Impact of Natural Phytosanitary Product Residuals on Yeast Fermentation Performance and Wine Composition.

Foods

October 2024

Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental, and Forestry Sciences and Technologies (DAGRI), University of Florence, Piazzale delle Cascine 18, 50144 Firenze, Italy.

Although phytosanitary treatments are necessary to protect grapes from parasitic diseases, consumers are increasingly concerned about the use of synthetic phytosanitary products and their possible residues in wine. Pre-harvest phytosanitary treatments are often inevitable, and consequently downtime is required to avoid possible residues on the grapes. Instead, natural phytosanitary products, such as essential oil (EO)-based products, can be applied close to the harvest without specific restrictions, with results that are not only technically convenient but also more attractive for the consumers.

Globalization and free market dynamics have significantly impacted state economies, particularly in the wine industry. These forces have introduced greater diversity in wine products but have also heightened the risk of food fraud, especially in high-value commodities like wine. Due to its market value and the premium placed on quality, wine is frequently subject to adulteration.

This study is an investigation of the impact of volatile phenols (VPs) released from burning wood during wildfires on grape composition and the resulting wines. Baseline levels of VPs in grapes and sensory differences between smoke-impacted wines and non-smoke-impacted wines were determined. The differences were related to different levels of smoke taint marker compounds in different wine matrices, using modified descriptive analysis (DA), multivariate statistics, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-QqQ-MS) of the free and total VPs, and individual bound glycosides, respectively.

College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering, Beijing Key Laboratory of Viticulture and Enology, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China.

Methanol is widely existed in fermented fruit wines (FFWs), and the concentration is excessive at times due to inappropriate fermentation conditions. Methanol is neurotoxic, and its metabolites of formaldehyde and formic acid can cause organic lesions and central respiratory system disorders. FFWs with unspecified methanol limits are often produced with reference to grape wine standards (250/400 mg/L).

Biological Systems and Engineering Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California, USA.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major process by which genes are transferred between microbes in the rhizosphere. However, examining HGT remains challenging due to the complexity of mimicking conditions within the rhizosphere. Fabricated ecosystems (EcoFABs) have been used to investigate several complex processes in plant-associated environments.

National Engineering Research Center of Wheat and Corn Further Processing, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou, 450001 China.

Unlabelled: In view of the special aptitudes of the yeast population in both rice wine production and dough fermentation, in this study, the characteristics of dough fermented with rice wine prepared from mixed SF7 and SC1 (JFC) were evaluated and compared with those of dough fermented directly with the two yeast co-cultures (FC). Dough inoculated with JFC showed higher acidity, reducing sugar content and leavening activity than dough fermented with FC. The water distribution pattern and pasting properties of the JFC-fermented dough changed dramatically after fermentation, and the dough microstructure and extensibility were improved.

This study evaluated the impact of Artemisia sphaerocephala Krasch glucomannan with different degrees of acetyl group substitution (DS) on the prebiotic properties of grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSP). UV spectra, CIELab, and dynamic light scattering analyses indicated DS-influenced variable interactions between GSP and glucomannan. In vitro fermentation demonstrated that glucomannan enhanced the solubility of some phenolic compounds, and decreased the pH value of fermentation liquids.

It is essential for the survival of grapevines in cool climate viticultural regions where vines properly acclimate in late fall and early winter and develop freezing tolerance. Climate change-associated abnormities in temperature during the dormant season, including oscillations between prolonged warmth in late fall and extreme cold in midwinter, impact cold acclimation and threaten the sustainability of the grape and wine industry. We conducted two experiments in controlled environment to investigate the impacts of different temperature regimes on cold acclimation ability in endodormant grapevine buds through a combination of freezing tolerance-based physiological and RNA-seq-based transcriptomic monitoring.

  • - This study analyzed how pregnancy complications and birth outcomes affect telomere length in children at age 17, using data from the Raine cohort study in Western Australia, which followed 2900 children over the years.
  • - The research found no overall differences in telomere length based on individual maternal or birth outcomes, but females exposed to adverse conditions during pregnancy exhibited shorter telomeres compared to those born without complications.
  • - Interestingly, while females from pre-eclamptic pregnancies specifically showed significantly shorter telomeres, no such effects were observed in males; this highlights the need for further studies to investigate the factors influencing telomere length in genders separately.

Impact of fig maceration under various conditions on physicochemical and sensory attributes of wine vinegar: A comprehensive characterization study.

J Food Sci

December 2024

Departamento de Tecnología, Poscosecha e Industria Alimentaria, Centro IFAPA "Cabra", Instituto de Investigación y Formación Agraria y Pesquera, Ctra, Córdoba, España.

In this work, wine vinegars macerated with figs under different conditions have been characterized for the first time. Samples were analyzed by solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, sensory and physicochemical analysis. The results revealed that fig maceration of wine vinegars influenced the physicochemical, sensory, and volatile profiles of the final product, which were mainly affected by the fig amount (10, 20 or 30%), the fig type (fresh or dry) and the base wine vinegar (young or aged) used, and to a lesser extent the way the fig was added (crushed or chopped).
