Identification of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, a gamma nonalactone precursor in must and wine from Bordeaux cultivars

Abstract

Various molecular compounds are responsible for the complex mixture of fragrances that give wine its aroma. In particular, the ‘cooked fruit’ aroma found in red wines from hot and/or dry vintages or from the vinification of late harvested grapes has been intensively investigated in recent years. Lactones and especially γ-nonalactone were found to be responsible for the ‘cooked fruit’ aroma and are able to modulate its intensity. 1,2 This project aimed to study γ-nonalactone formation in order to better predict the intensity of the ‘cooked fruit’ character of wines in relation to the grape maturity. Thanks to our previous work, one precursor of γ-nonalactone has already been identified and quantified in must and wine: the 4-oxononanoic acid. 3 This work is devoted to study alternative γ-nonalactone formation pathways, especially from the products of C18 unsaturated fatty acid peroxidation. 4 That why 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal was suggested as a potential γ-nonalactone precursor. For its quantification in must and wine, the SPE-GC-MS analysis was developed, validated and applied to assaying this compound in must and wine from Bordeaux area. Then, the strereoselective biotransformation of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal into R/S-γ-nonalactone was investigated. Finally, the impact of grape ripening and over-ripening phenomena on 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal content in must was studied.

In conclusion, our results demonstrated the presence of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal in musts and wines and its biotransformation to γ-nonalactone during alcoholic fermentation of red grape varieties. The role of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal as a precursor of the odorous γ-nonalactone in wine is revealed for the first time.

Fermentation Products, Degradation Parameters, (Poly)Phenols And Potassium Content In Tokaji Aszú Winemaking

The historic Tokaj Wine Region in northeast Hungary, a UNESCO World Heritage region since 2002, encompasses 5,500 ha vineyards. Produced from “noble rot” grapes, Tokaji Aszú is known as one of the oldest botrytized wines all over the world. Special microclimatic conditions (due to Bodrog and Tisza rivers, Indian summer), soil conditions (clay, loess on volcanic bedrock) and grape

The use of Hanseniaspora vineae on the production of base sparkling wine

Non-Saccharomyces yeasts have been associated, for many years, with challenging alcoholic fermentation processes. However, during the last decade the use of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in wine production has become increasingly widespread due to the advantages they can offer in mixed inoculations with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc). In this respect, Hanseniaspora vineae (Hv), in synergy with Saccharomyces spp, represents an interesting opportunity to impart a positive contribution to the aroma complexity of wines. In fact, it is a well-known producer of pleasant esters, such as 2-phenylethyl acetate. This study compares the performances of Hv (strain Hv-205) in sequential inoculation modality to Sc in three Chardonnay musts for base sparkling wine production. No significant differences were observed in basic chemical parameters between wines except for titratable acidity, with a significantly decrease (up to 1.5 g/L) in Hv processes due to malic acid degradation. The analysis of the aroma compounds revealed remarkable differences in concentration of volatile metabolites, among others up to 37-fold increase of 2-phenylethyl acetate. In contrast, lower concentration of its alcohol were detected, suggesting higher acetylation activity by Hv.

OTA DEGRADATION BY BACTERIAL LACCASEST

Laccases from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are described as multicopper oxidase enzymes with copper union sites. Among their applications, phenolic compounds’ oxidation and biogenic amines’ degradation, have been described. Besides, the role of LAB in the toxicity reduction of ochratoxin A (OTA) has been reported (Fuchs et al., 2008; Luz et al., 2018). Fungal laccases, but not bacterial laccases, have been screened for OTA and mycotoxins’ degradation (Loi et al., 2018). OTA is a mycotoxin produced by some fungal species, such as Penicillium and Aspergillus sp., which infect grape bunches used for winemaking.
