Peptides diversity and oxidative sensitivity: case of specific optimized inactivated yeasts

Abstract

Estimation of the resistance of a wine against oxidation is of great importance for the wine. To that purpose, most of the commonly used chemical assays that are dedicated to estimate the antioxidant (or antiradical) capacity of a wine consist in measuring the capacity of the wine to reduce an oxidative compound or a stable radical. In the must/wine matrix, polyphenols are major compounds likely to react with oxidant or radical, but such reaction generate quinones that then are involved in varietal aroma loss via nucleophilic addition reaction. It raises the paradox that a good antioxidant capacity does not imply a good protection of such sensitive compounds as aromatic compounds which are wine key quality markers.

The authors have developed a methodology focusing on the survival time of a sensitive compound to estimate the oxidative sensitivity of a solution. A labeled nucleophile is monitored by UHPLC-ESI-Q-ToF MS periodically for hours (from 0.5h to 72h) after a chemical initiation of oxidation in wine model solution containing 4-methylcatechol. 7 Cystein containing peptides (alone or in combination) are used to artificially increase the nucleophilic environment (and thus the competition for quinone nucleophilic addition) and estimate the half-life of the labeled nucleophile. In addition, soluble fraction released by different inactivated yeasts are also used as complex source of nucleophiles.

Half-life of the labeled compound is the final expression of several complex mechanisms such as nucleophilic competition, but also oxygen consumption, or catechol reduction.
Independently of the mechanisms, we can observe that increasing the nucleophilic environment improve the half life of the labeled nucleophile. It is notably visible for the specific optimized inactivated yeast which released many cysteine-containing peptides.
Finally, this method relies on the fate of one sensitive nucleophile to estimate the sensitiveness of the whole matrix to oxidation. It estimates the half-life of this compound which allows to compare oxidative sensitivity of different matrices under specific oxidation conditions.

Oenological potential of wines and agronomical characterisation of grapes from five white resistant Italian varieties at Serra Gaúcha, Southern Brazil

Rio grande do sul is the main grape producing state in Brazil, with the largest wine-growing area, responsible by 90% of the national production of wines and grape juices. Serra Gaúcha is the main vitivinicultural region, where around 15% of the area is destined to produce wines from vitis vinifera L. grapes. This region presents high rainfall during the grape maturation cycle, a factor that leads to great risk of attacks by fungal pathogens. the use of resistant varieties can reduce the cost and quantity of spraying, improving wine quality, focusing on a sustainable vitiviniculture.

Wood from barrique: release of phenolic compounds and permeability to oxygen

Chemical and sensory changes occurring in red wine during ageing in oak barrique are due to the slow and gradual entrance of oxygen along with a release of ellagic tannin from the wood. Though oxygen can enter the cask through the bunghole, it is not clear the role of permeation through the wood staves as well as the amount of oxygen entering by permeation. The distribution of the released ellagic tannins in the wine ageing is also unknown. The oxygen passing through the bunghole may have a different wine ageing effect compared to the oxygen permeating through the wooden staves owing to the uneven ellagic tannin concentration throughout the wine.

Organic mulches improve vine vigour, yield and physiological response in a semi-arid region

Recycled organic mulch within the row in vineyard floor management has become an interesting ecological strategy to adapt the crop to climate change consequences in semi-arid regions.
This study aimed to assess the impact of three recycled organic mulches [straw (STR), grape pruning debris (GPD), and spent mushroom compost (SMC)] and two conventional soil management practices [herbicide (HERB) and under-row tillage (TILL)] on vegetative vigour (NDVI), production (kg/plant), and physiological parameters (δ13C in grapes and leaf gas exchange during four grapevine phenology stages). Additionally, temperature and water soil parameters were collected at three soil depths. Data was collected during the 2021 and 2022 grapevine growing seasons in La Rioja, Spain.

Are Farm to fork strategy goals reasonable and achievable? State of the art of Península de Setubal’s winegrowers

The European Union’s “farm to fork” strategy sets out several objectives to be achieved by farmers, who, among others, relate to increasing biodiversity, protecting soils and reducing the use of pesticides. At a time when the amendments to the national plans of Sustainable Use of pesticides are being discussed, it is important to understand what the Setúbal Peninsula region status is.
