Protein profiles, obtained by high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) on white wines previously dialyzed, combined with shikimic acid concentration and multivariate analysis, were used for the determination of grape variety composition of a still white wine. Six varieties were studied through monovarietal wines elaborated in the laboratory: Chardonnay (24 samples), Chenin (24), Petit Manseng (7), Sauvignon (37), Semillon (24), and Ugni Blanc (9). Homemade mixtures were elaborated from authentic monovarietal wines according to a Plackett-Burman sampling plan. After protein peak area normalization, a matrix was elaborated containing protein results of wines (mixtures and monovarietal). Partial least-squares processing was applied to this matrix allowing the elaboration of a model that provided a varietal quantification precision of around 20% for most of the grape varieties studied. The model was applied to commercial samples from various geographical origins, providing encouraging results for control purposes.

This research aims to identify aroma compounds, their combinations, and statistical relationships to classify and characterize wines produced in small, defined areas known as "terroirs", which share edaphoclimatic characteristics grape varieties, viticultural practices, harvest timing, and winemaking processes. The goal is to deepen the understanding of the relationship between the terroir and wine typicity. This study analyzed the contents based on enological parameters, the major and minor volatile compounds of the young wines produced in three wineries across two vintages, using the Pedro Ximenez white grape variety cultivated in different terroirs within the same quality zone.

Oryzanol has a variety of physiological activities and is widely used in food and medicine. However, its utilization form and bioavailability are limited by poor solubility and photothermal stability. In this paper, an inclusion complex (IC) was prepared by modifying β-cyclodextrin as a molecular carrier to encapsulate Oryzanol.

is considered one of the main fungi responsible for black and sour rot in grapes, as well as the production of the carcinogenic mycotoxin ochratoxin A. The global regulatory methyltransferase protein controls the production of various secondary metabolites in species, as well as influences sexual and asexual reproduction and morphology. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of the regulatory gene in physiology, virulence, and ochratoxin A (OTA) production by deleting this gene from the genome of a wild-type strain.

To investigate the impact of genetic factors on wine aroma, wines made from 22 clones of five grape varieties ( L.) were used to analyze the volatile compounds by headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography mass spectrometer (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS). Results showed that 52 and 49 aroma compounds were identified from 22 clones of wines by two technologies, respectively.

To diversify wine production in Xinjiang and address the issue of wine homogenization, it is crucial to leverage the unique climatic advantages of each grape-producing area to foster a high-quality wine industry. Using meteorological data from 80 national standard meteorological stations in Xinjiang, spanning 1961 to 2019, this study established a climatic zoning index system tailored to distinct grape varieties for wines, including dry red, dry white, ice wine, sparkling wine, and natural sweet wines. The system is formulated based on key climatic factors such as the frost-free period, ≥ 10 °C active accumulated temperature (AAT10), mean temperature of the coldest month, annual extreme minimum temperature, and dryness.
