Dans l'actuel panorama du réchauffement climatique, comprendre comment les changements environnementaux affectent le cycle de développement des plantes est l'un des principaux défis de la viticulture. L'accumulation de degrés-jours (DJ), un facteur influencé par le climat, est l'un des principaux facteurs influençant la phénologie des plantes et, par conséquent, le développement des baies pendant le cycle reproductif de la plante. Cependant, l'impact du schéma d'accumulation des degrés-jours pendant cette période demeure peu connu. Nous avons posé l'hypothèse que différents schémas d'accumulation des DJ impliquant des hausses de température induites pendant des périodes correspondant à différents stades de développement pourraient modifier la phénologie de développement des fruits, les voies métaboliques associées à certaines périodes clés du développement sigmoïde des baies de raisin et finalement modifier le profil métabolique des baies à la récolte chez L'Acadie blanc. Dans cette étude, nous nous sommes particulièrement intéressés aux paramètres physicochimiques (solides solubles totaux, pH et acidité titrable) et aux composés volatils (CV) libres et glycosylés. Ainsi, trois traitements d'élévation ciblée de température (prévéraison (PRE), post-véraison (PT) et saison entière (W)) et un traitement témoin (CT), ont été appliqués en 2019 et 2020 sur le cépage L'Acadie blanc, à l'aide de mini-serres mobiles construites sur les rangs, dans un vignoble néo-écossais. Les baies ont été échantillonnées à trois stades phénologiques autour de la maturité optimale des fruits EL-36 (post-véraison), EL-37 (avant maturité) et EL-38 (maturité). Les échantillons ont été congelés à l'azote liquide au champ puis stockés à -80°C. Les composés volatils ont été extraits par extraction sur phase solide (EPS). La fraction libre a ensuite été concentrée à l'aide d'un Kuderna-Danish et la fraction liée a été libérée par hydrolyse enzymatique, puis également concentrée sur Kuderna-Danish; les deux fractions ont été analysées par chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à un spectromètre de masse (CPG-SM). Une analyse de variance (ANOVA) ainsi qu'une analyse en composantes principales ont été réalisées sur les données, à l'aide du logiciel R (Édition 4.0.2). L'accumulation totale de DJ au cours de la saison 2019 et 2020 était significativement plus élevée dans le traitement W, suivi par PRE, PT et CT respectivement. Dans la présente étude, en 2020, le traitement thermique en W a augmenté le contenu en solides solubles totaux des baies. Dans les baies de L'Acadie blanc, 95 composés en 2019 et 99 composés en 2020 incluant des phénols volatils, des monoterpènes, des C₁₃₋norisoprénoïdes et des composés aliphatiques ont été identifiés. L'abondance relative de certains composés a été significativement modifiée par les traitements appliqués. Les composés qui ont contribué le plus au profil aromatique glycosylé étaient (a) l'alcool benzylique et (b) phényléthyl alcool et leur concentration a varié selon les traitements: les traitements sous serres pendant la première phase de développement (prévéraison) (W et PRE) ont montré des valeurs plus élevées par rapport aux traitements PT et CT. Ces résultats suggèrent que certains composés produits dans la voie métabolique du shikimate (dérives du benzène et phénols volatils) peuvent être affectés par des changements dans l'accumulation des DJ au cours de la première phase de développement des baies. Les monoterpènes ont également contribué de façon importante au profil glycosidique. L'accumulation des monoterpènes a été affectée par le traitement thermique et le stade phénologique et le traitement témoin CT a montré les valeurs les plus élevées. Environ 90% de CV libres identifiés étaient des composés synthétisés à partir de la voie de la lipoxygénase, principalement : (E)-2-hexénal et héxanol, et ceux-ci n'ont pas été influencés par le traitement thermique. Notre étude a permis de mieux comprendre l'impact du réchauffement climatique sur la qualité des baies du cépage hybride L'Acadie blanc en identifiant des voies métaboliques pouvant être affectées par ces conditions. Ces résultats apportent une nouvelle compréhension de la relation entre le climat et la composition en composés volatils des baies chez L'Acadie blanc. Nous avons ainsi démontré la plasticité biochimique de Vitis sp. et la possibilité de modifier le profil aromatique et la biochimie des baies. Ce projet de