Dadmun Cornell 0058O 11029.Pdf (1.396Mb) EFFECT OF SUN EXPOSURE ON THE EVOLUTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ANTHOCYANINS IN INTERSPECIFIC RED HYBRID WINEGRAPES A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Catherine Hope Dadmun August 2020 © 2020 Catherine Hope Dadmun ABSTRACT Interspecific hybrid winegrapes are economically important in areas where environmental pressures inhibit traditional Vitis vinifera production. To clarify the effect of vine microclimate on red hybrid wine color, skin extract anthocyanins were characterized via HPLC for shaded and unshaded fruit from three economically significant cool-climate hybrid cultivars (Vitis spp): Corot noir, Maréchal Foch, and Marquette. Light exposure and berry and air temperature were monitored in Corot noir to represent generalized vine microclimate. Across all cultivars, the samples that underwent the leaf-pulling treatment (exposed samples) did not have significantly different concentrations of total anthocyanins compared to the control (shaded samples). However, certain individual anthocyanins within each cultivar demonstrated different concentrations with the exposure treatment. This work is the first step in defining the evolution of anthocyanin profiles during interspecific hybrid grape ripening to allow cool- climate wine grape growers to optimize viticultural production methods for high-quality red hybrid wines. Keywords: anthocyanin, interspecific hybrid, ripening, sunlight exposure, viticultural practice, leaf removal BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Catherine Dadmun joined Anna Katharine Mansfield’s group in the Department of Food Science and Technology at Cornell University in August 2018. She studies grape and wine chemistry, primarily focusing on hybrid Vitis spp. and the chemical color composition of grapes. Beyond academics, Catherine was heavily involved in the Food Science Graduate Student Organization (FSGSO), the Graduate and Professional Women’s Network (GPWomeN), and tutoring students at Beverly J. Martin Elementary School and later virtually through Weill Cornell Tutors. She served as a member of the Social Committee for FSGSO and the Communications Chair for GPWomeN. Prior to her graduate studies, Catherine received her B.S. in Chemistry and B.A. in French and Francophone Studies from the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina. She participated in a Chemistry Undergraduate Research Program funded by the National Science Foundation at Virginia Tech over the summer of 2017, where her work in Susan Duncan’s Lab introduced her to Food Science. Upon completion of her Master’s in Science, Catherine will be continuing to study the chemistry of grapes and wine in Anna Katharine Mansfield’s lab at Cornell University for her Ph.D. and hopes to become even further involved in science communication and Extension. iii To my parents, Mark and Jayne Dadmun, who taught me to think critically, question everything, and find passion in everything I do. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to acknowledge Prejean Winery, Stever Hill Vineyards, and the Finger Lakes Teaching and Demonstration Vineyard for their generous donation of grape samples and The Cornell Agritech Venture Grant for funding this research.

Polashock1 USDA—ARS Fruit Lab, 125A Lake Oswego Road, Chatsworth, NJ 08019 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Vaccinium macrocarpon, Vaccinium oxycoccus, antioxidant, bioavailability, flavonoid ABSTRACT. The flavonoids of american cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Alt.) are documented to be beneficial for hu- man health. Among their benefits is a high antioxidant potential, with anthocyanin glycosides being the main contribu- tors. Flavonoid glucose conjugates are reported to be more bioavailable than those with other sugar conjugates. The anthocyanin glycosides of V. macrocarpon fruit are mainly galactosides and arabinosides of the aglycones, cyanidin and peonidin, with less than 8% glucosides. In contrast, the fruit anthocyanins of another cranberry species, V. oxycoccus L. were found to be largely glucosides of cyanidin and peonidin. Interspecific hybrids between these two species were intermediate to the parental species in the proportion of fruit anthocyanin glucosides. About half the progeny (1:1 segregation) in a backcross population (to V. macrocarpon) maintained the relatively high anthocyanin glucoside ratio. In this study, we demonstrate the genetic manipulation of anthocyanin glycosylation in cranberry using interspecific hybridization, resulting in dramatically increased glucose-conjugated anthocyanins. Flavonoids are considered to be secondary metabolites, which The cultivated american cranberry (V. macrocarpon) is recog- have been associated with roles in ultraviolet protection, plant nized for its brilliant red fruit due to an abundance of anthocyanins sexual reproduction, pollinator attraction, symbiotic plant—microbe in the fruit epidermal tissues.

