High precision mass measurements for wine metabolomics

2014

An overview of the critical steps for the non-targeted Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-Q-ToF-MS) analysis of wine chemistry is given, ranging from the study design, data preprocessing and statistical analyses, to markers identification. UPLC-Q-ToF-MS data was enhanced by the alignment of exact mass data from FTICR-MS, and marker peaks were identified using UPLC-Q-ToF-MS(2). In combination with multivariate statistical tools and the annotation of peaks with metabolites from relevant databases, this analytical process provides a fine description of the chemical complexity of wines, as exemplified in the case of red (P…

Logos indicating environmental sustainability in wine production: An exploratory study on how do Burgundy wine consumers perceive them

2014

Corrigendum to “Logos indicating environmental sustainability in wine production: An exploratory study on how do Burgundy wine consumers perceive them”Food Research International, Volume 66, December 2014, Page 515; Logos on environmental sustainability could consist of an effective strategy to provide consumers with accurate, understandable and trustworthy information to encourage them to buy environmentally sustainable wines. However, the large number of different logos indicating environmental sustainability available in the market raises the question of whether their associated messages are successfully conveyed to consumers. In this context, the aim of the present exploratory study was…

Sustainable architecture for wine cellars

2020

Environmental sustainability in the wine sector is one of the major factors of commercial interest for consumers and producing companies. The link between wine production, territory and architectural typology of wine cellars is always more important for the food and wine sector. This work explores the connections between architecture and energy efficiency with regards to minimizing environmental impacts in wine production and the sustainable use of resources in production processes. The role of economic and cultural promotion of wine cellars with bioclimatic architecture towards the tourism industry is highlighted.

Evaluating consumers' willingness to buy environmentally friendly wines: A store experiment

2014

poster + communication courte confidentiels; The French program Ecophyto 2018 aims at achieving a 50% reduction in pesticide use by 2018. The vine-growing sector being the second largest user of pesticides in France, there is a strong need for French vine-growers to engage in more environmentally sustainable practices. However, they will do so if they are sure that consumers are ready to buy environmentally friendly wines. Thus, the two main objectives of this study were to identify consumers' willingness to buy environmentally friendly wines and to estimate the impact of an information campaign. 220 wine consumers participated in the study. Each consumer came twice, at a 3-week interval, i…

Combining Olfactory and Gustatory Clues in the Judgment of Aging Potential of Red Wine by Wine Professionals

2010

International audience; The study was aimed at determining the relative importance of olfactory and gustatory information for the vin de garde concept, which refers to wine that is intended for aging. First, the study investigated how olfactory information contributed to the assessment of the aging potential of young wine. Burgundy wine professionals categorized 26 red wines (vintage 2005) according to their aging potential in two experimental conditions: orthonasal evaluation and overall evaluation. Second, the aromatic notes associated with wines perceived with an aging potential were examined. A trained descriptive panel described the odor of the 26 red wines to determine whether the win…

Contribution to the molecular study of the oxidative stability of white wines of Burgundy

2019

In order to understand and control the aging of wines, particularly white wines, it is necessary to deepen our knowledge about the physico-chemical mechanisms of oxidation related to oxygenation processes. For this, it is important to have tools to quantify the antioxidant capacity of white wines, and to identify the compoiunds involved, in order to anticipate the aging ability of a wine.In this study, analyzes of the antioxidant capacity by DPPH and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) were carried out on a large number of wines during aging and from several vintages, in parallel with metabolomic analyzes, mainly carried out by Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TO…

REPRESENTATION S DES VINS ROUGES DE BOURGOGNE CHEZ LES ACTEURS DE LA FILIERE : UN EFFET AMONT vs AVAL ?

2014

International audience; Les différents segments de professionnels de la filière vitivinicole partagent-t-ils les mêmes représentations vis-à-visdes vins rouges de Bourgogne? Tel le est la question à laquelle nous avons souhaité répondre. Afin d’évaluer dans un premier temps le degré de convergence des réponses sensorielles, visuelles et olfacto-gustatives, deux familles d’acteurs de la filière bourguignonne ont été étudiées: celle des professionnels amont(viticulteurs, œnologues,techniciens) et celle des professionnels aval (restaurateurs,sommeliers,cavistes, commerciaux grande distribution). L’approche sensorielle convoquée ici reposait sur la mesure intrinsèque d’exemplarité. [1]Pour ce f…

Engineering a Saccharomyces cerevisiae Wine Yeast That Exhibits Reduced Ethanol Production during Fermentation under Controlled Microoxygenation Cond…

2006

ABSTRACTWe recently showed that expressing an H2O-NADH oxidase inSaccharomyces cerevisiaedrastically reduces the intracellular NADH concentration and substantially alters the distribution of metabolic fluxes in the cell. Although the engineered strain produces a reduced amount of ethanol, a high level of acetaldehyde accumulates early in the process (1 g/liter), impairing growth and fermentation performance. To overcome these undesirable effects, we carried out a comprehensive analysis of the impact of oxygen on the metabolic network of the same NADH oxidase-expressing strain. While reducing the oxygen transfer rate led to a gradual recovery of the growth and fermentation performance, its i…
