Exploring the dynamic between yeast mannoproteins structure and wine stability

Abstract

Mannoproteins are macromolecules found on the surface of yeast cells, composed of hyperbranched polysaccharide negatively charged chains by mannosyl-phosphate groups, fixed to a protein core.  During the alcoholic fermentation and aging on lees, these mannoproteins are released from the yeast cell wall and become the main yeast-sourced polysaccharide in wine. Due to their techno-functional properties, commercial preparations of mannoproteins can be used as additives to better assure tartaric and protein stability. The impact of mannoproteins on the organoleptic perception and stability of wines goes beyond since they can interact with some of the most abundant wine polyphenols.  However, the comprehension of how the molecular aspects mold mannoprotein properties and the interaction mechanisms that take place is still in its early stages since a full characterization of relatively low polydisperse fractions is not systematically done and only a few research labs can perform.  Mannoproteins extracted and purified from different yeast strains – torulaspora delbruecki, hanseniaspora vinae, schizosaccharomyces japonicus, saccharomyces cerevisiae, and s. Cerevisiae mutants mnn2 (non-hyperbranched polysaccharide part) and mnn4 (no mannosyl-phosphorylation) – were thoroughly characterized in terms of: protein composition; polysaccharide composition and glycosyl-linkage; global net charge; molecular size and mass distributions, as well as average molar weight and number (mw and mn) and polydispersity index (mw/mn); intrinsic viscosity ([ɳ]); conformation, etc. Among the mannoproteins from the different studied non-saccharomyces strains, the composition of one stood out with the presence of uncommon neutral and acidic sugars. Although completely formed of mannan chains, the other two non-saccharomyces sourced mannoproteins had different glycosyl-linkage compositions when compared to the s. Cerevisiae strain mannoproteins. Differences in composition between mannoproteins from saccharomyces and non-saccharomyces strains affected the molecular conformation and compactness, as well as global net charge.  These mannoproteins are under investigation for their capacity to prevent protein haze. Preliminary results indicate that the studied mannoproteins reduce the increase of white wine turbidity after the heat tests applied. The deltantu factor related to the protein haze formation was more or less intense depending on the mannoprotein used.

Esplorazione della dinamica tra struttura delle mannoproteine del lievito e stabilità del vino

Le mannoproteine sono macromolecole presenti sulla superficie delle cellule di lievito, composte da catene polisaccaridiche iper-ramificate caricate negativamente da gruppi mannosil-fosfato, fissate a un cuore proteico. Durante la fermentazione alcolica e l’affinamento sulle fecce, queste mannoproteine vengono rilasciate dalla parete cellulare del lievito e diventano il principale polisaccaride del lievito nel vino. Grazie alle loro proprietà tecno-funzionali, delle preparazioni commerciali di mannoproteine possono essere utilizzate come additivi per assicurare la stabilità tartarica e proteica. L’impatto delle mannoproteine sulla percezione organolettica e sulla stabilità dei vini va oltre, dato che queste possono interagire con alcuni dei polifenoli più abbondanti del vino.  Tuttavia, la comprensione di come gli aspetti molecolari forgiano le proprietà delle mannoproteine e i meccanismi di interazione che hanno luogo è ancora agli esordi, poiché una caratterizzazione completa delle frazioni relativamente poco polidisperse non viene effettuata sistematicamente e solo pochi laboratori di ricerca sono in grado di eseguirla.  Mannoproteine estratte e purificate da diversi ceppi di lievito – torulaspora delbruecki, hanseniaspora vinae, schizosaccharomyces japonicus, saccharomyces cerevisiae e mutanti di s. Cerevisiae δmnn2 (parte polisaccaridica non iper-ramificata) e δmnn4 (assenza di mannosil-fosforilazione) – sono stati caratterizzati in modo approfondito in termini di: composizione proteica; composizione polisaccaridica e legami glicosilici; carica netta globale; dimensioni molecolari e distribuzioni di massa, nonché peso e numero molare medio (mw e mn) e indice di polidispersità (mw/mn); viscosità intrinseca ([ɳ]); conformazione, ecc. Tra le mannoproteine dei diversi ceppi non-saccharomyces studiati, la composizione di una si è distinta per la presenza di zuccheri neutri e acidi non comuni. Sebbene fossero completamente formate da catene di mannano, le altre due mannoproteine di origine non saccharomyces presentavano composizioni di legami glicosilici diverse rispetto alle mannoproteine del ceppo s. Cerevisiae. Le differenze di composizione tra le mannoproteine di ceppi saccharomyces e non saccharomyces influenziano la conformazione e la compattezza molecolare, oltre che la carica netta globale. Queste mannoproteine sono in fase di studio per la loro capacità di prevenire la torbidità proteica. I risultati preliminari dei test termici effettuati, indicano che le mannoproteine studiate limitano l’aumento della torbidità del vino bianco e che il fattore δntu relativo alla formazione di torbidità proteica è risultato più o meno intenso a seconda della mannoproteina utilizzata.

