This book was released on 2016 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mouthfeel is one of the most important quality parameters of Chardonnay wines. Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is an important process in wine production, and influential to wine mouthfeel, with the reduction in acidity being particularly important for cool climate wines that generally have higher acidity such as Chardonnay. MLF is typically induced by the addition of Oenococcus oeni after the completion of the alcoholic fermentation (AF) but can occur concurrent with AF by inoculating O. oeni simultaneously with the fermentative yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We investigated the effect of MLF inoculation timing as well as the temperature of MLF and the presence of the non-Saccharomyces yeast Torulaspora delbrueckii on Chardonnay wine mouthfeel. Chardonnay wines were produced in 2014 with AF and MLF inoculated for simultaneous or sequential fermentations, and temperatures 15 and 21°C, with or without the addition of T. delbrueckii. Mouthfeel attributes of the wines produced were assessed by a winemaker panel, using Napping® and Ultra-flash profiling. Significant differences in mouthfeel perception were found based on timing and inoculation conditions, as well as between temperatures. Treatment type and temperature also effected the chemical composition of finished wines. Additionally, there are many interactions that occur between taste and aroma that may impact mouthfeel perception. This led us to investigate whether the aroma fraction of Chardonnay wine should be considered when investigating relationships between chemical composition and sensory perception of mouthfeel. Chardonnay wines were determined to have mouthfeel differences by altering the fermentation temperature of the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation as well as the timing of MLF and the presence of a non-Saccharomyces yeast during AF. Napping® and Ultra-flash-profiling were conducted using a panel of white winemakers. Each procedure was conducted twice: once with retro-nasal aroma and once without retronasal aroma. Napping® results showed that retronasal aroma impacted mouthfeel perception. Ultra-flash profiling displayed similar descriptive terms used with and without retronasal aroma, but terms were not consistently used for the same wine treatments with and without retronasal aroma. It is unclear if these differences are due to interactions or due to associated learning. These results suggest that for some mouthfeel terms the volatile fraction is playing a role and to establish relationships with chemical composition and mouthfeel perception it is important to consider both the volatile and nonvolatile wine fractions. We then investigated the impact of pre-fermentation juice treatments on mouthfeel characteristics of Chardonnay wine. Chardonnay grapes were harvested from Oregon State University’s vineyard in September, 2015. After destemming and pressing the juice was subjected to various treatments. These treatments included high, medium, and low turbidity level, as well as hyper-oxidation, two-hour skin contact, and two-hour skin contact + hyper-oxidation. All treatments went through alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. Total phenolics and hydroxycinnamic acids differed between skin contact and hyper-oxidation treatments. Wines that underwent hyper-oxidation contained the lowest total phenolics. Hyper-oxidation following skin contact reduced total phenolics but retained more than the hyper-oxidation treatment. Sensory analysis using citation by frequency procedure showed that all treatments modified the mouthfeel of finished wines. However, chemical analysis did not fully elucidate the cause of these differences. Pre-fermentation juice treatments can be utilized to develop stylistic differences in finished Chardonnay wine. The combined findings of this research demonstrate the usefulness of various enological practices to influence the sensory qualities of a Chardonnay wine, as well as emphasizing the importance of retro-nasal aroma’s influence on the mouthfeel experience of Chardonnay wine.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an attempt to determine the impact of various oxidative conditions on fermentations inoculated with strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing the MET10-932 allele, a pilot experiment was carried out. A total of twenty-five small-scale fermentations were carried out in a commercial setting using Alexander Valley Chardonnay juice in the 2012 vintage. A total of five different yeast strains and five different juice and wine treatments were performed. The yeast strains included three MET10-932, Phyterra strains: P1Y0, P2Y3, and P7Y9, as well as two strains of the MET10 wildtype allele; CY3079 and EC1118. The MET10 allele is known to be responsible in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains for low basal levels of sulfite reductase activity. Thus, the MET10-932 yeast strains do not produce hydrogen sulfide in primary fermentation. Experimentation with these yeast strains in various juice conditions is beneficial to understand optimization of fermentative behavior. The oxidative conditions of the juice were altered at various points in the fermentation to determine optimal production conditions as well as to determine fermentative behavior of the MET10-932 and MET10 wildtype yeast strains given various production approaches and techniques. The oxidative treatments ranged from aeration prior to fermentation, sparging with nitrogen pre-fermentation, and aerations at specific time points in the fermentation. In this pilot experiment, no noticeable impacts of aeration treatments were observed on the fermentation behavior. Additionally, the MET10-932 yeast strains illustrated a significantly higher bound SO2 content upon completion of fermentation in the large-scale fermentations. Potential causes for the higher yields of bound