RESUMO

Ultrastructural changes of lees of three series of sparkling wines produced using the traditional method during long-term aging (4 years) were assessed by high-pressure freezing in combination with transmission electron microscopy. The stratified structure of the cell wall disappeared throughout aging. After 18 months, the microfibrous material of the cell wall appeared more diffuse and the amorphous midzone of the inner wall layer was progressively degraded. From 30 months onward, the cell wall consisted of a tangled structure of fibers. In spite of these changes, the cell wall of yeasts remained unbroken at 48 months of wine aging. Cell membrane breakage was observed for the first time in lees of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. An increase in the thickness of the periplasmic space owing to plasmolysis and of the number of cells with less cytoplasmic content was observed during aging. Morphological evidence of microautophagy was detected for the first time in S. cerevisiae in enological conditions.

RESUMO

The volatile profile of sparkling wine is influenced by the retention and release of volatile compounds by lees during the aging process. Here we attempted to identify the volatiles that are most retained by lees in aging conditions and to study how their sorption varies during aging. We estimated the lees sorption capacity for several representative volatile compounds in sparkling wine samples at a range of time points during aging by assessing the volatiles sorbed on the lees surface and those present in the corresponding wines. The sorption of volatiles was proportional to their hydrophobicity, and their retention by the lees surface changed during aging. The sorption of less hydrophobic compounds decreased after the first 2 months of aging, while that of the most hydrophobic volatiles increased until 18 months, and decreased dramatically thereafter. These results indicate that the length of aging on lees determines the type and the amount of wine volatiles removed with lees in the disgorging step. While most polar aromas seem to be released from the lees surface at the earliest stages of aging, highly hydrophobic compounds and esters in general are progressively retained and subsequently desorbed into wine. Changes in the physicochemical properties of the lees cell surface were monitored during aging, but these could explain only the decrease in the sorption of less hydrophobic compounds.

RESUMO

Given the importance of the interactions between wine and lees cell surface during sparkling wine aging, and in view of recent results proving the antioxidant potential of yeast cell wall biomolecules, the antioxidant capacity of lees cell surface was investigated to establish its possible role in the antioxidative effect of lees. The surface antioxidant activity of lees from wines with different aging periods was determined on the whole cell by two widely used methods (DPPH and FRAP assays), obtaining maximum values of 24.5micromol Trolox/g cells (fresh weight) by the DPPH assay, and 21.3micromol Trolox/g cells (fresh weight) by the FRAP assay. Lees surface antioxidant activity was influenced by base wine characteristics and inversely related to sur lie aging period. Conversely, the percentage depletion of lees surface antioxidant activity during aging was mainly determined by the length of aging, regardless of wine characteristics. To examine the influence of cell wall thiol groups and adsorbed polyphenols on lees' protective effect, their presence on cell surfaces was assessed. They accounted for 25+/-11% and 54+/-7% of the antioxidant activity measured by DPPH, respectively, and 0.3+/-0.1% and 39+/-8% measured by FRAP, respectively. Only a part of the remnant antioxidant activity of lees surface measured by FRAP could be theoretically explained by the presence of cell wall mannans.

RESUMO

Cell surface properties were determined for the first time for lees of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and they proved to be significantly dependent on the time of sparkling wine ageing on lees. Cell surface hydrophobicity decreased from approximately 44% to 11% of affinity to hexadecane. Electron acceptor capacity (calculated as % affinity to ethyl acetate-% affinity to decane) increased from approximately -27% to 10 % and zeta potential from approximately -4 to 6mV. Mannoproteins are released from the external cell wall layer during the autolytic process, as confirmed by TOF-SIMS analysis of the cell wall chemical composition. This could explain the modifications of lees cell surface properties observed during ageing. Lees flocculation capacity, calculated by the Helm's method, decreased during the period of ageing from approximately 88 % to 40%. Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that lees surface hydrophobicity was the main determinant of lees flocculation capacity, explaining 70.3% of the variability (p<0.01), followed by far by the absolute values of zeta potential, accounting for 9.9% of the variability (p<0.05).
