Application of uv-led in wine as an alternative to sulphur dioxide
Sulfites (SO2) are commonly used in the wine industry to preserve products during storage for antiseptic and antioxidant purposes (Oliveira et al., 2011).
Revealing the origins of old bordeaux wines using terpene quantification
The overall quality of fine wines is linked to the development of “bouquet” during wine bottle ageing (1). Bordeaux red wine ageing bouquet is defined by the association of several odours
Optimization of a tool to determine the oxygen avidity of a wine through the kinetics of consumption by its phenolic and aromatic fractions (PAFs)
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.
Use of new tools for red wine aging: active and passive microoxygenation with oak wood. Effect on volatile compounds and sensorial impact
The aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of different chemical parameters and sensory impact on red wine during maturation in barrels or with new technologies
Long-term sensorial and compositional effects of copper fining on the wine containing ‘reductive’ and ‘tropical’ volatile sulfur compounds
The aim of this study was to investigate long-term sensorial and compositional effects of copper addition to the white wine naturally high in varietal thiol levels, with added volatile sulfur compounds
Impact of the pre-fermentative addition of enological adjuvants on the development of UTA in wines
During alcoholic fermentation and wine aging, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) can degrade into 2-aminoacetophenone (AAP). The presence of reasonable amount of AAP in wines is regarded as the main cause of untypical ageing
Tuning the pH during the fermentation has a strong effect on the wine protein composition and the stability of the resulting white wines
Previous results have shown the impact of the pH on the stability of white wine proteins. In a context of global warming that implies increases in ethanol content and pH
First identification of a glycosylated fraction involved in mushroom-off-flavor in grapes: influence of B. cinerea, powdery mildew and C. subabruptus
An organoleptic defect, called fresh mushrooms off-flavor, appeared in wines and spirits since the 2000’s. Numerous researches demonstrated that octen-3-one, octan-3-ol and octen-3-ol
The future of DMS precursors during alcoholic fermentation: impact of yeast assimilable nitrogen levels on the contents of DMSp in young wines
Some red wines develop a “bouquet” during ageing. This complex aroma is linked to quality by wine tasters1. The presence of dimethylsulfide (DMS) in those wines is implicated
Influence of the different cork stoppers and sulfur dose in champagne quality
As is well known, Champagne is a product of the highest quality recognized in the international market. Champagne is a type of sparkling wine made in the Champagne region
Effect of simulated shipping conditions on colour and SO2 evolution in soave wines
The shelf life of food is defined as the period in which the product will remain safe, is certain to retain desired sensory, chemical, physical, and microbiological characteristics
Wine yeast species show strong inter- and intra-specific variability in their sensitivity to uv-c radiation
While the trend in winemaking is toward reducing the inputs and especially sulphites, the development of While the trend in winemaking is toward reducing the inputs
Oxygen consumption and changes in chemical composition of young wines
The study of the capacity to consume oxygen of the wines is an aspect of great interest since it allows to analyse their useful life.
Effect of quercus alba oak barrels from different forest on the volatile composition of Tempranillo wines
The species and origin used for red wine oak aging determines the physiological composition of the wood and thus the finished wines. In America, oak is grown primarily
Effects of temperature on the aroma composition of hydrolysates from grape polyphenolic and aroma fractions (PAFs)
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).
Ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains to modulate the aroma of albariño wines
The objective of the present work is to evaluate the impact of three S. cerevisiae strains on the comprehensive aroma profile of Albariño wine along its shelf life.
Volatile and phenolic profiles of wines closed with different stoppers and stored for 30 months
The aim of this study was to evaluate the volatile and phenolic profiles of three red and one rosé wines stored in bottles for 30 months. Four wines were provided by a winery located in South Tyrol
Inhibition of reductive characters in wine by cu-organic acids: predicting the duration of protection
Cu organic acid complexes efficiently bind hydrogen sulfide in wine and therefore prevent its accumulation and subsequent reductive off-flavour [1]. This fraction of Cu can also bind methanethiol
Impact of addition of fumaric acid and glutathion at the end of alcoholic fermentation on Cabernet-Sauvignon wine
Viticulture and oenology face two major challenges today, climate change and the reduction in the use of inputs. Climate change induces low acidity and microbiologically less stable wines
Impact of acidification by fumaric acid at vatting on Cabernet-Sauvignon wine during winemaking
Acidity of grape berries is lowered due to climate changes (1), resulting in musts and wines with higher pHs. These higher pHs induce microbiological instability