SO2 in the MET10-932 yeast strains include use of specific vineyard treatments, nutrients utilized during the fermentation and other fermentative conditions. In order to investigate the source of the higher bound SO2 in the MET10-932 yeast strains, small-scale fermentations were carried out in MMM medium using a treatment of Fermaid K and no nutrient addition. Results indicate that nutrient addition in the form of Fermaid K did not impact the total sulfite production as compared to the fermentation that did not receive nutrient addition. However, the MET10-932 strains did express a higher bound sulfite production as compared to the MET10 wildtype strains. It can be concluded that although various aeration impacts did not greatly impact the fermentation behavior there are still certainly benefits in understanding the optimization of these strains for production purposes. Ruling out Fermaid K nutrient addition as the source of high bound SO2 helps in learning what might be responsible. Further, it can be determined that the high bound SO2 is not solely linked to varietal characteristic of Chardonnay as the high levels were also observed in MMM.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fining is a common practice used in the wine industry which assists with clarification and/or provides corrective treatment for the aroma, taste or aftertaste of a juice or wine. During this thesis project the fining agents activated carbon (AC), gelatin (G), gelatin with silicon dioxide (GSi), polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP), and a mixed agent consisting of bentonite, PVPP, and isinglass (M) where investigated for their ability to influence the concentration of several aroma compounds in Marlborough Sauvignon blanc. Sensory trials were also conducted to investigate if any chemical changes impact the sensory aspect of the wines. Although both free run and press fraction juice fining was considered, a stronger emphasis was placed on the production of press fraction wines. The focus of this thesis was conceived in direct collaboration with a winery which noted anecdotally that press fraction juices require severe fining regimes thought to be due to the extended skin contact and oxygen exposure they undergo. Therefore, the project set out to explore if pre-fermentation juice fining could modulate aroma compounds present in Marlborough Sauvignon blanc press fraction wines. The first fining trial conducted was to survey the potential for the chosen commercially available agents (AC, G, PVPP, and M) to induce a change in the aroma chemistry of the experimental wines. Both free run and press fraction juices of two vineyards (Awatere valley and Wairau valley) were fined and the resulting wines analysed. Results showed that several aroma compounds may be influenced by prefermentation fining. For instance, there was a significant (p 0.05) reduction in linalool and hexan-1-ol across each vineyard and juice combination when AC fining was employed, compared to their respective controls. Moreover, it was also demonstrated that juice origin (vineyard and fraction) was of a high priority when determining the aroma compound content of the experimental wines. Sensory analysis showed that the panel indicated lower counts of the aroma attribute Green vegetables for the Awatere valley wines which had been fined using AC, compared to the respective control wines. Following on from this experiment, another trial using excessive amounts of juice fining was conceived to provide information regarding part batch fining, a strategy used by some winemakers. Wairau valley press fraction juice was fined using AC, G, and PVPP at rates of 5, 6, and 8 g/L, respectively. Again, a significant (p

This book was released on 2007 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is essential for deacidification of high acid grape must and the production of well-balanced wines. The bacterial MLF is unreliable and stuck MLFs often lead to spoilage of wines and the production of biogenic amines. A genetically stable industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was constructed by integrating a linear cassette containing the Schizosaccharomyces pombe malate permease gene (mae1) and the Oenococcus oeni malolactic gene (mleA) under control of the S. cerevisiae PGK1 promoter and terminator sequences into the URA3 locus of an industrial wine yeast strain. The malolactic yeast strain, ML01, completes the MLF during the alcoholic fermentation in a variety of musts including a high acid Chardonnay must containing 9.2 g/L of malate. ML01 cannot appreciably decarboxylate L-malic acid to L-lactic acid when present at levels below 1% of the total inoculum. ML01 contains no antibiotic resistance marker genes or vector DNA sequences. Global gene expression patterns and analysis of the proteome showed that no metabolic pathway was affected by the introduction of the malolactic cassette. The presence of the malolactic cassette in the genome does not affect growth, ethanol production, fermentation kinetics or metabolism of ML01. Wines produced by the ML01 yeast have lower volatile acidity and improved color properties compared to wines produced with the parental yeast and a bacterial MLF. GC/MS analysis of volatile compounds revealed that wine produced by ML01 did not contain any compounds that were not detected in wine produced with the parental strain S92 or with S92 and malolactic bacteria. Moreover, ML01 reduces the processing time after alcoholic fermentation and produces wine that is judged highest in overall quality by trained tasters. Analyses of the phenotype, DNA, RNA, and proteins demonstrate that the recombinant yeast ML01 is substantially equivalent to the parental strain S92. ML01 has been approved for use in Canada and has 'Generally Regarded As Safe' status with the US FDA. It is the first metabolically engineered yeast to be commercialised by the wine industry and is currently available in Canada, the USA and Moldova.