    Verdicchio macerato in riduzione: come evolvono glutatione e biofenoli

    Il Verdicchio ottenuto in condizioni di ”riduzione” è stato confrontato con un Verdicchio di controllo. E’ stato registrato un andamento a campana del livello di GSH, con un picco massimo durante il processo di fermentazione; dopo sei mesi di maturazione il GSH non era più rilevabile. Acido caffeico, cumarico, i loro esteri e le proantocianine sono presenti maggiormente nel vino conservato per sei mesi, e quindi possono essere considerati i marcatori chimici della maturazione. Altri fenoli naturali (ad es., acido caftarico) calavano durante la conservazione. L’etilcaffeato aumentava in tutti i campioni durante la fermentazione e la maturazione, a conferma della sua origine come prodotto di condensazione fra l’acido caffeico e l’etanolo dopo l’idrolisi dell’acido caftarico

    The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different skin contact percentage (0, 150 and 600 g L -1 of pomace), on the phenolic content and on the reduced glutathione levels in white Verdicchio musts and in the derived wines by using reductive conditions in an industrial winery. The results were compared with those from a control must obtained without maceration. The samples were taken after pressing, during alcoholic fermentation and after six months of storage. The skin contact in low-oxygen atmosphere lead to an increase of the phenolic content and glutathione in must and white wine. At the end of fermentation, the macerated samples with pomace at 600 g L -1 showed higher reduced glutathione and phenolic content, with respect to the other samples. Glutathione and tyrosol were positively correlated with yeast activity but then decreased during ageing. Ethyl caffeate increased in all samples during fermentation and wine ageing, thus confirming its origin as a condensation product between caffeic acid and ethanol after the hydrolysis of caftaric acid
