Autochthonous non-Saccharomyces extra-cellular metabolism of tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine

Abstract

Amino acids are crucial nitrogen sources in yeast metabolism, influencing both biomass production and fermentation rate. The breakdown byproducts of amino acids contribute to the aroma of the wine and wine’s health benefit compounds. This study focused on the yeast’s extracellular metabolic profile of tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine belonging to the group of aromatic amino acids in experimental Maraština wines. Alcoholic fermentations were conducted on sterile grape Maraština must using seven autochthonous non-Saccharomycesyeasts in sequential fermentation with commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Trials were performed with isolates Metschnikowia pulcherrima K-6, Metschnikowia chyrsoperlae K-11, Metschnikowia sinensis/shanxiensis P-7, Lachancea thermotolerans P-25, Pichia kluyveri Z-3, Hanseniaspora uvarum Z-7, and Hanseniaspora guillermondii N-29, each in triplicate. The control treatment involved commercial strains L. thermotolerans, M. pulcherrima, and S. cerevisiae. A UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS method was employed to monitor 37 metabolites, with 26 detected in the extracellular extracts produced by yeasts. The most significant changes in the concentration of identified compounds occurred in M. sinensis/shanxiensis/S. cerevisiae and H. guillermondii/S. cerevisiae ferments. M. sinensis/shanxiensiswith S. cerevisiae produced higher amounts of N-acetyl derivatives of tryptophan and phenylalanine, as well as xanthurenic acid and tyramine. Wines produced by H. guillermondii in sequential fermentation with S. cerevisiae had the highest concentration of L-kynurenine and 3-hydroxy anthranilic acid. These findings contribute to our understanding of how autochthonous non-Saccharomyces yeasts contribute to the aroma profile of wines, providing new insights into biotechnological tools for the production of wine starter cultures.

Spectral features of vine leaves are influenced by their mineral content

The reflectance spectra of vegetation carry potentially useful information that can be used to determine chemical composition and discriminate between vegetation classes. If compared with analytical methods such as conventional chemical analysis, reflectance measurement provides non-destructive, economic, near real-time data.

Rootstock regulation of scion phenotypes: the relationship between rootstock parentage and petiole mineral concentration

Grapevine is grown grafted in most of the world largely because of Phylloxera. Rootstocks not only provide tolerance to Phylloxera, but also ensure the supply of water and mineral nutrients to the scion. Rootstocks are an important means of adaptation to environmental conditions if we want to conserve the typical features of the currently used scion genotypes. To aid this adaptation, we can exploit the large diversity of rootstocks used worldwide. To fully explore this existing rootstock diversity, this work benefits from the unique GreffAdapt vineyard, in which four scion genotypes were studied onto 55 commercial rootstocks in three blocks. The aim of this study was to characterise rootstock regulation of scion mineral status and how it relates to scion development.

Overhead spray water treatment as a mitigation strategy for reducing vine stress and preserving grape quality during heatwaves

Changes in climate have been influencing the quality of wine grapes worldwide. The impact of extreme climate events over short periods is increasingly recognized as a serious risk to grape quality and yield quantity. In this study the mitigation effects of a pulsed water spray on vine canopy during heatwave events has been evaluated for maintaining vine condition during the growing season and grape quality. Vines of three varieties (Malbec, Bonarda, and Syrah) under drip irrigation in the UNCuyo experimental vineyard were treated with an overhead pulsed water spray.
