AI Article Synopsis

  • The aroma components in sparkling wines are influenced by various factors such as grape variety, yeast type, and winemaking methods.
  • This study focused on four commercial yeasts and their effect on the volatile makeup of sparkling wines made from Muscat Ottonel grapes.
  • Results indicated that the type of yeast used significantly affects the volatile compounds and sensory characteristics of the wine, while only slight changes in physical-chemical parameters were noted.

Article Abstract

The occurrence of aroma constituents in sparkling wines, with direct impact on their organoleptic characteristics, is affected by several factors, for example the base-wine particularities, grapes cultivar conditions, inoculated yeasts, the aging stage, and wine-making practices. This study evaluated the influence of different four commercial yeasts (IOC FIZZ™, IOC DIVINE™, LEVULIA CRISTAL™, and IOC 18-2007™) on the volatile composition of experimental sparkling wines. For this, five sparkling wines variants from the Muscat Ottonel grape variety were obtained. The base-wine was obtained through reverse osmosis and had a predetermined alcoholic concentration (10.5% vol.). In order to fulfill the proposed purpose, the experimental sparkling wines were characterized by the physical-chemical parameters (according to International Organization of Vine and Wine methods of analysis), volatile fraction (using gas-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry technique), and sensory descriptors. Data showed a key impact on the concentration of the volatile constituents ( < 0.05), depending on the type of inoculated yeast for the second fermentation. Regarding the sensory analysis, important differences can be observed due to the type of inoculated yeast. Only a minor influence on the physical-chemical parameters was registered.

Some oligopeptides can impart kokumi flavor to foods and beverages, a topic still not addressed in wine. A targeted ultra-high performance liquid-chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) metabolomics method capable of quantifying both amino acids and oligopeptides in wines was therefore developed and validated, confirming the presence of 50 oligopeptides in wine, most of which had been previously unexplored. In silico screening of the affinity of these oligopeptides to interact with CaSR, the protein necessary to activate kokumi sensations, highlighted 8 dipeptides and 3 tripeptides as putative kokumi compounds.

Hydric stress is a leading cause of atypical aging (ATA) in wine, characterized by unpleasant olfactory notes. The main sensorial and chemical marker of ATA is 2-aminoacetophenone (AAP). Early detection of ATA before the second fermentation in sparkling wines (SWs) is crucial for producing high-quality products.

Article Synopsis
  • Most non-conventional yeasts like Torulaspora delbrueckii (Td) are less understood than the well-studied Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc), and research shows Td strains are primarily diploid in rich media but become haploid in stationary phase.
  • When placed in nutrient-poor environments, these haploid Td cells can become larger and transition to diploid or polyploid states, a process triggered by stress during fermentation.
  • This ability gives Td yeasts a survival advantage in winemaking, leading to increased fermentation efficiency when using Td strains with heightened ploidy.

Bottle conditioning of beer is an additional fermentation step where yeast and fermentable extract are added to the beer for carbonation. During this process, yeast must overcome environmental stresses to ensure sufficient fermentation in the bottle. Additionally, the yeast must be able to survive for a prolonged time, as a decline in viability will lead to alterations in the product.

The aim of this article is to better understand why experts give different scores to the same wines in identical tasting environments. This research focuses on the personal characteristics of experts (or judges), such as their gender, industry credentials, and occupation within the wine industry, and examines how judges respond to their peers' characteristics. Using a dataset of 5,395 wines judged in the 2022 International Wine and Spirits Competition, we analyse 18,224 scores from different judges.