The condensation of flavanols with anthocyanins may occur either with the flavylium ion or with the hemiacetal formation in order to produce oligomers and polymers. The kinetics of the reaction are enhanced by the presence of metabolic acetaldehyde, promoting the formation of pyranoanthocyanin-type dimers or flavanol-ethyl-anthocyanin structures. The experimental design carried out using white must corrected with the addition of malvidin-3-O-glucoside and flavanols, suggests that non-Saccharomyces yeasts are able to provide increased levels of colour intensity and larger polymeric pigment ratios and polymerization indexes.

  • Anthocyanin Pigments in Redbud (Cercis Spp) Flowers
    Veazie et al. J Hortic Sci Res 2017, 1(1):13-18 DOI: 10.36959/745/393 | Volume 1 | Issue 1 Journal of Horticultural Science and Research Research Article Open Access Anthocyanin Pigments in Redbud (Cercis spp) Flowers Penelope Perkins-Veazie*, Guoying Ma and Dennis Werner Department of Horticultural Science, Plants for Human Health Institute, North Carolina State University, USA Abstract Redbud (Cercis spp.) is used as a spring flowering ornamental tree and is found wild in much of North America. Typically flowers are light purple although there are selected cultigens that are white, rose, or red-purple. Flowers from cultigens common to the eastern U.S. and from wild Eastern redbud (C. canadensis) were collected and tested for color and anthocyanin pigment composition. The anthocyanins cyanidin 3-glucoside, petunidin 3-glucoside, peonidin 3-glucoside, and malvidin 3-glucoside were most aboundant in purple, rose, and red-purple redbud flowers and total anthocyanin content was 2263 to 8730 mg.kg DW-1. Small amounts of delphinidin, cyanidin, and petunidin 3, diglucosides were also present. Most of the typical purple-flowered redbuds contained cyanidin 3-glucoside as the dominant pigment, while the red-purple flowered ‘Appalachian Red’ and ‘Crosswicks Red’ contained malvidin 3,5-diglucoside as the dominant anthocyanin. An unknown anthocyanin was present in all redbud flowers, and was higher in the red-purple flowered phenotypes. These results show that the color of redbud flowers is from anthocyanins, predominantly cyanidin 3-glucoside and malvidin 3,5-diglucoside, with malvidin 3,5-diglucoside as the primary pigment in red-purple flowers and cyanidin 3-glucoside dominant in purple flowers.

Polyphenols are the principal compounds associated with health bene�c effects of wine consumption and in general are characterized by antioxidant activities. Mass spectrometry is shown to play a very important role in the research of polyphenols in grape and wine and for the quality control of products. e so ionization of LC/MS makes these techniques suitable to study the structures of polyphenols and anthocyanins in grape extracts and to characterize polyphenolic derivatives formed in wines and correlated to the sensorial characteristics of the product. e coupling of the several MS techniques presented here is shown to be highly effective in structural characterization of the large number of low and high molecular weight polyphenols in grape and wine and also can be highly effective in the study of grape metabolomics. 1.

