Existant en tant que pratique sportive, l’apnée est également de plus en plus utilisée dans d’autres activités sportives dont la natation, à l’entraînement et/ou en compétition. Toutefois, les réponses à l‘apnée dynamique ont été peu explorées lors d’efforts physiques intenses, en particulier en natation. L’objectif de ce travail de thèse est donc d’étudier sur le terrain en situation de nage (étude 1 et 2) et en laboratoire (étude 3) lors d’un exercice intermittent de pédalage, les réponses physiologiques, psychologiques et ergogéniques à l’apnée aiguë apparaissant lors d’efforts intenses. Le métabolisme a été notamment évalué à partir de la mesure de l’oxygénation tissulaire, de paramètres sanguins et de marqueurs hormonaux. Les principaux résultats de ces études montrent qu’en apnée la performance dépendrait de la capacité des sujets à maintenir leur fréquence cardiaque et que l’effort est globalement perçu comme plus dur. L’apnée n’induisait pas d’augmentation de la lactatémie, sans doute en lien avec l’absence de modification de l’extraction musculaire de l’oxygène. Au niveau cérébral, le maintien de l’oxygénation expliquerait la non modification du temps de réaction en apnée. Enfin toutes nos études ont révélé une désaturation artérielle significative en apnée, dès la première apnée de 10 secondes (étude 3) mais sans effet de la capacité d’apnée (étude 1) ou de l’intensité de nage (étude 2) suggérant que la durée compenserait l’intensité. Il serait donc intéressant d’étudier ultérieurement les effets respectifs du couple intensité/durée et les effets chroniques d’un entraînement comportant un exercice intermittent intense lors d’apnées dynamiques. / Existing as a sport practice, apnea is also increasingly used in other sports activities including swimming, training and/or competition. However, responses to dynamic apnea have been little explored during intense physical exercise, especially in swimming. The objective of this thesis is to study, in the field in swimming situations (study 1 and 2) and in the laboratory (study 3) during an intermittent cycling exercise, the physiological, psychological and ergogenic responses to acute apnea appearing during intense exercises. Metabolism was especially assessed by measurement of tissue oxygenation, blood parameters and hormonal markers. The main results of these studies show that in apnea the performance would depend on the ability of the subjects to maintain their heart rate and that the exercise is globally perceived as harder. Apnea did not induce an increase in lactatemia, probably related to the lack of modification of the muscle extraction of oxygen. At the cerebral level, the maintenance of the oxygenation would explain that the reaction time is not altered with apnea. Finally, all our studies revealed a significant arterial desaturation in apnea at the first repetition of the 10-second apnea (study 3) but without the effect of apnea capacity (study 1) or swimming intensity (study 2) suggesting that the duration would compensate for the intensity. It would therefore be interesting to study later the respective effects of the intensity/duration pair and the chronic effects of training involving intense intermittent exercise during dynamic apneas.

AbstractIn the field of Biomedical Optics measurement of tissue optical properties, like absorption, scattering, and reduced scattering coefficient, has gained importance for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Accuracy in determining the optical properties is of vital importance to quantitatively determine chromophores in tissue.There are different techniques used to quantify tissue chromophores. Reflectance spectroscopy is one of the most common methods to rapidly and accurately characterize the blood amount and oxygen saturation in the microcirculation. With a hyper spectral imaging (HSI) device it is possible to capture images with spectral information that depends both on tissue absorption and scattering. To analyze this data software that accounts for both absorption and scattering event needs to be developed.In this thesis work an HSI algorithm, capable of assessing tissue oxygenation while accounting for both tissue absorption and scattering, is developed. The complete imaging system comprises: a light source, a liquid crystal tunable filter (LCTF), a camera lens, a CCD camera, control units and power supply for light source and filter, and a computer.This work also presents a Graphic processing Unit (GPU) implementation of the developed HSI algorithm, which is found computationally demanding. It is found that the GPU implementation outperforms the Matlab “lsqnonneg” function by the order of 5-7X.At the end, the HSI system and the developed algorithm is evaluated in two experiments. In the first experiment the concentration of chromophores is assessed while occluding the finger tip. In the second experiment the skin is provoked by UV light while checking for Erythema development by analyzing the oxyhemoglobin image at different point of time. In this experiment the melanin concentration change is also checked at different point of time from exposure.It is found that the result matches the theory in the time dependent change of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin. However, the result of melanin does not correspond to the theoretically expected result.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) based on blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast has become a universal methodology in functional neuroimaging. However, the BOLD signal consists of a mix of physiological parameters and has relatively poor reproducibility. As fMRI becomes a prominent research tool for rehabilitation studies involving repeated measures of the human brain, more quantitative and stable fMRI contrasts are needed. This dissertation enhances quantitative measures to complement BOLD fMRI. These additional markers, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) (and hence cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO₂) modeling) are more specific imaging markers of neuronal activity than BOLD. The first aim of this dissertation assesses feasibility of complementing BOLD with quantitative fMRI measures in subjects with central visual impairment. Second, image acquisition and analysis are developed to enhance quantitative fMRI by quantifying CBV while simultaneously acquiring CBF and BOLD images. This aim seeks to relax assumptions related to existing methods that are not suitable for patient populations. Finally, CBF acquisition using a low-cost local labeling coil, which improves image quality, is combined with simultaneous acquisition of two types of traditional BOLD contrast. The demonstrated enhancement of CBF, CBV and CMRO₂measures can lead to better characterization of pathophysiology and treatment effects.

