The aim of the study was to determine the differences in the microbiological, physical-chemical, aromatic and phenolic composition between two winemaking methods: carbonic maceration and the standard method of destemming and crushing. We analysed 84 commercial Rioja wines made from the Tempranillo grape variety during the 2017 vintage, 40 had been made by carbonic maceration and 44 by destemming and crushing. Despite the heterogeneity within the two groups of wines, it was possible to differentiate between them. Wines made by carbonic maceration presented higher aromatic quality due to their higher total content of esters and acetates, as well as a greater colour intensity due to a higher phenolic content and higher rates of ionization and polymerization. In addition, it was observed that the antioxidant activity, the content in coumaroyl derivatives of anthocyanins and the vitisins A and B were considerably greater in wines made by carbonic maceration.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding how microorganisms affect coffee fermentation is key to improving sensory quality and ensuring food security.
  • The study analyzed fungal community changes during fermentation under different temperatures and time intervals, finding significant shifts at 18 and 28 °C, with the highest diversity and variation at 38 °C.
  • The findings suggest that lower temperatures may create a more stable fermentation environment, while higher temperatures result in greater variability in the fungal community.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of various methods of processing, such as natural, washed, honey, anaerobic fermentation, and carbonic maceration, on the contents of heavy metals in green and roasted specialty coffees from various countries of origin (Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Peru). The heavy metals aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) were identified by a multi-element technique using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Mercury (Hg) content was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry.

The recovery of raw materials offers an opportunity for applying the principles of circular bioeconomy. The phenolic composition of three underused wine byproducts (skin, seed, and bunch stem) was analyzed through UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS to evaluate the intercultivar variability comparing red and white grape cultivars from La Rioja (Spain) and the influence of the winemaking, comparing conventional fermentation and carbonic maceration. We observed that the red skin, especially from Graciano, is rich in anthocyanins, whereas the white skin contains mainly phenolic acids, flavonols, and flavan-3-ols, with Maturana Blanca being the richest variety.

A new category of fruit style beer resulting from the addition of grape matrices is named Italian Grape Ale (IGA). In this paper, we report data on an experimental work to produce IGA beers, adding macerated (CO or N) red Gamay grape must or Aleatico grape pomace resulting from a grape dehydration process. Our hypothesis, that these wine processes can produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to characterize these IGA beers which was confirmed by chemical, sensory and aromatic results.
