Anthocyanin characteristics of wines in Vitis germplasms cultivated in southern China

Abstract

The anthocyanin profiles and COELAB color values of nine wines in Vitis germplasms from southern China were compared. The results showed that the anthocyanin composition of wines from one hybrid between V. vinifera and V. labrusca ('Moldova'), two V. labrusca varieties ('Conquistador' and 'Saint-Croix'), one V. quinquangularis variety ('Yeniang No.2'), one hybrid between V. quinquangularis and V. vinifera ('NW196'), one V. davidii variety ('Xiangniang No.1') and one V. rotundifolia variety ('Noble') were dominated by anthocyanidin 3,5-O-diglucosides. All these were quite different from V. vinifera wines ('Cabernet Sauvignon' and 'Marselan'), which were characterized by the monoglucoside and pyranoanthocyanins. 3' ,4' ,5'-substituted anthocyanins were dominant in the wines of all varieties, except 'Noble' wine. 'Yeniang No.2' (V. quinquangularis) had the highest acid, total anthocyanin concentration, and showed a more intense pigmentation with a higher proportion and concentration of coumaroylated anthocyanins. On the colorimetric analysis, 'Yeniang No.2' (V. quinquangularis) wine showed the most saturated red colors, followed by 'NW196' (V. quinquangularis). The detected chromatic characteristics of these wines were basically in accordance with their sensory evaluation.Keywords: anthocyanin; wine; HPLC-MS; V. germplasm; variety.Practical Application: Perfecting evaluation system of the anthocyanin characteristics of nine wines in different V. germplasm from southern China.

Oenological potential and health benefits of Chinese non-Vitis vinifera species: An opportunity to the revalorization and to breed new varieties

“…Thus, anthocyanin composition of V. vinifera grapes is widely different than these aforementioned Vitis species, in which non-acylated derivatives represent between 57 to 75 % of total anthocyanins compared to acetyl, coumaroyl and caffeoyl derivatives (Núñez, Monagas, Gomez-Cordovés, & Bartolomé, 2004;González-Neves et al, 2007; Castillo-Muñoz, Fernández-González, Gómez-Alonso, García-Romero, & Hermosín-Gutiérrez, 2009;Gutiérrez-Gamboa et al, 2017). Colorimetric analysis showed that the wines from V. quinquangularis specie presented the most saturated red color compared to other Vitis germplasms cultivated in South of China, such as Moldova (V. vinifera × V. labrusca), Conquistador and Saint-Croix (V. labusca), Yeniang No.2 (V. quinquangularis), NW196 (V. quinquangularis and V. vinifera), Xiangniang No.1 (V. davidii) and Noble (V. rotundifolia), which was in accordance to the sensory evaluation performed by the judges (Cheng et al, 2018). On the other hand, Wei et al (2018) reported that total phenolic content in V. quinquangularis wines were lower than the wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère.…”

“…Currently, obtain resistance varieties to grapevine diseases without loss of grape berry quality is a crucial challenge for the oenology (Teissedre, 2018). China holds an important abundance of Vitis germplasms resources, which are widely distributed along the country (Cheng et al, 2018). These native species found in China have high vigor, strong grapevine diseases resistance, well climate adaptation, high humidity resistance and low light resistance (Zhang et al, 2012;Liang et al, 2013;Jiao et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2015;Han et al, 2017).…”

“…Native species, such as V. davidii F., are characterized by thick dark-red skins producing dark purple or ruby red color wines, in which C6 compounds are the predominant family of volatile compounds (Liang et al, 2013;Meng et al, 2013). On the other hand, berries from V. quinquangularis R., species have low sugar content, high acidity and dark-colored skins and the wines produced are characterized by pronounced acid and tannic taste (Zou et al, 2012;Cheng et al, 2018).…”

Chromosome-scale genomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics provide insight into the synthesis and regulation of phenols in Vitis adenoclada grapes

“…The results of the Third National Crop Germplasm Resources Survey in China revealed that V. heyneana , V. adenoclada , Vitis davidii , and Vitis pseudoreticulata are widely distributed in the region ( Chen et al., 2020 ). There is a long history of viniculture by using wild grape species in Guangxi, and V. adenoclada grape is an important raw material for wine making in local area ( Cheng et al, 2018 ). Since 2011, research has been carried out to breed the V. adenoclada varieties.…”