Use of arsenic-rich groundwater for crop irrigation can increase the arsenic (As) content in food crops and act as a carcinogen, compromising human health. Using aquatic plant based phytofiltration is a potential eco-technique for removing arsenic from water. The aquatic moss species Warnstorfia fluitans grows naturally in mining areas in northern Sweden, where high concentrations of arsenic occur in lakes and rivers. This species was selected as a model for field, climate chamber and greenhouse studies on factors governing arsenic removal and arsenic phytofiltration of irrigation water. The arsenic and silicon (Si) concentrations in soil, water and plant samples were measured by AAS (atomic absorption spectrophotometry), while arsenite and arsenate species were determined using AAS combined with high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an anion exchange column. The arsenic content in grains of hybrid and local aromatic rice (Oryza sativa) cultivars with differing arsenic accumulation factor (AF) values was investigated in an arsenic hotspot in Bangladesh. The results showed that arsenic AF was important in identifying arsenic-safer rice cultivars for growing in an arsenic hotspot. The study based on silicon effect on arsenic uptake in lettuce showed that arsenic accumulation in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) could be reduced by silicon addition. The aquatic moss had good phytofiltration capacity, with fast arsenic removal of up to 82% from a medium with low arsenic concentration (1 µM). Extraction analysis showed that inorganic arsenic species were firmly bound inside moss tissue. Absorption of arsenic was relatively higher than adsorption in the moss. Regarding effects of different abiotic factors, plants were stressed at low pH (pH 2.5) and arsenic removal rate was lower from the medium, while arsenic efflux occurred in arsenate-treated medium at low (12°C) and high (30°C) temperature regimes. Besides these factors, low oxygenation increased the efficiency of arsenic removal from the medium. Finally, combining W. fluitans as a phytofilter with a lettuce crop on a constructed wetland significantly reduced the arsenic content in edible parts (leaves) of lettuce. Thus W. fluitans has great potential for use as an arsenic phytofilter in temperate regions. / <p>QC 20170323</p>

Les patients coronariens (PC) sont plus à risque de présenter des déficits cognitifs et certains types démence. Les fonctions cognitives des PC ont été étudiées au repos, mais jamais au cours d’une séance d’exercice aigu. L’exercice aigu à haute intensité peut affecter négativement la performance cognitive chez des personnes saines. Bien que les PC soient plus à risque de dysfonctions cérébrales et cardiovasculaires, cette relation n’a jamais été étudiée au sein de cette population clinique et peut permettre de mieux comprendre l’axe coeur-cerveau. Il était postulé que la performance cognitive sera affectée par l’exercice à haute intensité due à une diminution de l’apport en oxygène seulement chez les patients coronariens. Trente-huit PC et 16 participants sains ont été recrutés. Les participants ont complété les mesures suivantes : (1) des tests neuropsychologiques et une familiarisation à la tâche de Stroop modifiée informatisée (2) un test mesurant la consommation d’oxygène jusqu’au pic de l’effort (VO2pic) et (3) la tâche de Stroop à 30% et 70% de leur puissance maximale atteinte au VO2pic tout en pédalant sur un ergomètre. L’oxygénation cérébrale a été mesurée grâce à la spectroscopie proche infrarouge. Les résultats ont démontré que la performance cognitive est restée stable entre les deux intensités pour les deux groupes. Chez les PC, le volume sanguin cérébral était affecté négativement par l’effort physique à haute intensité comparativement à l’intensité modérée et aux participants sains. La maladie coronarienne affecte négativement