  • The Influence of Viticultural Treatments on the Accumulation of Flavonoid Compounds in Grapes and Their Contribution to Wine Quality
    The influence of viticultural treatments on the accumulation of flavonoid compounds in grapes and their contribution to wine quality Nicole Cordon B. Biotechnology (Hons), The Flinders University of South Australia A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Adelaide School of Agriculture, Food and Wine Discipline of Wine and Horticulture in collaboration with CSIRO Plant Industry, Horticulture Unit Urrbrae, Adelaide May 2008 Chapter 1–General introduction CHAPTER 1 General introduction 1.1 Introduction There is an ancient association between man, the grapevine and the wine produced from its fruit where wine has both religious and cultural significance and there is now evidence that moderate wine consumption can also have significant health benefits (Lairon and Amiot 1999; Plumb et al. 1998). One group of plant secondary metabolites known as flavonoids contribute to the visual character, taste and health benefits of wine, particularly the classes; anthocyanins, flavonols and tannins. While the initial focus grape flavonoid research was on the development of anthocyanins and their contribution to red wine colour, the accumulation of other flavonoids such as tannins and flavonols has been investigated recently due to their influence on grape and wine quality (Boulton 2001; Brossaud et al. 2001; Downey et al. 2003a; Downey et al. 2003b; Harbertson et al. 2002; McDonald et al. 1998; Price et al. 1995a; Spayd et al. 2002). 1.2 Wine production 1.2.1 Winemaking Winemaking involves the extraction of juice from ripe grapes and fermentation of that juice with a cultured yeast. While extraction and fermentation processes are extremely variable, wine quality is largely determined by the composition of the grapes in respect of colour, acid, sugar and phenolic content as well as the management of these parameters during vinification and maturation (Boulton 2001; Boulton et al.