Exploration de la dynamique entre la structure des mannoprotéines de levure et la stabilité du vin

Les mannoprotéines sont des macromolécules présentes à la surface des cellules de levure, composées de chaînes de polysaccharides hyperbranchées chargées négativement par des groupes mannosyl-phosphate, fixées à un noyau protéique.  Au cours de la fermentation alcoolique et du vieillissement sur lies, ces mannoprotéines sont libérées de la paroi cellulaire de la levure et deviennent le principal polysaccharide d’origine levurienne dans le vin. En raison de leurs propriétés techno-fonctionnelles, les préparations commerciales de mannoprotéines peuvent être utilisées comme additifs pour mieux assurer la stabilité tartrique et protéique. L’impact des mannoprotéines sur la perception organoleptique et la stabilité des vins va au-delà puisqu’elles peuvent interagir avec certains des polyphénols les plus abondants dans le vin. Cependant, la compréhension de la façon dont les aspects moléculaires façonnent les propriétés des mannoprotéines et les mécanismes d’interaction qui ont lieu n’en est qu’à ses débuts puisqu’une caractérisation complète des fractions relativement peu polydisperses n’est pas systématiquement réalisée et que seuls quelques laboratoires de recherche peuvent l’effectuer.  Les mannoprotéines extraites et purifiées de différentes souches de levure – torulaspora delbruecki, hanseniaspora vinae, schizosaccharomyces japonicus, saccharomyces cerevisiae, et mutants de s. Cerevisiae mutants mnn2 (partie polysaccharide non hyperbranchée) et mnn4 (pas de mannosyl-phosphorylation) – ont été caractérisées de manière approfondie en termes de : composition protéique ; composition polysaccharidique et liaison glycosidique ; charge nette globale ; distribution de la taille moléculaire et de la masse, ainsi que le poids molaire moyen et le nombre (mw et mn) et l’indice de polydispersité (mw/mn) ; et la viscosité intrinsèque ([ɳ]) ; et la conformation, etc.  Parmi les mannoprotéines des différentes souches non-saccharomyces, la composition de l’une d’entre elles se distingue par la présence des oses neutres et acides peu communs. Bien qu’entièrement formées de chaînes mannanes, les deux autres mannoprotéines d’origine non-saccharomyces présentaient des compositions de liaisons glycosidique différentes de celles des mannoprotéines de la souche s. Cerevisiae. Les différences de composition entre les mannoprotéines des souches saccharomyces et non-saccharomyces affectent la conformation moléculaire et la compacité, ainsi que la charge nette globale. Les différents types de ces mannoprotéines font l’objet d’une étude visant à déterminer leur capacité à prévenir la casse protéique. Les résultats préliminaires indiquent que les mannoprotéines étudiées limitent l’augmentation de la turbidité du vin blanc après les tests à la chaleur. Le facteur deltantu lié à la formation du trouble protéique est plus ou moins intense selon la mannoprotéine utilisée.

Transforming the grapevine world through new breeding techniques

Climate change and environmental degradation are existential threats to europe and the world. One of the most important objectives is to reduce by 2030 the use and the risk of chemical pesticides and fertilisers, reducing nutrient losses and increasing organic farming. Grapevine (vitis spp.) is one of the major and most economically important fruit crops worldwide. It is characterised by high levels of genetic diversity, as result of natural genetic mutations, which are common in grapevines and further assisted by ongoing vegetative propagation.

Contribution of grape seeds to evolution of acetaldehyde, pigments and tannins reactive towards salivary proteins of red wine over time

This study investigated the impact of the gsk/gse ratio on the evolution of acetaldehyde and of major phenolic compounds of aglianico wine in wine like solution and real wine. Four model solutions and the correspondant control wines were prepared. The natural weight ratio between grape skins and seeds was determined on the real grapes, and a control wine was obtained from those.

A look back at 20 years of exploring the future of the vines and wines sector

What if, in 25 years, most wines were dealcoholized and flavored ? What if vines were only cultivated to combat erosion, store carbon, and provide anthocyanins…? What if climate change completely changed the list of vine varieties cultivable for wine production in France? What if food stores had completely disappeared in favor of virtual platforms? And if… because the long-term future is not predetermined and therefore not knowable, because the future is open to several possibilities, because the future does not emerge from nothing but from the present which conceals heavy trends and weak signals, prospective approaches make it possible to consider the room for maneuver that actors have to promote the advent of a future, which we can hope to be chosen, at least in part.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi as biomarkers of vineyard yield in Champagne

The vine is colonized by a multitude of micro-organisms (fungi, bacteria, oomycetes) mainly coming from the microbial reservoir constituted by the soil. These microorganisms have positive or negative effects on the vine (protection against pathogens, resistance to abiotic stress, nutrition, but also triggering of diseases) (Fournier, Pellan et al. 2022). In addition to these functional roles, they respond quickly to environmental changes (climate, cultural practices) which could make them good bioindicators of the functioning of the wine ecosystem.

The influence of RNAi-expressing rootstocks in controlling grey mold on grapevine cultivars

Worldwide, with an average of 6.7 million cultivated hectares, of which exclusively 51% in Europe (faostat, 2021), the production of table and wine grapes is a leading sector, with continued growth in Europe in the area devoted to vine cultivation. during the growing season, most of the plant organs can be susceptible to several fungal and oomycete diseases, leading to important economic losses and causing detrimental effects on fruit quality. the increasingly scarce availability of fungicidal products, often also related to their relative impact on the environment, coupled with the emergence of resistance in the pathogen to these products, make defence increasingly challenging.