l’oxygénation cérébrale pendant un effort à haute intensité. D’autres études sont nécessaires afin de déterminer si un test cognitif administré pendant un effort physique pourrait permettre d’identifier les patients coronariens à risque de déclin cognitif. / Coronary heart disease (CHD) patients are at higher risk for developing cognitive deficits and certain types of dementia. The cognitive functions of coronary patients have been studied at rest, but never during an acute exercise session. Acute high intensity exercise negatively affects cognitive performance in healthy people. Although coronary patients are at higher risk of cerebral and cardiovascular dysfunction, this relationship has never been studied in this clinical population and could help better understanding of the heart-brain axis. The aim of this study was to measure the effects of an acute exercise at two different intensities on cognitive performance and cerebrovascular response in CHD patients. It was hypothesized that higher exercise intensity will impair executive performance and cerebrovascular response only in CHD patients. Thirty-eight CHD patients and 16 healthy controls completed neuropsychological assessments, maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing and two exercise bouts at 30% and 70% of their individualized maximum capacity on an ergocycle while performing a cognitive test including non-executive and executive conditions. Cerebral oxygenation and perfusion were measured during both intensities in all participants with near-infrared spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that the cognitive performance remained stable between the two intensities for both groups. In CHD patients only, cerebral blood volume was negatively affected by high intensity exercise compared with moderate intensity. Coronary heart disease negatively affects cerebral oxygenation during high intensity exercise. Further studies are needed to determine whether a cognitive test administered during physical exertion could identify coronary patients at risk of cognitive decline.

L’adaptation des principes ERAS à l’anesthésie du lapin pourrait améliorer leur taux de mortalité périopératoire élevé. Le développement d’un protocole IM réversible pourrait raccourcir le réveil et diminuer les complications. Les objectifs de ce mémoire sont 1) d’investiguer la relation entre l’administration d’oxygène et la ventilation et 2) de définir les paramètres PK-PD du midazolam IV midazolam et son antagoniste flumazénil chez le lapin. Dans une étude prospective, randomisée, à l’aveugle, 25 lapins de Nouvelle-Zélande (4 mâles, 21 femelles ; 3,1–5,9 kg ; 1 an) ont été anesthésiés avec l’alfaxalone (4 mg/kg), dexmédétomidine (0,1 mg/kg) et midazolam (0,2 mg/kg) IM et randomisés à attendre 5 (n = 8) ou 10 (n = 17) minutes entre l’injection anesthésique et l’administration d’oxygène (100%) ou air médical (masque,1 L/minute). Avant (PREoxy/air5/10) et 2 minutes après l’oxygène ou l’air médical (POSToxy/air5/10), la fréquence respiratoire (fR), pH, PaCO2, PaO2 ont été investigués. L’hypoxémie (PaO2 < 88 mmHg) était présente à tous les temps PRE : PREoxy5 [71 (61–81) mmHg] ; PREoxy10 [58 (36–80) mmHg] et PREair10 [48 (32–64) mmHg]. L’hypoxémie a persisté avec l’air médical : POSTair10 [49 (33–66) mmHg]. L’administration d’oxygène a corrigé l’hypoxémie, mais était associée avec une diminution de fR (> 70% ; p = 0,016, deux groupes) et de l’hypercapnie (p = 0,016, deux groupes). fR restait inchangé avec l’air médical (p = 0,5). PaCO2 était plus élevé avec l’oxygène que l’air (p < 0,001). L’administration d’oxygène précoce a résolu l’hypoxémie reliée à l’anesthésie, mais a empiré l’hypoventilation démontrant que la stimulation respiratoire hypoxique est un facteur important contribuant à la ventilation lorsque ce protocole anesthésique est utilisé. Dans une étude prospective, randomisée, à l’aveugle et croisé, 