Does bioprotection by adding yeasts present antioxydant properties?

Abstract

AIM: The bioprotection by adding yeasts is an emerging sulfur dioxide alternative. Sulfur dioxide is a chemical adjuvant used for its antiseptic, antioxidasic and antioxidant properties. Faced with the societal demand (Pérès et al., 2018) and considering the proven human risks associated with the total doses of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) present in food requirements (García‐Gavín et al., 2012), the reduction of this chemical input is undeniable. Bioprotection allows the control of microbial communities by occupying the grape must niche (Simonin et al., 2018; Windholtz et al., 2021), but no studies have been conducted on its antioxidant properties. Indeed, in must, reaction cascades can take place, bringing into play different compounds that can lead to its undesired browning under the action of polyphenols oxydases. SO₂ neutralizes these enzymes and regenerates the quinones. In the present study, bioprotection have been considered for its action on oxidation and on the availability of dissolved oxygen (O₂).

METHODS: In order to evaluate the potential impact of bioprotection on dissolved O₂ content, an experiment was conducted using semillon must. Three treatments were applicated: SO₂ at 50 mg/L, without SO₂ and bioprotection composed of two yeast species (Torulaspora delbrueckii and Metschnikowia pulcherrima in the same proportion) at 50 mg/L. O₂ concentration was monitored during pre-fermentation phase, using a FireStingO2 compact oximeter (pyroscience, Aix-La-Chappelle, Allemagne). The glutathione, a natural antioxydant compound, was quantified in the musts and wines.

RESULTS: Based on dissolved O₂ kinetics, the use of bioprotection led to a rapid consumption of O₂ and limited browning comparing to the control, without SO₂. The addition of SO_2,by neutralizing the polyphenol oxydases (Ough and Crowell, 1987), also limited the O₂ consumption. Bioprotection treatment allowed obtaining a significant higher concentration of glutathione in the finished wines than the control without SO₂, thus allowing an interesting additional protection during bottle aging.

CONCLUSIONS:

For the first time, this work highlighted the limitation of the white must oxidation by using non-Saccharomyces yeasts as bioprotection in a context of without SO₂. By decreasing the availability of dissolved oxygen, bioprotection by adding yeast would slowing down the oxidation cascades. Furthermore, preservation of glutathione by bioprotection allows additional protection in wines.

Correlations between sensory characteristics and colloidal content in dry white wines

Must clarification is an important step occurring just after grape extraction in the elaboration of white wine, consisting in a solid-liquid separation. Traditionally, low must turbidity, around 50-150 NTU, is generally reached in white winemaking in order to prevent reductive aromas and facilitating alcoholic fermentation. Alternatively, a higher turbidity (300 NTU or above) can be sought for reasons such as a better expression of grapes identity (terroir), or for getting a must matrix that could supposedly lead to wines having greater ageing potential.

Spatial variability of grape berry maturation program at the molecular level

The application of sensors in viticulture is a fast and efficient method to monitor grapevine vegetative, yield and quality parameters and determine their spatial intra-vineyard variability. Molecular analysis at the gene expression level can further contribute to the understanding of the observed variability by elucidating how pathways responsible for different grape quality traits behave in zones diverging for one or the other parameter. The intra-vineyard variability of a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard was evaluated by a standard Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) mapping approach, employing UAV platform, accompanied by detailed ground-truthing (e.g. vegetative, yield, and berry ripening compositional parameters) that was applied in 14 spots in the vineyard. Berries from different spots were additionally investigated by microarray gene expression analysis, performed at five time points from fruit set to full ripening.

The antioxidant properties of wine lees extracts in model wine

While the ethanol and tartaric acid contained in wine lees are typically recovered by distilleries, the remaining solid fraction (yeast biomass) is usually disposed of, thus negatively affecting the overall sustainability of the wine industry.

The development of a simple electrochemical method based on molecularly imprinted polymers for the selective determination of caffeic acid in wine

Caffeic acid (CA) is an antioxidant of great importance in the food sector, such as wine, where it acts as a marker of wine ageing, as well as in the health sector due to its antioxidant properties and beneficial effects including the prevention of inflammation, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes.

Relationship between chemical parameters of tannins and in-mouth attributes of grape phenolic fractions

Establish relationships between taste and mouthfeel properties of grapes and tannin-related chemical parameters. Tempranillo Tinto and Garnacha Tinta grapes were harvested from distinct blocks in different dates; each sample collection date was separated by one week. Grapes were destemmed and macerated in 15% of ethanol for one week. The polyphenolic fraction (PF) of samples was submitted to solid phase extraction on C18 cartridges and recovered with ethanol. PFs were reconstituted in wine model and their taste and mouthfeel properties were characterised by rate-K-attributes methodology. In parallel, concentration (TC) and activity (TAc) of tannins as well as the concentration of tannins linked to anthocyanins (T-A) were determined using HPLC-UV–VIS.
