  • The Impact of Grape Ripeness Level on Berry and Wine Composition and Potential Wine Style of Vitis Vinifera L
    The impact of grape ripeness level on berry and wine composition and potential wine style of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinotage by Etienne Louis Adriaan Terblanche Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Agricultural Sciences) at Stellenbosch University Department of Viticulture and Oenology, Faculty of AgriSciences Supervisor: Dr. Jakobus Johannes Hunter April 2019 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 03-12-2018 Copyright © 2019 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary The understanding of grapevine reaction to its environment and resulting grape composition, wine composition and sensory profile forms the foundation from which wine producers make product-based/market-related, downstream cultivation decisions. Yet, surprisingly limited information is available to producers with regards to the expected changes in wine style linked to a range of harvest dates, including early or late/delayed harvest. Therefore the main objective of this descriptive study was to create a reference base to better assist practical harvest decision making. The native South African Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinotage was studied due to its early and rapid sugar accumulation, analogous to the predicted grapevine response due to climate warming.

  • The Potential of Grape Pomace Varieties As a Dietary Source of Pectic Substances
    foods Review The Potential of Grape Pomace Varieties as a Dietary Source of Pectic Substances Mariana Spinei and Mircea Oroian * Department of Food Technologies, Food Production and Environment Safety, Faculty of Food Engineering, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, 720229 Suceava, Romania; mariana.spinei@fia.usv.ro * Correspondence: m.oroian@fia.usv.ro Abstract: Grape pomace is one of the most abundant solid by-products generated during winemaking. A lot of products, such as ethanol, tartrates, citric acid, grape seed oil, hydrocolloids, bioactive compounds and dietary fiber are recovered from grape pomace. Grape pomace represents a major interest in the field of fiber extraction, especially pectin, as an alternative source to conventional ones, such as apple pomace and citrus peels, from which pectin is obtained by acid extraction and precipitation using alcohols. Understanding the structural and functional components of grape pomace will significantly aid in developing efficient extraction of pectin from unconventional sources. In recent years, natural biodegradable polymers, like pectin has invoked a big interest due to versatile properties and diverse applications in food industry and other fields. Thus, pectin extraction from grape pomace could afford a new reason for the decrease of environmental pollution and waste generation. This paper briefly describes the structure and composition of grape pomace of different varieties for the utilization of grape pomace as a source of pectin in food industry. Keywords: grape pomace; grape skin; grape seeds; grape inflorescence architectures; pectin; extraction Citation: Spinei, M.; Oroian, M. The 1. Introduction Potential of Grape Pomace Varieties The main by-products of the wine industry are grape pomace, grape seeds, grape as a Dietary Source of Pectic bunches, yeast and tartrates sediments [1].

  • Chemical Composition of Dietary Fiber and Polyphenols of Wine Grape Pomace Skins and Development of Wine Grape (Cv
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Qian Deng for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science and Technology presented on February 11, 2011. Title: Chemical Composition of Dietary Fiber and Polyphenols of Wine Grape Pomace Skins and Development of Wine Grape (cv. Merlot) Pomace Extract Based Films. Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________________________ Yanyun Zhao The objectives of this project were to investigate the chemical composition of five varieties of wine grape pomace (WGP) skins obtained in the Pacific Northwest of the United States with the emphasis on dietary fiber (DF) and polyphenolic compounds, and further to evaluate the feasibility of developing WGP extract based edible films in terms of their physicochemical, nutritional and antimicrobial properties. Research studied two varieties of white WGP (WWGP) skins (vinifera L. cv. Morio Muscat and cv. Muller Thurgau) and three varieties of red WGP (RWGP) skins (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon, cv. Pinot Noir and cv. Merlot). DF was measured by gravimetric-enzymatic method with sugar profiling by HPLC-ELSD. Soluble polyphenols were extracted by 70% acetone/0.1% HCl/29.9% deionized water and measured spectrophotometrically. The major composition of insoluble DF (IDF) were Klason lignin (7.9-36.1% DM), neutral sugars (4.9-14.6% DM), and uronic acid (3.6-8.5% DM), which weighed more than 95.1% of total DF in all five WGP varieties. RWGP was significantly higher in DF (51.1-56.3% DM) than those of WWGP (17.3-28.0% DM), but lower in soluble sugar (1.3-1.7% DM in RWGP vs.