15 lapins de Nouvelle-Zélande (7 mâles, 8 femelles; 2,73 – 4,65 kg ; 1 an) ont reçu midazolam IV (1,2 mg/kg) à T0 suivi de flumazénil IV (FLU ; 0,05 mg/kg) ou saline (SAL ; même volume) pour renverser la perte du réflexe de redressement (LORR). Le traitement (FLU/SAL) était injecté 30 secondes après LORR. L’échantillonnage sanguin artériel était analysé avec la technique de chromatographie liquide/spectrométrie de masse. Le temps pour le retour du réflexe de redressement (ReRR) était analysé. Demi-vie, clairance plasmatique and volume de distribution du FLU étaient 26,3 min [95%CI : 23,3–29,3], 18,74 mL/min/kg [16,47–21,00] et 0,63 L/kg [0,55–0,71], respectivement. ReRR était 25 fois plus rapide pour FLU (23 [8–44] secondes) versus SAL (576 [130–1141] secondes ; p<0.001, 95%CI [425–914 secondes]). Le retour de la sédation (LORR) était présent dans les deux groupes (4/13 FLU ; 7/13 SAL) à 1540 [858–2328] secondes. Le flumazénil a rapidement antagonisé la sédation du midazolam. Cependant, le potentiel de resédation après l’utilisation du flumazénil nécessite une surveillance accrue durant la période de réveil. / Adapting ERAS guideline principles to rabbit anesthesia could improve their risk of perioperative mortality which remains elevated. The development of a reversible IM protocol could hasten recovery and decrease complications. The objectives of this thesis were 1) to investigate the relationship between oxygen administration and ventilation, 2) to define PK-PD parameters of IV midazolam and its antagonist flumazenil in rabbits. In a prospective, randomized, blinded study, 25 New Zealand White rabbits (4 males, 21 females; 3.1–5.9 kg; 1 year old) were anesthetized with IM alfaxalone (4 mg/kg), dexmedetomidine (0.1 mg/kg) and midazolam (0.2 mg/kg) and randomized to a 5 (n = 8) or 10 (n = 17) minutes waiting period between drug injection and oxygen (100%) or medical air administration (facemask, 1 L/minute). Immediately before (PREoxy/air5/10) and 2 minutes after oxygen or medical air (POSToxy/air5/10), respiratory rate (fR), pH, PaCO2, PaO2 were investigated. Hypoxemia (PaO2 < 88 mmHg) was observed at all PRE times. PREoxy5 [71 (61–81) mmHg]; PREoxy10 [58 (36–80) mmHg] and PREair10 [48 (32–64) mmHg]. Hypoxemia persisted when breathing air: POSTair10 [49 (33–66) mmHg]. Oxygen administration corrected hypoxemia but was associated with decreased fR (> 70%; p = 0.016, both groups) and hypercapnia (p = 0.016, both groups). fR was unchanged breathing air (p = 0.5). PaCO2 was higher when breathing oxygen than air (p < 0.001). Early oxygen administration resolved anesthesia-induced hypoxemia, but worsened hypoventilation indicating that hypoxic respiratory drive is an important contributor to ventilation using the studied drug combination. In a prospective, randomized, blinded, crossover study, 15 New Zealand White rabbits (7 males, 8 females; 2.73 – 4.65 kg, 1 year old) received IV midazolam (1.2 mg/kg) followed by IV flumazenil (FLU; 0.05 mg/kg) or saline control (SAL; equal volume) to reverse loss of righting reflex (LORR). Midazolam was injected (T0). Treatment (FLU/SAL) injected 30 seconds after LORR. Arterial blood samples were collected and analyzed using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Time to return of righting reflex (ReRR) compared between groups. FLU terminal half-life, plasma clearance and volume of distribution were 26.3 min [95%CI: 23.3–29.3], 18.74 mL/min/kg [16.47–21.00] and 0.63 L/kg [0.55–0.71], respectively. ReRR was 25 times faster in FLU (23 [8–44] seconds) versus SAL (576 [130–1141] seconds; p<0.001, 95%CI [425–914 seconds]). Return of sedation (LORR) occurred in both groups (4/13 in FLU; 7/13 in SAL) at 1540 [858–2328] seconds. Flumazenil quickly and reliably reversed sedation from midazolam injection. However, the potential resedation after flumazenil administration warrants careful monitoring in the recovery period.