recherche a permis d'acquérir des connaissances nouvelles pour les producteurs en matière de prise de décision concernant les dates de récolte et permettra d'améliorer la qualité vinicole des baies sous climat nordique. / In the current panorama of global warming, understanding how environmental changes affect the development cycle of vines is one of the main challenges in viticulture. The accumulation of growing degree days (GDD), a variable influenced by climate, is one of the major factors influencing plant phenology and, therefore, berry development during the plant's reproductive cycle. However, little is known about the impact of the GDD accumulation pattern during this period. We hypothesized that different patterns of GDD accumulation involving temperature increases during periods corresponding to different developmental stages could modify the phenology of fruits, the metabolic pathways associated with certain key periods of sigmoid development of grape berries and finally modify the metabolic profile of the berries at harvest in L'Acadie blanc. In this study, we were particularly interested in the physicochemical parameters (total soluble solids, pH and titratable acidity) and in free and glycosylated volatile compounds (VC). Thus, three targeted temperature rise treatments (pre-veraison(PRE), post-veraison (PT) and whole season (W)) and a control treatment (CT) were applied in 2019 and 2020 on L'Acadie blanc, using on-the-row mini-greenhouses, in a Nova Scotia vineyard. The berries were sampled at three phenological stages around optimal maturity EL-36 (post-veraison), EL-37 (before maturity) and EL-38 (maturity). The samples were immediately frozen with liquid nitrogen and then stored at -80°C. Volatile compounds were extracted by solid phase extraction (SPE). The free fraction was then concentrated using a Kuderna-Danish and the glycosylated fraction was released by enzymatic hydrolysis, then also concentrated on Kuderna-Danish; the two fractions were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (GCMS). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) as well as a Principal component analysis (PCA) were performed on the data, using R software (Edition 4.0.2). The total accumulation of GDD during the 2019 and 2020 season was significantly higher in treatment W, followed by PRE, PT and CT respectively. In the present study, in 2020, the W mini-greenhouse treatment increased the TSS content of the berries. In L'Acadie blanc berries, 95 compounds in 2019 and 99 compounds in 2020 including volatile phenols, monoterpenes, C₁₃₋norisoprenoids and aliphatic compounds have been identified. The relative abundance of certain compounds was significantly modified by the treatments applied. The compounds that contributed the most to the glycosylated VC profile were (a) benzyl alcohol and (b) phenylethyl alcohol. The concentration varied according to the treatment to which the berries were exposed: the treatments in greenhouses during the first phase of development (pre-veraison) (W and PRE) showed higher values compared to the PT and CT treatments. These results suggest that some compounds produced in the shikimate metabolic pathway (benzene derivatives and volatile phenols) may be affected by changes in the accumulation of GDD during the early stage of berry development. Monoterpenes have also made important contributions to the glycosidic profile. The total accumulation of monoterpenes was affected by the treatment and phenological stage. The CT treatment showed the highest values of monoterpenes in 2020. About 90% of free VC identified were compounds synthesized from the lipoxygenase pathway, mainly: (E)-2-hexenal and hexanol. However, in the case of our study, they were not influenced by the mini-greenhouse treatment. Our study has helped elucidate the impact of global warming on the quality of the berries of the L'Acadie blanc and also to identify the metabolic pathways that may be affected by these conditions. These results provide a new understanding of the relationship between the accumulation of GDD and the volatile composition of berries in L'Acadie blanc. We have thus demonstrated the biochemical plasticity of Vitis sp. and the possibility of modifying the aromatic profile and biochemistry of the berries. This research project has provided new knowledge for producers in decision-making regarding harvest dates and will help improve the wine quality of berries in northern climates.

