with expected climatic changes. Understanding how topography influences bioclimatic indexes can help with understanding of mesoscale climate behaviour leading to improved decision making and risk management strategies. The average monthly maximum and minimum temperatures, the Cool Night Index, the Huglin Index, and the monthly diurnal range (from July to October) were calculated using data from 45 weather stations within a 40 km radius of the Barolo DOCG growing area between the years 1996 and 2019. Linear and multiple regression models were developed using independent variables (elevation, aspect, slope) extracted from a digital elevation model to identify significant relationships. Bioclimatic indexes were then kriged with external drift using independent variables that showed significant relationships with the bioclimatic index using a 100 m resolution grid. The maximum monthly temperatures and the Huglin Index showed consistent significant negative relationships with elevation in all years. The minimum monthly temperatures showed no relationship with elevation but in some months a small but significant relationship was observed with aspect. Due to the lack of a relationship between minimum monthly temperatures and elevation compared to the significant relationship between maximum monthly temperatures and elevation, monthly diurnal range had a negative relationship with elevation.

Hyperspectral imaging for the appraisal of varietal aroma composition along maturation in intact Vitis vinifera L. Tempranillo Blanco berries

The knowledge of the grape aromatic composition during ripening provides very important information for winegrowers, who may carry out different viticultural practices, or determine the harvest date more accurately. However, there are currently no tools that allow this measurement to be carried out in a non-invasive and rapid way. For this reason, the aim of this work was to design a non-invasive methodology, based on hyperspectral imaging to estimate the aromatic composition and total soluble solids (TSS) of Tempranillo Blanco berries during ripening.