[ES] El mercado actual del vino tinto demanda vinos de gran potencia visual, elevada concentración aromática y que no resulten excesivamente astringentes ni amargos. Asimismo, el consumidor final demanda cada vez más vinos que se desarrollen en una viticultura más orgánica que garantice la sostenibilidad del cultivo. Para cumplir con estas expectativas, se está limitando la utilización de compuestos químicos en el viñedo, sustituyéndolos por otros naturales con menor impacto medioambiental, y se están utilizando en bodega técnicas como la maceración prefermentativa, que contribuye a la extracción de antocianos y aromas, o la microoxigenación, que permite estabilizar los compuestos polifenólicos en un tiempo reducido. El color de los vinos depende de su concentración en antocianos, pero también la forma y el estado en que éstos se encuentren en el vino, que depende de diferentes factores, siendo uno de ellos el fenómeno de la copigmentación como paso anterior a la polimerización y estabilización. Además, el oxígeno juega un papel crucial en la evolución del color, así como en la oxidación de los polifenoles y en la formación de complejos más estables. El aroma también es muy importante en los vinos, ya que es uno de los primeros aspectos que percibimos. Por ello, es de gran importancia la utilización de técnicas de vinificación que permitan extraer el mayor potencial aromático de los precursores que se encuentran en las uvas. Para conseguir incrementar la calidad de los vinos tintos elaborados con la variedad Monastrell, estableciendo una metodología de elaboración que permita mejorar la concentración polifenólica y aromática de estos vinos, se ha estudiado el efecto de la aplicación en la uva, 10 días antes de la vendimia, de sustancias copigmentantes, tales como, extractos vegetales (romero, trigo sarraceno y té verde) y copigmentos puros (ácido cafeico, rutina y catequina). Asimismo, los copigmentos puros también se aplicaron a la entrada en bodega. Se ensayaron dos técnicas enológicas diferentes: la vinificación tradicional y la maceración prefermentativa en frío (6-8ºC), seguida de vinificación tradicional. Por último, una vez concluida la fermentación maloláctica, los vinos obtenidos fueron sometidos a una adición controlada de acetaldehído durante 45 días, seguido de un proceso de conservación en botella de 12 meses. Los resultados mostraron que los tratamientos con copigmentos, especialmente con extractos vegetales ricos en copigmentos, incrementaron la concentración de antocianos polimerizados y totales, y de compuestos aromáticos favorables para la calidad, destacando el extracto de romero por su acción directa sobre el color de los vinos de Monastrell. Utilizar la maceración prefermentativa en la elaboración de los vinos procedentes de tratamientos de copigmentación, ha permitido incrementar la concentración de polifenoles totales y taninos condensados, así como la de ésteres y acetatos. La microoxigenación, mediante la aplicación de acetaldehído durante la conservación de los vinos tratados previamente con copigmentos, dio lugar a un incremento del porcentaje de antocianos polimerizados, de la concentración de antocianos, de taninos condensados y de polifenoles totales, no afectando a la composición aromática de los vinos. Por todo ello, se puede establecer que la combinación de tratamientos de copigmentación en el campo, especialmente con extractos vegetales, de maceración prefermentativa durante la elaboración, y de microoxigenación durante la conservación, permite elaborar vinos de Monastrell con un color más estable, mayor concentración de compuestos polifenólicos, y mayor concentración de ésteres y acetatos, compuestos relacionados con aromas positivos florales, frutales y especiados. / [CA] El mercat actual del vi negre demana vins de gran potència visual, elevada concentració aromàtica i que no siguen excessivament astringents ni amargs. Així mateix, el consumidor final demana cada vegada més vins que es desenvolupen en una viticultura més orgànica que garanteisca la sostenibilitat del cultiu. Per complir amb aquestes expectatives, s'està limitant la utilització de compostos químics a la vinya, substituint-los per altres naturals amb menor impacte mediambiental, i s'estan utilitzant al celler tècniques com la maceració prefermentativa, que contribueix a l'extracció d'antocians i aromes, o la microoxigenació, que permet estabilitzar els compostos polifenòlics en un temps reduït. El color dels vins depèn de la seua concentració en antocians, però també en la forma i l'estat en que aquests es troben en el vi, que depèn de diferents factors, siguent un d'ells el fenòmen de la copigmentació com pas anterior a la polimerització i l'estabilització. A més a més, l'oxígen juga un paper crucial en l'evolució del color, així com en l'oxidació dels polifenols i en la formació dels complexos més estables. L'aroma també és molt important en els vins, ja que és un dels primers aspectes que percebem. Per això, és de gran importància la utilització de tècniques de vinificació que permeten extraure el major potencial aromàtic dels precursors que es troben al raïm. Per aconseguir augmentar la qualitat dels vins negres elaborats amb la varietat Monastrell, establint una metodologia d'elaboració que permeta millorar la concentració polifenòlica i aromàtica d'aquests vins, s'ha estudiat l'efecte de l'aplicació en el raïm, 10 dies abans de la verema, de substàncies copigmentants, com