Winemaking processes discrimination by using qNMR metabolomics

Abstract

AIM: Metabolomics in food science has been increasingly used over the last twenty years. Among the tools used for wine, qNMR has emerged as a powerful tool to discern wines based on environmental factors such as geographical origin, grape variety and vintage (Gougeon et al., 2019a). Since human factors are less studied while they also contribute a lot to the wine making, we wondered if this technique could also dissociate physical or chemical processes used in oenology. The goal of this work is to allow a better understanding of the interactions between the oenological processes and wine by finding metabolites that are responsible of winemaking processes’s differentiations through 1H‑NMR metabolomics targeted and untargeted (fingerprinting) approaches combined with advanced chemiometrics.

METHODS: Wine analyses were realized by qNMR approaches. Targeted (based on nearly fifty wine constituents) and untargeted analyses were carried out on wines having undergone several physical and chemical processes. Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and similarity score (S-score) (Gougeon et al., 2019b) were performed out for the analytical discrimination of winemaking processes.

RESULTS: qNMR analyses associated with chemometrics allow discriminating not only the physical processed such as the filtration but also chemical processes like the maceration temperature, enzyme treatment and fining agent effects. Furthermore, the impacted metabolites were highlighted providing valuable data on the winemaking processes investigated.

CONCLUSIONS:

qNMR metabolomics offers a fast and reliable method to study the effects of winemaking practices on wine quality.

Assessing the benefits of irrigation access: the case of Southern France vineyards

Agriculture worldwide is threatened by climate change. In particular, declining water resource availability combined with increasing water demand is a key challenge in many rainfed areas, where irrigation appears to be a straightforward adaptation option. In this context, assessing the impacts of irrigation adoption on farm yields and incomes is a necessary step to reflect on the impact of both ex-post and ex-ante policies.

Effect of intra‐vineyard ripeness variation on the efficiency of commercial enzymes on berry cell wall deconstruction under winemaking conditions

Intra-vineyard variation grape berry ripening occurs within bunches, between bunches on the same vine and between vines. Although it is assumed that such variation also occurs at the grape berry cell wall level, no study to data has investigated in any depth. Here we have used a intra-vineyard panel design to investigate pooled bunches from six vines (per panel) in the context of a winemaking scenario. The dissected vineyard was harvested by separate panels, where each panel was then subjected to a standard winemaking procedure with or without the addition of three different enzyme preparations for maceration.

Automated red microvinification (1kg) adapted to the needs of varietal innovation

The creation of disease-resistant varieties adapted to climate change is a key challenge for the future of the wine industry. At present, the selection of these new varieties is essentially based on screening for genetic markers of resistance and agronomic criteria, due to the small number of vines available per genotype. Integrating screening for oenological criteria into the early stages of selection would speed up this process.

Evaluation des impacts environnementaux des itinéraires techniques viticoles de production de vins AOP en Val de Loire: démarche d’adaptation de la méthode de l’analyse du cycle de vie (ACV)

La société et l’état imposent plus que jamais à la viticulture française de prendre en compte ses impacts environnementaux tout en produisant des vins de qualité. Après avoir présenté ces impacts, les auteurs exposent la méthode de l’Analyse du Cycle de Vie. Ils proposent une démarche pour sa mise au point pour évaluer les impacts environnementaux en viticulture AOP en Val de Loire dans le cadre de l’évaluation de la compatibilité des objectifs qualitatifs et environnementaux de la production de raisins de cuve.

Impacts of fumaric acid addition at the bottling on Cabernet Sauvignon wine quality. Comparison with tartaric acid addition.

Climate change and reduction of inputs are two major challenges for viticulture and oenology. With increasing temperature, wines become less acid and microbiologically less stable (1).