  • The Colour of Red Wine
    THE COLOUR OF RED WINE MARIA JOSEPHINE BIRSE THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE School of Agriculture, Food & Wine Faculty of Sciences A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY APRIL 2007 i Abstract The behaviour of pigments in red wine, namely anthocyanins and anthocyanin- derived pigments, was investigated at natural wine pH, at low pH and after addition of SO 2, namely SO 2 bleaching. An examination of current literature demonstrated absences in wine pigment research. Firstly, few researchers have published the colour properties of a particular wine pigment at different pH values and post-SO 2 bleaching. This was demonstrated using the CIELab colours of two individual anthocyanin-derived wine pigments (4-vinylcatechol and 4-vinylsyringol adducts to malvidin 3-glucoside), and an anthocyanin, malvidin 3-glucoside. The colours of the anthocyanin-derived pigments and their resistance to pH change and SO 2 bleaching were compared to malvidin 3-glucoside which was affected by media. Generally, in the literature, wine pigments are characterized as individual components. But many pigments contribute to wine colour. So, two novel methods were created and demonstrated using red wines: Shiraz wines from four regions in Australia, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines made using two different strains, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) or Saccharomyces bayanus (SB). The first method can be used to determine the CIELab colour of chromatographically separated wine pigments and allows their colours to be re-created, regardless of their identity. Thus objective measurement of pigment colour at its natural concentration in wine is now possible. An additional method, the “post-column adjustment method” to pH-adjust and SO 2 bleach HPLC-separated wine pigments was created.

Marucci Center for Blueberry and Cranberry Research and Extension, Rutgers University, Chatsworth, NJ 08019 David Cunningham3 and Robin Roderick4 Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., One Ocean Spray Drive, Lakeville-Middleboro, MA 02349 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Vaccinium macrocarpon, fruit, methoxylation, glycosylation, cyanidin, peonidin ABSTRACT. A diversity of anthocyanins exists among angiosperm species. Studies indicate that various anthocyanins differ in antioxidant potential, their bioavailability, and stability during processing. The fruit of the American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait., is recognized as having six anthocyanins, composed largely of 3-O-galactosides and 3-O-arabinosides, and to lesser amount (≈6%), 3-O-glucosides of the aglycones cyanidin and peonidin. This study analyzed proportions of these six anthocyanins from >250 accessions of a germplasm collection over harvest dates. Fruit samples from 78 selected accessions, based on the fi rst year analysis, were also analyzed a second year. Principal component analysis identifi ed general negative relationships between the proportions of cyanidin versus peonidin, arabinosides versus glucosides, and galactosides versus arabinosides and glucosides. These relationships were consistent across the 2 years. Most variation in germplasm anthocyanin profi les refl ected variation of cyanidin versus peonidin proportions, with cyanidin to peonidin ratios ranging from 3.6:1 to 0.5:1. Variation for glycosylation profi les was also evident, with galactoside proportions ranging from 64% to 75%, arabinoside proportions ranging from 20% to 33%, and glucoside proportions ranging from 3% to 9%.

  • The Chemical Reactivity of Anthocyanins and Its Consequences in Food Science and Nutrition
    molecules Review The Chemical Reactivity of Anthocyanins and Its Consequences in Food Science and Nutrition Olivier Dangles * ID and Julie-Anne Fenger University of Avignon, INRA, UMR408, 84000 Avignon, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +33-490-144-446 Academic Editors: M. Monica Giusti and Gregory T. Sigurdson Received: 6 July 2018; Accepted: 31 July 2018; Published: 7 August 2018 Abstract: Owing to their specific pyrylium nucleus (C-ring), anthocyanins express a much richer chemical reactivity than the other flavonoid classes. For instance, anthocyanins are weak diacids, hard and soft electrophiles, nucleophiles, prone to developing π-stacking interactions, and bind hard metal ions. They also display the usual chemical properties of polyphenols, such as electron donation and affinity for proteins. In this review, these properties are revisited through a variety of examples and discussed in relation to their consequences in food and in nutrition with an emphasis on the transformations occurring upon storage or thermal treatment and on the catabolism of anthocyanins in humans, which is of critical importance for interpreting their effects on health. Keywords: anthocyanin; flavylium; chemistry; interactions 1. Introduction Anthocyanins are usually represented by their flavylium cation, which is actually the sole chemical species in fairly acidic aqueous solution (pH < 2). Under the pH conditions prevailing in plants, food and in the digestive tract (from pH = 2 to pH = 8), anthocyanins change to a mixture of colored and colorless forms in equilibrium through acid–base, water addition–elimination, and isomerization reactions [1,2]. Each chemical species displays specific characteristics (charge, electronic distribution, planarity, and shape) modulating its reactivity and interactions with plant or food components, such as the other phenolic compounds.