ara, extractes vegetals (romer, blat negre i te verd) i copigments purs (àcid cafeic, rutina i catequina). Així mateix, els copigments purs també es van aplicar a l'entrada al celler. Es van assajar dos tècniques enològiques diferents: la vinificació tradicional i la maceració prefermentativa en fred (6-8ºC), seguida de vinificació tradicional. Finalment, una vegada conclosa la fermentació malolàctica, els vins obtinguts van ser sotmesos a una addició controlada d'acetaldehid durant 45 dies, seguit d'un procés de conservació en ampolla de 12 mesos. Els resultats van mostrar que els tractaments amb copigments, especialment amb extractes vegetals rics en copigments, van augmentar la concentració d'antocians polimeritzats i totals, i de compostos aromàtics favorables per a la qualitat, destacant l'extracte de romer per la seua acció directa sobre el color dels vins de Monastrell. Utilitzar la maceració prefermentativa en l'elaboració dels vins procedents de tractaments de copigmentació, ha permès augmentar la concentració de polifenols totals i tanins condensats, així com la d'èsters i acetats. La microoxigenació, mitjançant l'aplicació d'acetaldehid durant la conservació dels vins tractats prèviament amb copigments, va donar lloc a un augment del percentatge d'antocians polimeritzats, de la concentració d'antocians, de tanins condensats i de polifenols totals, no afectant a la composició aromàtica dels vins. Per tot això, es pot establir que la combinació de tractaments de copigmentació en el camp, especialment amb extractes vegetals de maceració prefermentativa durant l'elaboració, i de microoxigenació durant la conservació, permet elaborar vins de Monastrell amb un color més estable, més concentració de compostos polifenòlics, i major concentració d'èsters i acetats, compostos relacionats amb aromes positus florals, fruitals i especiats. / [EN] The current red wine market demands wines with high visual power, great aromatic concentration and that are not excessively astringent or bitter. Furthermore, the final consumer increasingly demands developed wines in a more organic viticulture in order to ensure the sustainability of the crop. To meet these expectations, the use of chemical compounds in the vineyard is being limited, replacing them by another natural ones with less environmental impact, and techniques such as pre-fermentation maceration are being used in the winery, which contributes to the extraction of anthocyanins and aromas, or micro-oxygenation, that allows polyphenolic compounds to be stabilized in a reduced time. The colour of wines depends on their concentration in anthocyanins, but also the form and state in which they are found in the wine, which depends on several factors, one of them being the phenomenon of copigmentation as a previous step to polymerization and stabilization. In addition, the oxygen has a crucial role in colour's evolution, as well as, in the oxidation of polyphenols and in the formation of more stable complexes. Aroma is also very important in wines, due to the fact that is one of the first aspects that we perceive. For this reason, the use of vinification techniques that allow extracting the greatest aromatic potential of the precursors found in the grapes, is of great importance. In order to increase the quality of red wines made with the Monastrell variety, establishing a production methodology that allows improving the polyphenolic and aromatic concentration of these wines, the effect of the application on the grape, 10 days before harvest, has been studied, of copigmenting substances such as plant extracts (rosemary, buckwheat and green tea) and pure copigments (caffeic acid, rutin and catechin). Likewise, pure copigments were also applied in the cellar entrance. Two different enological techniques were tested: traditional vinification and cold pre-fermentation maceration (6-8ºC), followed by traditional vinification. Finally, once the malolactic fermentation was concluded, the wines obtained were subjected to a controlled addition of acetaldehyde for 45 days, followed by a 12-month bottle preservation process. The results showed that treatments with copigments, especially with plant extracts rich in copigments, increased the concentration of polymerized and total anthocyanins, and aromatic compounds favorable for quality, highlighting rosemary extract for its direct action on the colour of wines of Monastrell. Using pre-fermentation maceration in the production of wines from copigmentation treatments has made it possible to increase the concentration of total polyphenols and condensed tannins, as well as that of esters and acetates. Micro-oxygenation through the application of acetaldehyde during the conservation of wines previously treated with copigments gave rise to an increase in the percentage of polymerized anthocyanins, in the concentration of anthocyanins, in condensed tannins and in total polyphenols, without affecting the aromatic composition of the wines. For all of these reasons, it can be established that the combination of copigmentation treatments in the field, particularly with plant extracts, pre-fermentation maceration during production and micro-oxygenation during storage, allows the production of Monastrell wines with a more stable colour, higher concentration of polyphenolics, and higher concentration of esters and acetates, compounds related to positive floral, fruity and spicy aromas. / Anaya Martínez, JA.