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purposeful induction of malolactic fermentation (MLF) in wines such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is an established commercial wine making practice in Oregon. This induction is not always successful, especially with white wines, such as Chardonnay. A study was initiated to examine the compatibility of yeasts commonly used in Oregon winemaking with various strains of malolactic bacteria. In preliminary and pilot plant scale experiments, the yeast strain found to be most conducive to malolactic fermentation by lactic acid bacteria was Montrachet (Red Star). The malolactic bacterial strains that were best able to complete malolactic fermentation in various wines, fermented by different yeast strains, were the two Oregon commercial strains, ER1A and Ey2d, and the Pinot Noir juice isolate, DAPN85A. Sensory analysis of aroma by difference from control test was done on Chardonnay wine fermented by 4 different yeast strains and 3 different malolactic bacterial strains. In all cases, there was an overall significant difference in malolactic fermented wine aroma when compared to control wines. Organic acid analyses by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and analyses of volatile compounds by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were done on selected Chardonnay wines. Propionic acid was found to diminish in malolactic fermented wines while acetic acid content increased. Isobutanol and isobutyraldehyde increased significantly in MLF wines, compared to the controls. Chemical analyses of MLF and control wines suggested two possible chemical reactions resulting from the MLF. The first was the reduction of isobutyraldehyde to isobutanol, and the second was the hydrolysis of isobutyl acetate to isobutyraldehyde and acetate. On all GC chromatograms of wines, where MLF had occurred, there was an unidentified peak close to the retention time of isoamyl acetate. This peak was not evident in wines where MLF had not occurred. Eight compounds were tentatively identified by GC-MS in malolactic fermented wines which were not found in the control wines. These were 4-methyl-3-pentanoic acid, methyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, hexyl acetate, 1,12-tridecadiene, hexadecanoic acid, and a compound which was tentatively identified as farnesol, or 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid. The latter four compounds had identity fits of less than 900 from the mass spectral analysis. Whether any of these eight compounds match the unknown "ML peak" found in the GC chromatograms is unknown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is an important step in the production of wines and is commonly performed in red or cool climate wines to reduce acidity. In this study the impact of MLF on red wine color and the ability of Oenococcus oeni to degrade compounds important to the development of stable color were studied. Pinot noir and Merlot wines were produced, where simultaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentations were induced in half of the wines. At dryness, all wines were pressed prior to sterile-filtration through 0.45 [micrometer] membranes. Wines that had not undergone malolactic fermentation (MLF ( - )) were then either (a) inoculated with one of three strains of O. oeni (MLF (+)) or (b) pH adjusted to the same pH as MLF (+) wines. All wines were sterile-filtered, bottled, and stored at 13°C for analyses. MLF (+) wines had lower concentrations of acetaldehyde, pyruvic acid, and caftaric acid than MLF ( - ) wines. MLF (+) wines had significantly lower color and polymeric pigments than MLF ( - ) wines while containing significantly higher monomeric anthocyanins. These differences were consistent throughout 12 months of storage demonstrating that MLF can affect red wine color independent of pH change and that O. oeni can impact phenolic and non-phenolic compounds involved in red wine color development. Wine produced in a subsequent year was used to investigate possible reasons for the color loss caused by MLF as well as practical strategies to minimize these losses. One such strategy was to delay MLF, a practice that winemakers believe results in greater red wine color. Wines were held at 13°C for 0, 14, 28, 100, and 200 days before inoculation with O. oeni VFO to induce MLF at 25°C. Delaying MLF did not impact loss of color @ 520nm as all wines still experienced a color loss. However, as MLF was delayed for increasing time periods the polymeric pigment content and monomeric anthocyanin concentration of MLF (+) wines became more similar to those of the control. After 200 days delayed MLF, there was no statistically significant difference between the MLF (+) and control wine for polymeric pigment and only a minor difference in concentration of monomeric anthocyanins. The reduced loss of polymeric pigment in delayed MLF wines may have been due to acetaldehyde being in the wine for a longer period of time as demonstrated in experiments investigating the impact of O. oeni metabolism of acetaldehyde and pyruvic acid metabolism. Wines that had undergone MLF were supplemented with acetaldehyde and pyruvic acid to the levels measured in MLF ( - ) wines. Wines with acetaldehyde or acetaldehyde and pyruvic acid additions showed higher color and polymeric pigment than MLF (+) wine with no additions while addition of only pyruvic acid addition showed no improvement in color or polymeric pigment in comparison to standard MLF (+). However, acetaldehyde additions did not completely prevent a loss of color at 520nm after MLF. Whether this color loss was due to fining by O. oeni was investigated through exposure of wine to live or inactivated O. oeni for differing time periods. Wines that did not undergo MLF but were exposed to live or inactivated cells showed no difference in color, polymeric pigment, and monomeric anthocyanin compared to the control suggesting that loss of color during MLF was not due to fining by O. oeni cells.