O Brasil é um grande produtor de frutas, mas com seu clima tropical (elevada umidade e temperatura) acaba proporcionando condições desfavoráveis à conservação de alimentos e principalmente das frutas. A radiação ionizante tem potencial para resolver problemas que afetam o suprimento de alimento em muitos países. Utilizando a dose certa, esta tecnologia tem a capacidade de estender o tempo de prateleira, segurança fitossanitária e controlar a maturação em frutas frescas. Existem no mundo variedades de uva onde a maioria delas pertence à espécie Vitis vinifera. Desta fruta é possível a obtenção de passas como forma de manter as características do produto natural e dificultar a proliferação de microrganismos que possam promover sua deterioração. As maiores fontes de compostos fenólicos são encontradas nas uvas quando comparado a outras frutas e vegetais e, um destes compostos é o resveratrol que se destaca no tratamento de diversas enfermidades, tais como: cardiovasculares, cancerígenas e doenças neurológicas. As amostras de uva foram irradiadas no Multipropósito de 60Co, instalado no Centro de Tecnologia das Radiações (CTR-IPENCNEN/ SP) nas doses de: controle; 0,5; 1; 1,5 e 2 kGy para as analises de cor, textura, sensorial, microbiológico e vida de prateleira. Para as análises de fenólicos totais e resveratrol utilizou-se as doses: controle; 1,5 e 3 kGy. Não ocorreu crescimento bacteriano em nenhuma das amostras. As doses de: 0,5 e 1,5 kGy da variedade de uva Benitaka tiveram boa aceitação no teste sensorial e vida de prateleira, sendo que, as uvas passas não apresentaram variações nestas analises. Foi verificado a presença de resveratrol em todas as amostras tratadas com a radiação ionizante. / Brazil is a major producer of fruits, but its tropical climate with high humidity and temperature, eventually creates unfavorable conditions for the preservation of food and especially the fruit. Ionizing radiation has the potential to solve problems affecting the food supply in many countries. Using the right dose, this technology can be used to extend shelf life and safety of many fresh fruits in addition to controlling their rates of maturation. There are thousands of grape varieties around the wolrd, most of them belonging Vitis vinifera. This fruit can be dried to obtain raisins in order to maintain the natural characteristics of the product and hinder the growth of microorganisms that can promote the deterioration of fresh fruit. One of the major sources of phenolic compounds are found in grapes, compared to other fruits and vegetables. One of the phenolic compounds represented by resveratrol is that stands out when it comes to fighting various diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and neurological diseases. The irradiations were performed in 60Co irradiator Multipurpose Center installed on Radiation Technology (CTR-IPEN-CNEN/SP) with different doses: control, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 kGy for the analysis of color, texture, sensory and microbiological shelf life. For analysis of phenolic compounds and resveratrol were radiated only at doses: control, 1.5 and 3 kGy. With the results it was found that doses of 0.5, 1.5 kGy grape variety Benitaka have been accepted well both in sensory and shelf life tests. Samples of raisins had no variation in this analysis. No microbial growth was found and after treatment with radiation it was possible to prove the presence of resveratrol in all samples.

La microflore des raisins est importante d’un point de vue technologique car elle conditionne en partie la qualité du vin. Or, la diversité des flores fongiques présentes sur baies de raisin ainsi que leur potentiel de contamination du produit final ne sont pas encore pleinement connus. Dans ce cadre, la caractérisation des flores fongiques cultivables présentes sur baies de raisin a été réalisée par PCR ITS-RFLP. 41 espèces de moisissures différentes sur les 43 étudiées appartenant à 11 genres différents ont été caractérisées de façon fiable. Seules les espèces Penicillium thomii et Penicillium glabrum ont présenté le même profil. Ainsi 96.3% des souches étudiées ont été caractérisées avec au maximum 4 enzymes de restriction et 41.5% des souches ont pu l’être avec seulement 2 enzymes de restriction. Ces résultats ont permis d’enrichir les bases de données, moyennement pourvues en séquences ITS caractéristiques de genres ou d’espèces de moisissures présentes sur baies de raisin. De plus, une étude exhaustive des moisissures présentes sur baies de raisin en Bourgogne a permis, par PCR ITS-RFLP, d’identifier 199 souches au niveau de l’espèce et ce quelque soit le genre. Penicillium spinulosum est l’espèce majoritaire isolée pour le millésime 2008 en Bourgogne. Parallèlement, la quantification de Botrytis cinerea, choisi comme micro-organisme modèle, a été réalisée par qPCR. La technique qPCR décrite dans ce travail présente (i) une bonne sensibilté avec une limite de détection de 6.4 pg d’ADN correspondant à 540 spores, (ii) l’originalité de travailler en échantillons naturellement contaminés et la fiabilité d’utiliser un standard interne. L’évaluation de l’efficacité de différentes stratégies de traitements anti-Botrytis a confirmé l’importance de la prophylaxie (effeuillage) dans la lutte contre Botrytis cinerea. / Microbial population of grapes is important from a technological point of view because it determines the quality of wine. But few studies have focused on fungal populations of grapes. A better knowledge of the fungal diversity on grapes, particularly as concerns species responsible for wine defects, may help efforts to control their development.We report the development of a PCR ITS-RFLP method as a fast and easy technique for identifying species of fungal genera present on grapes. By this methode, 41 different fungal species among 43 studied species belonging to 11 genera were characterized at the species level. Only P. thomii remained indistinguishable from P. glabrum. Using this PCR-ITS-RFLP, 96.3% strains tested could be differentiated to the species level with only four enzymes and 41.5% only with two enzymes. Moreover this work has contributed to the enriching of the database of fungal ITS sequences.Thus 199 isolated strain were on grapes in Burgundy vineyard were chacacterized at species level indepdantly of the genus by this method. P. spinolusum was the most frequently isolated species of Penicillium in Burgundy for 2008 vintage. Paralelly, the quantification of Botrytis cinerea, used as model, was developped by qPCR. The assay contained an internal amplification control to compensate for variations in DNA extraction and the various compounds from grapes, had high efficiency and the limit of detection was estimated to be 6.3 pg DNA (corresponding to 540 spores). This method was applied to assess the effects of various treatment strategies against Botrytis in the vineyard and demonstrates the importance of the prophylactic method.

