Elicitors application in two maturation stages of Vitis vinifera L. cv Monastrell: changes on the skin cell walls

Abstract

AIM: In a recent study, it was determined that the mid-ripening period is the most suitable for the application of methyl jasmonate (MeJ), benzothiadiazole BTH and MeJ+BTH on Monastrell grapes, to favor maximum accumulation of phenolic compounds at the time of harvest. However, the increase in the anthocyanin content of grapes was not reflected in all the wines (Paladines-Quezada et al., 2021). For this reason, the aim of this work was to evaluate whether the application of two pre-harvest elicitors, MeJ and BTH on Monastrell grapes during two maturation stages, affects the composition and structure of their skin cell walls.

METHODS: This study was conducted for two years (2016 and 2017) on Vitis vinifera L. cv Monastrell, located in Jumilla (southeast Spain). A foliar application was carried out with a water suspension of 2 elicitors: (MeJ) 10 mM; (BTH) 0.3 mM, and a mixture of both. The treatments were applied at different timings of ripening (at veraison and mid-ripening). For all treatments, a second application was performed 7 days after the first application. The composition of the berry skin cell wall was analyzed.

RESULTS: MeJ and MeJ+BTH treatments applied at veraison had the greatest influence on the composition of the skin cell walls. They decreased the concentration of hemicellulose and pectic derivatives, and increased the concentration of lignin, proteins and phenols. On the other hand, BTH applied at veraison and mid-ripening was the only treatment that increased the concentration of cellulose in the skin cell walls.

CONCLUSIONS:

MeJ and MeJ+BTH treatments increased the concentration of the main components involved in cell wall strengthening. This fact can contribute to resistance to fungal attacks, but it can make it difficult to extract polyphenols from the skin during the maceration process

Polyphenols in kombucha: Metabolomic analysis of biotransformations during fermentation

Kombucha is a non-alcoholic beverage made of sugared tea that is transformed by a symbiotic consortium of yeasts and bacteria. This beverage is increasingly produced at industrial scale, but its quality standards remain to be defined. Metabolomics analysis was carried out using FT-ICR-MS to understand the chemical transformations induced by the production phases and the type of tea on

New Insights into Wine Color Analysis: A Comparison of Analytical Methods and their Correlation with Sensory Perception

wo spectrophotometric methods are recommended by the Organisation Internationale de la vigne et du vin (OIV). The first is the method after Glories, were the absorbances at 420 nm, 520 nm and 620 nm are measured (OIV 2006a).

Les outils pour favoriser le renouvellement des générations en viticulture

French lawmakers have chosen the family-type winegrowing business as the benchmark for drafting the legal framework for winegrowing businesses and winegrowers. In france (source: msa), in 2022, there were 1,444 new winegrowers, an increase of 3% compared with 2021, representing 10% of new farm managers. The retention rate for winegrowers is 75% (up 13% on 2021), compared with 77% for all agricultural sectors (stable).

Handbook of the charter of the universal holistic metaethics sustainability 4.1c” for certification and warranty bio-métaétique 4.1c

Defined the new paradigm, the applied philosophy, the methodology, the algorithm of the “Charter for Universal Holistic MetaEthic Sustainability 4.1C17.18”, research has continued to define and write, an
handbook that should be:”Complete Universal Holistic MetaEthics 4.1C of descriptors” of the “Charter for Sustainability Universal Holistic MetaEthic 4.1C17.18” with basic and applicative indexing. In these activities and research we have involved over 3500 Italian and non-Italian people from the research world to simple but educated, enlightened and enlightening citizens and we have analyzed over 180000
entries concerning the descriptors above, which represent the basic “descriptors”.

Sensory definition of green aroma concept in red French wines. Evidence for the contribution of novel volatile markers

The aromatic complexity of a wine results from the perception of the association of volatile molecules and each aroma can be categorized into different families. The “green” aromas family in red wines has retained our attention by its close link with the fruity perception. In that study, the “green” olfactory concept of red wines was considered through a strategy combining both sensory analysis and hyphenated chromatographic techniques including HPLC and MDGC (Multidimensional Gas Chromatography). The aromatic space of this concept was specified by lexical generation through a free association task on 22 selected wines by a panel of wine experts. Then, 70 French red wines were scored on the basis of the intensity of their “green” and “fruity” attributes.
