Influence of different strains of lab on quality of catarratto wine produced in sicily

Abstract

AIM: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Oenococcus oeni species is worldwide used as starter for malolactic fermentation [1, 2]. For the first time, in the present study, the impact of malolactic fermentation on Sicilian white wines of the Catarratto cultivar was evaluated by using different commercial LAB strains. Particularly, L. plantarum (ML PrimeTM, Lallemand wine), O. oeni (Lalvin VP41®, O-Mega® and PN4®, Lallemand wine) were used as starter strains for malolactic fermentation.

METHODS: the Catarratto must, after clarification, were aliquoted in steel tanks (2.5 hL). Each tank (5 trials: M8-M12) was inoculated with the indigenous selected strain CS182 Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After 24 hours, ML PrimeTM (M8) , Lalvin VP41® (M9), O-Mega® (M10) and PN4® (M11) were inoculated singularly into grape must. For the control trial, were not added with malolactic starter (M12-MLc). During the alcoholic fermentation, the microbiological and chemical-physical parameters were evaluated. After six months from the date of bottling, the wines were subjected to volatile organic compound investigation and sensory analysis.

RESULTS: grape must showed values of malic acid of 1.58 g/l. Trial M8 inoculated with L. plantarum showed a significant reduction of malic acid reaching values of 1 g/L, three days after inoculum. Trial M9, M10 and M11, inoculated with O. oeni, showed a rapid consumption of malic acid after 15 days of AF and completed malolactic fermentation one week after AF. The VOCs present in highest concentration were 3-methyl-1-butanol in all trials, phenylethyl alcohol in trials M8, M9, and M12, and 2,3-butanediol in M11. The sensorial analysis conducted on the different experimental wines showed a tendency of panelists to prefer trials M8. In fact, wines with the addition of MLPrimeTM, obtained the highest scores for the attributes flavor and odour overall quality, intensity and complexity odours. No unpleasant odours and/or flavours were recorded. Acetic acid content was less than 0.3 g/l in all experimental trials.

CONCLUSIONS

The inoculation of the different commercial LAB strains allowed the malo-lactic fermentation of all wines. L. plantarum proved to be an effective alternative to O. oeni in order to start the malolactic fermentation and the wines were appreciated at sensorial level

Creativini: an augmented reality card game to promote the learning of the reasoning process of a technical management route for making wine

Nowadays, the entire viticultural and enological process is wisely thought out according to the style of wine to be produced and the local climatic conditions. Acquiring the approach of a technical management route specific for wine production remains a complex learning process for students. To enhance such learning, The Ecole d’Ingénieurs de PURPAN (PURPAN), an engineering school located in Toulouse southwest France, has recently developed Creativini, a collaborative card game in English made of 150 cards spread into 14 batches. Students in groups of 3 to 6 must design a technical production route, from plant material to bottling.

Volatile Organic Compound markers of Botrytis cinerea infection in artificially inoculated intact grape berries

The addition of partially dehydrated grapes to enrich must composition for producing complex dry/sweet wines represents a traditional practice in several regions of the world. However, the environmental conditions of dehydration chambers may facilitate the infection of Botrytis cinerea Pers. by promoting disease and provoking large grape losses. B. cinerea attack can induce alterations in the profile of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which could be detected by sensors specifically trained to detect infection/disease-related compounds. These sensors could facilitate the early detection of the infection, consequently allowing to adjust some dehydration parameters.

Characterization and biological effects of extracts from winery by-products

Pomace, stem, grapevine leaves, and vine shoots arise as so called winery by-products during the wine production process.

Phototropic and geotropic shoot orientation: effect on physiological, vegetative and reproductive parameters

[English version below]

On a étudié l’effet de l’orientation des rameaux sur les paramètres physiologiques, végétatifs et reproductif durant deux saisons de croissance (2002/2003 et 2003/2004) dans la région de Stellenbosch dans une vignoble du cépage Merlot sur 99R conduite en espalier et taillé à cordon coursonné. Les vignes étaient espacées 2.7 x 1.5 m.

Investigation of VvDXS function and its effects on muscat flavor levels

In the present study the connection between the positional candidate gene VvDXS and muscat flavor was evaluated by investigating the expression profiles in the berries from a Muscat-type cultivar and a neutral cultivar and its nucleotide diversity of full ORF on grapevine accessions.