Dans le vin rouge, les composés phénoliques sont souvent associés à la qualité du produit. Parmi eux, les anthocyanes sont responsables de la couleur du vin rouge et chaque cépage possède un génome spécifique déterminant le profil anthocyanique de chacun. Les pratiques culturales peuvent influencer l’accumulation de ces molécules dans la baie de raisin, tandis que les différentes techniques fermentaires peuvent modifier leur extraction. Les flavanols monomères, oligomères et polymères des pépins et des pellicules contribuent à l’amertume et l’astringence des vins. Pendant la vinification et l’élevage, ceux-ci réagissent avec les anthocyanes modifiant les propriétés du vin. De nombreuses publications concernant les caractéristiques sensorielles des flavanols ont été réalisées, alors que la contribution sensorielle des anthocyanes est encore mal connue. Cette thèse se décompose en deux parties. La première partie s’intéresse à l’étude de l’utilisation d’ozone gazeux comme technique pré-fermentaire sur les cépages rouges Nebbiolo et Barbera après récolte et pendant le passerillage. L’ozone est une technique innovante pour la réduction des contaminations microbiennes et la réduction du dioxyde de soufre. L’influence de cette technique sur les parois cellulaire des pellicules, sur l’extraction, la concentration en flavanols et en anthocyanes pendant la macération a été évaluée. L’étude montre que l’ozone possède un impact sur la macération des raisins, induisant une extraction plus importante des anthocyanes dans le Nebbiolo. En revanche, l’ozone n’influence ni les anthocyanes moléculaires, ni le profil variétal de chaque cépage. Pendant le passerillage, l’inverse a été étudié. L’extraction des anthocyanes dans le Nebbiolo est diminuée. A l’inverse, bien que moins d’anthocyanes soient retrouvées dans le raisin de Barbera, le traitement ne possède aucun impact sur l’extraction de celles-ci. Concernant les flavanols, l’extraction est moins influencée par le traitement à l’ozone. Des différences ont été retrouvées dans le cépage Nebbiolo. Les flavonols sont plus concentrés après le traitement avec l’ozone sur les raisins post-récolte, alors qu’ils diminuent pendant le passerillage. La modification causée sur la paroi cellulaire par l’ozone ainsi que la dureté des pellicules pourraient prédire l’extraction des anthocyanes et des flavanols, grâce à des analyses multi-variées. En conséquence, le traitement avec l’ozone doit être adapté en fonction du cépage et du produit final désiré. Dans la deuxième partie, les anthocyanes des raisins ont été extraites à partir des raisins et ces extraits ont été fractionnés en trois fractions, glucoside, acetyl-glucoside et cinnamoyl-glucoside, par Chromatographie de Partage Centrifuge (CPC) et CLHP (Chromatographie Liquide Haute Performance) préparative. L’évaluation de l’astringence a été réalisée par des analyses de précipitation protéique avec une protéine modèle BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) et des protéines salivaires, les anthocyanes réagissant avec ces dernières. Les analyses sensorielles et l’évaluation de l’astringence ont été combinées. La concentration en anthocyane diminue après le traitement avec les protéines salivaires, dans l’extrait total et dans les fractions, en particulier les cinnamoyl-glucosides apparaissent comme les plus réactives avec les protéines salivaires. Les seuils de perception gustatifs ont été calculés avec la méthode “Best estimate threshold” dans le vin modèle. Les fractions acétyl-glucosides et cinnamoyl-glucosides, suivies de la fraction glucoside, possèdent des seuils de perception plus bas aux concentrations retrouvées dans les vins. Les descripteurs associés à ces fractions sont l’amertume et l’astringence. Ces résultats démontreraient que les anthocyanes apportent une contribution sensorielle dans la perception du vin en bouche, corrélée à l’acétylation des molécules. / In red wine, phenolic compounds are generally associated with the quality of products. Among them, anthocyanins extracted from skins are responsible for wine colour. The grapevine genomes determine the anthocyanins profiles, but several factors in the vineyard can influence their accumulation, as well as post-harvest techniques can modify their extraction during winemaking. Monomeric, oligomeric and polymeric flavanols from skins and seeds contribute to astringency and bitterness of wine and during winemaking and ageing complexes formation with anthocyanins modifies wine characteristics. Several publications are available to understand flavanols sensory characteristics, whereas anthocyanins role has not consensus in scientific literature. This