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.

SAVOIR: A project promoting innovative and effective prophylactic methods in viticulture, as part of the governmental plan to anticipate the withdrawal of plant protection products in France (PARSADA)

Faced with the likely withdrawal of commercial specialities from use in the short to medium term, France has decided to implement an ambitious action plan to anticipate and avoid withdrawal without alternative solutions. The French wine industry (cniv and ifv) has been heavily involved in this action to define priorities. faced with the risk of the withdrawal of multi-site fungicides (folpel, dithianon, copper) coupled with the probable reduction in single-site fungicide solutions, mildew and black rot have been identified as the priority uses.

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.

Alternative methods to evaluate the pinking susceptibility of white wines: derivative spectroscopy and ciel*a*b* colour analysis

Pinking describes the appearance of a salmon-red blush in white bottled wines produced exclusively from white grape varieties. It is understood as an undesirable chromatic phenomenon by both wine consumers and the industry. Nowadays, there are no treatments to fully reverse pinking once it occurs. Partial reversion has been shown after exposure of pinked wine to ultraviolet (UV) light.

Application of cyclic voltammetry to the classification of enological tannins in relationship to oxygen consumption rate and botanical origin 

Enological tannins are a diversified group of winemaking products that vary in several aspects such as chemical composition, botanical origin, and production method. In consideration of their richness in phenolic compounds, one of their main application in vinification is related to their antioxidant capacity, in particular their ability to consume oxygen during red wine maturation.

“Gentle” sustainable extraction from whole berry by using resonance waves and slight over CO2 overpressure

The traditional methods of grape extraction of enochemical compounds use very often mechanical energy by pistons such as the pigeage or mechanical energy produced by must (delestage, pumping over). Recent trend by winemaker is trying to introduce in the fermentation tank, whole berry grape to avoid even minimal oxidation. Unfortunately, the use of the traditional mechanical techniques aforementioned, very often do not guarantee the optimal extraction with residual sugars in the marc. Use of resonance waves (airmixingtm) and a slight overpressure by CO2 (adcftm) permit to work on whole berry guaranteeing the perfect extraction.
