Effects of temperature on the aroma composition of hydrolysates from grape polyphenolic and aroma fractions (PAFs)

Abstract

AIM: The aim is to assess whether fast anoxic aging hydrolysis (75ºC x 24 h) can satisfactorily predict aroma developed from grape aroma precursors at milder conditions (50ºC x 5 weeks).

METHODS: Twelve different phenolic and aromatic fractions (PAFs) extracted, six from Grenache and the other six fromTempranillo, were reconstituted in model wine and aged in duplicate in two different anoxic conditions. Mild conditions were at 50º for 5 weeks in complete anoxia. Harsh conditions were at 75ºC for 24 hours in complete anoxia. Hydrolysates were further extracted and analysed by four different volatile analysis: esters and major alcohols were analysed by GC-FID, free norisoprenoids, terpenoids, phenols and lactones by GC-MS, Strecker’s aldehydes by GC-MS and varietal thiols were analysed by GC-NCI-MS.

RESULTS: A total of 32 compounds was quantified with RSD between 2 and 15%. Some compounds have concentrations very relevant from the sensory point of view, like TDN (1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene), β-damascenone, massoia lactone and 3-mercaptohexanol (3MH). Grenache samples presented higher concentrations than Tempranillo samples, of 4-vinylguaicol, 4-vinilphenol, linalool, β-citronellol and TDN.Most key aroma compounds can be satisfactorily predicted from the accelerated hydrolysis at 75ºC. Levels of eugenol, massoia lactone, 3MH, β-ionone and vainillin derivatives, released at 75ºC are significantly correlated with those found after 5 weeks at 50ºC, and the slopes do not significantly differ from 1. Levels of β-damascenone and α-terpineol in samples hydrolysed at 75ºC, were however, lightly higher than those found at 50ºC, but were strongly correlated. On the contrary, levels of Riesling acetal were a little higher at 50ºC, but were also strongly correlated.However, levels of TDN, linalool and geraniol in both hydrolytical conditions were poorly correlated. Data suggest that linalool and geraniol can be best represented by the accelerated hydrolysis, while TDN are best represented by the milder hydrolysis.

CONCLUSIONS

Harsh hydrolysis at 75ºC represents a good compromise which makes it possible to get a satisfactory representation of the grape aroma potential. Labile compounds, such as linalool and geraniol are in fact best measured at this temperature. However, long-aging aroma compounds, such as TDN, will require longer hydrolysis times and other relevant aroma compounds with different precursor molecules, such as 4-vinylguaiacol, are also poorly predicted at 75ºC.

Late frost protection in Champagne

Probably one of the most counterintuitive impacts of climate change on vine is the increased frequency of late frost. Champagne, due to its septentrional position is historically and regularly affected by this meteorological hazard. Champagne has therefore developed a strong experience in frost protection with first experiments dating from the end of 19th century. Frost protection can be divided in two parts: passive and active. Passive protection includes all the methods that do not seek to modify the vine’s environment or resistance at the time of frost. The most iconic passive protection in Champagne is the establishment of the individual reserve. This reserve allows to stock a certain quantity of clear wine during a surplus year to compensate a meteorological hazard like frost during the following years. Other common passive methods are the control of planting area (walls, bushes, topography), the choice of grape variety, late pruning, or the impact of grass cover and tillage. Active frost protection is also divided in two parts. Most of the existing techniques tend to modify vine’s environment. Most of the time they provide warmth (candles, heaters, windmills, heating cables…), or stabilise bud’s temperature above a lethal threshold (water sprinkling). The other way to actively fight is to enhance the resistance of buds to frost (elicitors). The Comité Champagne evaluates frost protection methods following three main axes: the efficiency, the profitability, and the environmental impact through a lifecycle assessment. This study will present the results on both passive and active protection following these three axes.

Comparison of the aroma profile in total and partial dealcoholisation of white and red wines by reverse osmosis

The increasing demand for low-alcohol and non-alcoholic wines has led to the development of advanced dealcoholisation techniques aimed at preserving wine quality while reducing ethanol content. Reverse osmosis is one of the most widely used membrane-based processes for the selective removal of ethanol [1].

1H NMR spectroscopy data to discriminate Petit verdot wines from three different soil types in the São Francisco valley, Brazil

Tropical wines have been produced in the São Francisco river Valley thirty years ago, in the Northeast of Brazil. The main grape cultivar used for red tropical wines is ‘Syrah’, but wines have presented fast evolution, if they were made in the first or second semester, due to the high values of pH in grapes and wines and high climate temperatures.

Illuminating vineyard management: Elevating operational efficiency through advanced sensing and data analytics

How sensor technologies combined with artificial intelligence increase the efficiency in grapevine breeding (research): current developments and future perspectives

Viticulture and grapevine breeding programs have to face and adapt to the rapidly changing growing conditions due to the ongoing climate change, the scarcity of resources and the demand for sustainability within the whole value chain of wine production. In times of highly effective and cost-efficient genotyping technologies routinely applied in plant research and breeding, the need for comparable high-speed and high-resolution phenotyping tools has increased substantially. The disciplines of grapevine research, breeding and precision viticulture picked up this demand – mostly independent from each other – by the development, validation and establishment of different sensor technologies in order to extend management strategies or to transform labor-intensive and expensive phenotyping.