PhD thesis is composed by two parts. The first part deal with the evaluation of the use of gaseous ozone as post-harvest technique in red wine grapes Nebbiolo and Barbera used on both fresh grape and during withering. Ozone treatment is an innovative technology proved to avoid mycobiota spoilage and preserving from the use of sulphur dioxide. Its influence on flavanol and anthocyanin contents and extractabilities during maceration was evaluated, considering skin cell wall modification. In fresh grape, ozone influenced skin maceration for both the varieties, leading to a higher anthocyanin extraction in Nebbiolo grapes and lower in Barbera. Ozone did not influence the final individual anthocyanin extractability, respecting the varietal anthocyanin fingerprint. During dehydration, opposite trend was found: in Nebbiolo reported no change in the content of total anthocyanins just after ozone-assisted dehydration, but their extraction yield was lower. On the contrary, although lower contents of anthocyanins were found in Barbera grapes no differences in final extractability was found. Regarding oligomeric and polymeric flavanols, their extractability was less affected by the ozone treatment. Only in Nebbiolo, both oligomeric and polymeric flavanol extraction was increased in fresh grape, whereas it is slightly decrease during dehydration. The ozone-induced modification of skin cell wall composition together with skin hardness parameters fitted well in multivariate models to predict anthocyanins, oligomeric flavanols and polymeric flavanols extraction. Therefore, the ozone treatment should be adapted depending on the variety and on the target wine. In the second part, grape anthocyanins were isolated depending on the acylation patterns, i.e. glucoside, acetyl-glucoside, and cinnamoyl-glucoside by a combination of centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) and preparative-HPLC. Protein precipitation analyses to assess astringency and sensorial analysis were carried out. Anthocyanins reacted with both bovine serum albumine and salivary proteins, in different extent, since higher interaction between anthocyanins and salivary proteins was found with a significative reduction of total extract and fractions glucoside, acetyl-glucoside, and cinnamoyl-glucoside. The latter in particular is the more reactive to salivary proteins. Sensorial analysis was carried out as detection threshold test. Best estimated threshold (BET) of anthocyanins were resulted in wine-range scale, in particular acetyl-glucoside and cinnamoyl-glucoside BET are lower of glucoside threshold, and descriptors reported were astringency and bitterness. These results show that anthocyanins can be detected as in-mouth properties contributors, and the magnitude of their involvement is related to anthocyanins acylation.

La viticulture nordique connaît actuellement un essor important suite au développement de cépages hybrides présentant une tolérance élevée au froid et un potentiel œnologique intéressant. Cependant, la composition volatile de ces cépages est peu connue, ce qui limite le développement de la qualité des vins. Le profil aromatique des raisins et des vins de dix cépages hybrides (Frontenac, Maréchal Foch, Marquette, St. Croix, Sabrevois, Frontenac blanc, Frontenac gris, Seyval, St. Pepin, Vidal) cultivés au Québec pour la production vinicole a donc été réalisé par HS-SPME-GC-MS. Les résultats ont montré des différences importantes entre les arômes variétaux des cépages à l’étude. Chez les rouges et les blancs, une corrélation a été établie entre la teneur en terpènes et en certains composés C6 dans les moûts et leur concentration dans les vins. Les vins de Marquette et de Vidal ont montré une teneur plus élevée en terpènes et en esters éthyliques. / Northern viticulture is currently experiencing an important growth following the development of cold-hardy hybrid varieties with an interesting oenological potential. However, the volatile composition of these varieties is not well known, limiting the improvement of wine quality. The aromatic profile of grapes and wines from hybrid varieties (Frontenac, Marechal Foch, Marquette, St. Croix, Sabrevois Frontenac blanc, Frontenac gris, Seyval, St. Pepin, Vidal) grown in Quebec for wine production has been studied using HS-SPME-GC-MS. The results showed significant differences between the varietal aroma in the grapes and wines under study. In both red and white varieties, correlations were found between the content of terpenes and some C6 compounds in musts, and their subsequent concentration in the wines. Marquette and Vidal wines showed a higher content of terpenes and ethyl esters.

