The use of core-shell high-performance liquid chromatography column technology to improve biogenic amine quantification in wine
2015
BACKGROUND HPLC column technology has been improved, providing better resolution of closely eluting compounds, better analyte sensitivity, and shorter analysis times. The core-shell technology columns offer a faster analysis through the use of shorter columns without compromising resolution. The aim of this work was to improve the methods for determination of biogenic amines (BAs) in wine using the new HPLC PFP core-shell column technology. RESULTS Two different elution programs were designed to quantify BAs with the core-shell PFP column. Program I flow rate was 2 mL min−1. The total elution time was 10 min. In elution program II, the flow rate was 0.8 mL min−1 and the total elution time w…
The influence of two different pH levels on the antioxidant properties of flavonols, flavan-3-ols, phenolic acids and aldehyde compounds analysed in …
2011
Abstract The aim of this study is evaluate either the antioxidant or pro-oxidant behaviour of some typical polyphenolic compounds of red wine, to investigate the influence of two different pH levels on the antioxidant properties and to clarify their activity–structure relationship. The antioxidant activity of compounds in hydrophilic solutions at pH 3.5 and pH 7.4 were measured by a competition kinetic test, based on the crocin bleaching. The position and the number of substitution groups influence the magnitude of the antioxidant activity of the polyphenolic compounds, but their antioxidant properties are also strongly influenced by the pH conditions. Increasing the pH, a considerable incr…
Biogenic amine production by lactic acid bacteria, acetic bacteria and yeast isolated from wine
2007
Abstract Biogenic amines are undesirable in all foods and beverages because if consumed at too high concentration, they may induce food-borne intoxications. The biogenic amine production by 155 strains of lactic acid bacteria, 40 strains of acetic bacteria and 36 strains of yeast isolated from wine were analysed in wine, grape must and synthetic media by HPLC. We did not observe biogenic amine production by acetic bacteria and yeast; however, we found production of histamine, tyramine, phenylethylamine and putrescine by LAB. A correlation of 100% was observed between biogenic amine production in synthetic medium and wine and between activity and presence of gene. With the results expose in …
Identification and Quantification of Phenolic Compounds in White Wines From the Apold Vineyard
2014
Abstract Wines contain a wide range of aromatic compounds, each having its share in the characterization of the end product. This paper aims at highlighting the phenolic compounds that are present in three types of wine from the Apold Vineyard, compounds that have been determined by modern chromatographic methods. Anthocyanins, flavans, flavones and flavonoids, phenolic acids and microphenolic compounds have been determined in three wines: Pinot gris, Neuburger and Furmint. The results have led to the characterization of these wines and their classification according to the parameters acknowledged by the international authorities.
Research report: Interactions between toxic fatty acids for yeasts and colloids, cellulose and yeast ghost using the equilibrium dialysis method in a…
1997
Abstract The capacity of different materials (yeast walls, colloids and cellulose) to bind octanoic acid and decanoic acid was investigated in a model wine. The interactions between these toxic fatty acids and the soluble or insoluble material was shown using the equilibrium dialysis method. Yeast walls adsorb decanoic acid and to a lesser extent octanoic acid which confirms previous results. In comparison, colloids from both grape or yeast weakly bind decanoic acid and do not significantly bind octanoic acid. No interactions between cellulose and fatty acid were observed. According to the yeast wall composition, lipids seem to play a key role for binding. With regards to our results, the e…
Effect of carboxymethyl cellulose on tartrate salt, protein and colour stability of red wine
2014
Background and Aims Recent studies have confirmed a long-term effect of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for tartrate salt stabilisation in white wine. It has been argued that CMC is not only less effective in red wine but also interacts with proteins and polyphenols generating turbidity and change in colour. In order to explain these effects, we studied in detail the impact of CMC on haze formation and colour stability of red wine. Methods and Results The influence of CMC concentration was tested with ten samples of red wine produced from several grape cultivars. The haze-forming material was analysed by sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide electrophoresis and the protein composition by high…
Purification method for the isolation of monophosphate nucleotides from Champagne wine and their identification by mass spectrometry
2001
Monophosphate nucleotides are difficult to identify in Champagne wine because they are present in small concentrations in a complex mixture. A method for the isolation, separation and identification of reference compounds, which achieved on average 79% recovery (except for cytidine derivatives), was developed and applied to wine. Some monophosphate nucleotides were then isolated from a Champagne wine aged on lees for 8 years, by ultrafiltration followed by a semi-preparative HPLC step using a strong anion-exchange column. The fraction obtained was subjected to HPLC in a reversed-phase column to remove the salt previously introduced, before identification of compounds by HPLC coupled to a ma…
Effect of leaf removal and ripening stage on the content of quercetin glycosides in Sangiovese grapes
2021
Quercetin haze has been observed over the last few years in some aged Sangiovese wines. This problem could be due to an excess of the quercetin in the wine. Leaf removal increases the exposition of clusters to sunlight, which may enhance flavonol synthesis in the grapes. In this study, we evaluated the dynamics related to extractable flavonols in grapes grown in three usually defoliated Vitis vinifera (L.) cv. Sangiovese vineyards, whose wines showed quercetin precipitates. The particular structure of the vineyards in which the leaf removal experiments were carried out allowed the influence of vineyard, biotype and rootstock on grape flavonol contents at mid-maturation and technological mat…
Hydrolysis and sorption by Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains of Chardonnay grape must glycosides during fermentation
2005
Abstract Different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were tested for their ability to hydrolyse glycosyl–glucose (G–G) compounds present in Chardonnay must during alcoholic fermentation. The determination of glycosyl–glucose during the course of the alcoholic fermentation of Chardonnay grape must revealed that S. cerevisiae is able to hydrolyse G–G during alcoholic fermentation in wine conditions. The extent of hydrolysis vary from 17 to 57% of the initial glycoside concentration. In order to confirm that decrease in G–G concentration during alcoholic fermentation is due to hydrolytic action and not to sorption phenomenon, in the first experiment, an analysis of the osidic part of Chardonnay…
Pyroglutamic Acid: A Novel Compound in Wines
2008
Wine contains a complex mixture of nearly 1,000 compounds, which include sugars, acids, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters, amino acids, amines, phenol carbonic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanidins and cathechins. Many of these compounds have an influence on the aroma and bouquet of wine. Identification of wine-related compounds is by far not complete. Recently, pyroglutamic acid has been detected as a so far overlooked novel compound in wine samples, which is described below.
