Summary: The study investigated the accumulation of calcium (Ca) and potassium (K) in grape berries during the growing season and its impact on productivity and quality. Ca accumulation was observed mainly in the skin, while K accumulation was higher in the flesh. The relationship between sugar accumulation and Ca/K content was highly significant, providing useful information for determining optimum grape ripeness.

Summary: It was found that five strains of Wickerhamomyces anomalus released 9.1-19.7% less CO2 compared to S. cerevisiae in synthetic must. Using untargeted metabolomics, co-fermented Cabernet Sauvignon wines were analyzed and it was discovered that all W. anomalus strains significantly reduced the levels of malic acid and hypoxanthine in the wines, promoting the TCA cycle and purine metabolism respectively. Additionally, WG27 strain was found to have a significant impact on secondary metabolites involved in phenylpropanoid and flavonoid metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, and methionine metabolism.

Summary: The application of Biodegradable Liquid Film (BLF) reduces the semi-lethal temperatures and mortality rates of wine grapes in cold environments. BLF treatment increases the levels of soluble protein and soluble sugar, while decreasing the content of superoxide anion and malondialdehyde. The study also found that BLF treatment upregulates the expression levels of certain genes related to freezing tolerance.

Summary: The study systematically investigated the impact of chiral tebuconazole on the flavor and appearance of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. It was found that tebuconazole enantiomers, especially R-tebuconazole, had different effects on the flavor and appearance of young wines, mainly altering fruity and floral characteristics. Additionally, tebuconazole treatment changed the color of young wines, with R-tebuconazole showing the greatest impact on the concentrations of key flavor compounds.

Summary: This study examined the anthocyanin profiles of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes from different regions in Xinjiang, showing that climatic parameters varied significantly between northern and southern Xinjiang, affecting the anthocyanin concentrations in the grapes. The total anthocyanin profiles of Cabernet Sauvignon in certain regions were higher than others, possibly due to higher altitudes, while Merlot in southern Xinjiang had higher anthocyanin concentrations, attributed to lower temperatures and higher humidity levels. Comparing the two varieties, Merlot was more influenced by environmental factors, leading to significant differences in anthocyanin composition and concentration across regions.

Summary: In industrial winemaking, professional winemakers need to make adjustments based on the single-batch fermentation process to produce high-quality wines. Blending different grape varieties can improve the chemical composition and sensory properties of wine, enhancing its complexity. The study found that blending Merlot and Marselan with Cabernet Sauvignon resulted in higher quality and complexity of the wine.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of excess boron on grapevines. The results showed that boron excess significantly reduced nutrient concentrations, chlorophyll content, and CO2 assimilation rate, while increasing leaf phenolic content. Rootstocks also played a role in boron toxicity, with 1103P delaying leaf boron accumulation compared to 101-14 Mgt.

Summary: This study evaluated the food potential of Scenedesmus obliquus biomass obtained from photosynthetic cultures enriched with different concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2). The results showed that higher concentrations of CO2 led to increased synthesis of amino acids and proteins in the cultures. In addition, higher concentrations of chlorophylls were found in cultures with higher CO2 levels, while carotenoid concentrations were higher in cultures with lower CO2 levels. Overall, the Scenedesmus obliquus biomass accumulated significant amounts of proteins, lipids, and pigments through photosynthesis.

Summary: This study examined the effects of reducing sodium nitrite by 50% and adding nisin (200 mg/kg) and different concentrations (0, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%) of jabuticaba peel extract (JPE) on the attributes of Bologna-type sausages. The modified treatments resulted in approximately 50% lower residual nitrite levels and showed color stability during storage. Physicochemical and sensory analyses indicated that JPE exhibited antioxidant activity comparable to sodium nitrite. The microbiological quality of the reformulated products was similar to the control, but further studies are needed to assess the impact on pathogenic microorganisms affected by nitrite.

Summary: An ultrasound pretreatment was used to increase anthocyanins content in blackberry juice. The whole fruits were subjected to sonication without contact with any solvent, followed by pressing to extract the juice. The experimental results showed that 7 minutes of sonication at 65% amplitude increased the anthocyanin content in the juice from 31% to 56% for BRS Xingu, Guarani, and Xavante cultivars. The major anthocyanins, cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside, were found in higher concentrations in sonicated fruits. Therefore, ultrasound pretreatment of whole fruits provides a simple, fast, and environmentally friendly approach to enhance anthocyanin levels in blackberry juices.
