Optimization of a tool to determine the oxygen avidity of a wine through the kinetics of consumption by its phenolic and aromatic fractions (PAFs)

Abstract

AIM: Wine oxidation phenomena during the different processes of winemaking, aging and storage are closely related to the presence of oxygen and to the wine’s capacity for consumption. Grape composition will be directly related to wine composition, defining the O2 consumption rate, with particular importance of phenolic compounds and metal ions content. The prediction of the O2 consumption capacity of a wine could be a great tool to help in decision making during the winemaking process. The objetive of this work was the optimization of the reactivation of phenolic and aromatic fractions of grapes (PAFs) for the study of their avidity to consume oxygen. Beside, the effect of alcohol, pH, acetaldehyde and the metals Fe, Cu and Mn has been studied.

METHODS: Different PAFs reactivated under 16 different conditions defined by different levels of pH, alcohol content, acetaldehyde, iron, Cu and Mn were subjected to an oxygen consumption kinetic after saturation with air (1,2).

RESULTS: The parameters defining the kinetics of consumption allowed us to differentiate the different types of grapes. The greatest discriminatory capacity were the parameters related to the amount of oxygen consumed and the time invested in consuming this amount of oxygen, especially in the first stages or the time required to consume the 10% available oxygen, the area under the curve or the time to reach half-area. Thus, the lower iron content facilitated oxygen consumption, requiring less time, and similar results were found with respect to the presence of Mn.

CONCLUSIONS

The best activation conditions of phenolic and aromatic fractions have been established for the evaluation of different PAFs by developing their oxygen consumption kinetics.

Relationship between soil and grapevine variety in the wineyard of Jura: example for the “Trousseau” variety from the “Terroir” of Montigny-Lès-Arsures (France)

Seven plots located in the commune of Montigny-lès-Arsures (Jura, 39), planted with grapevine varieties Trousseau and Savagnin, were chosen for a study of soil pits and a distribution of major and trace chemical elements in soils and wines. It was shown that the mineral matrix of the soil reflects the geological substratum and the sub-surface alteration process, while the organic soil matrix depends on agro-viticultural practices.

Influence of toasting oak wood on ellagitannin structures

Ellagitannins (ETs) have been reported to be the main phenolic compounds found in oak wood. These compounds, belonging to the hydrolysable tannin class of polyphenols, are esters of hexahydroxydiphenic acid (HHDP) and a polyol, usually glucose or quinic acid. They own their name to their capacity to be hydrolysed and liberate ellagic acid and they have an impact on astringency and bitterness sensation, which is strongly dependant on their structure. The toasting phase is particularly crucial in barrels fabrication and influences wood composition.

Effects of water deﬁcit on secondary metabolites in grapes and wines

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2021, Simone D. Castellarin (University of British Columbia, Wine Research Center, Wine Research Centre, Vancouver, Canada) speaks about the effects of water deﬁcit on secondary metabolites in grapes and wines. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

Analyse du rôle du terroir dans la définition d’une appellation d’origine

In France, the definition of appellations of origins is entrusted to the Institut National des Appellations d’Origine. (‘NAO). With the increase in price of appellations of origin vineyards and considering the interests at stake, Institut National des Appellations d’Origine and the Institut National de Recherche Agronomique (INRA) established a work group in 1993 in order to study the “terroir-wine” relationship as precisely as possible, taking into account the knowledge acquired by researchers of the INRA and the experience in the field of the agents of the INAO.

Optimization and validation of a fully automated HS-SPME method for determination of VCCs and its application in wines submitted to accelerated ageing

Wine aroma is a complex gaseous mixture composed of various compounds; some of these molecules derive directly from the grapes while most of them are released and synthetized during fermentation or are due to ageing reactions
