Palytoxins: Chemistry and Detection
Palytoxin is one of the most potent non protein marine toxins known and it is suspected to cause severe, and sometimes even lethal intoxications in humans.
Its origin has long been controversial and different potential production sources have been proposed. Nowadays, dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Ostreopsis are the most accredited producers of palytoxins. Since the isolation of palytoxin in 1971, a number of palytoxin congeners have
been isolated so far from different biological sources. In this chapter the main aspects of chemistry of palytoxins are reported
Analysis of Polyphenols During Alcoholic Fermentation of Red Grape Aglianico (Vitis vinifera L.): Potential Winemaking Optimization and Pomace Valorization
The polyphenol extraction and evolution during a traditional 14-day fermentation of the Aglianico red grape, a variety widely cultivated across Southern Italy, was for the first time investigated, with the purpose of optimizing the phenolic profile in finished wines. Anthocyanins, BSA-reactive tannins, iron-reactive phenols, and vanillin-reactive flavans (VRFs) were analyzed in the free-run must, pressed pomace liquid, and in pomace extracts at different maceration times. Experimental evidence suggested that, instead of the typical 14-day maceration of Aglianico grapes, it is recommendable to choose an 11-day maceration in order to prevent the over-extraction of polyphenols that may detrimentally affect the sensory characteristics of wines. In fact, Aglianico wines, if not properly produced, can be affected by excessive astringency due to its high tannin contents. The findings of the present study can provide insightful knowledge to all the winemakers dealing with grape varieties characterized by high quantities of tannins. Also, an earlier racking would supply grape pomaces extremely rich in valuable phenolic compounds to be extracted and reused in several industrial segments in the frame of circular bioeconomy