However, grapes outside the standard for export are sold at discounted prices and are often intended for discart. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of grapes produced in the Lower Basin of the São Francisco Valley for the production of raisins. Six grape genotypes without seeds were used in our study: four tint (Cnpuv 8, Adona, BRS Victory BRS Isis) and two white (A1105 and Thomson Seedless). After, grapes were destemmed, sanitized, treated with 1mol.L-1 NaOH and dried at 60 °C. Later, raisins were physically and chemically characterized. The treatment with 1% NaOH was efficient to trigger skin rupture, increasing water loss and reducing drying time. For maintaining the color of the white grapes (A1105), raisins without the use of antioxidants had a lighter color, next to the fruit when in nature. ‘Thompson Seedless’ raisins had higher soluble solids with 43.78 ° Brix and ‘Adona’ had higher titratable acidity, 3.00% tartaric acid, whereas ‘BRS Isis’ had the highest firmness, 90,12g. The genotype had a strong effect on raisin sensory profile. ‘Adona’ and ‘Cnpuv8’ showed higher intensity of caramelized flavor, sweet taste, dry fruit flavor and firmness. ‘BRS Victoria’ raisins had greater acceptance averaging 6.8 in hedonic scale of 9 points and purchase intention to purchase 65% of consumers. ‘Thompson Seedless’ raisins genotype had the highest concentration of sugar, 736.05 g kg-1, while ‘BRS Isis’ and ‘BRS Victoria’ had the highest concentrations of total phenolics and anthocyanins. All red cultivars showed higher concentrations of stilbene, flavonols, flavanols and total phenolic acids higher than ‘Thompson Seedless’. The highest concentration of flavonols was observed ‘BRS Isis’ with 181 mg Kg-1. ‘BRS Victoria’ had the highest concentrations of phenolic acids and stilbene trans-resveratrol at 31.87 and 4.37 mg Kg-1 of dried weight, respectively. / A Região do Submédio do Vale do São Francisco tem apresentado destaque na produção de uvas finas de mesa, representando mais de 95% da exportação nacional de uva. No entanto, uvas que apresentam-se fora do padrão para exportação, são comercializadas com preços reduzidos e muitas vezes são destinadas ao descarte. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial de uvas produzidas no Submédio do Vale do São Francisco para elaboração de passas. Foram avaliados seis genótipos de uva sem sementes, sendo quatro tintas (Cnpuv 8, Adona, BRS Vitória e BRS Isis) e duas brancas (A1105 e Thomson Seedless), que após a colheita as uvas foram desengaçadas, sanitizadas, tratados com NaOH 1mol.L-1 e submetidas a secagem a 60°C. Após, as uvas-passas foram caracterizadas física e quimicamente. O tratamento com NaOH mostrou-se eficiente no processo de ruptura da epiderme, facilitando a perda de água e reduzindo o tempo de secagem. Na manutenção da cor das uvas brancas (A1105), passas desidratadas sem o uso de antioxidantes apresentaram a coloração mais clara, próxima a do fruto quando in natura. Uvas passas elaboradas com ‘Thompson Seedless’ apresentaram maior valor de sólidos solúveis com 43,78 °Brix e a partir do genótipo ‘Adona’ maior acidez, 3,00% ác.tartárico. Passas ‘BRS Isis’ obtiveram a maior firmeza, com 90,12g. O genótipo apresentou influência no perfil sensorial das uvas passas. Uvas-passas dos genótipos Adona e Cnpuv8 diferenciaram-se por apresentar maior intensidade nos atributos sabor caramelizado, gosto doce, sabor de fruta seca e firmeza. Passas elaboradas com ‘BRS Vitória’ apresentaram maior aceitação com média 6,8 em escala hedônica de 9 pontos e intenção de compra de 65% dos consumidores. Uvas passas elaboradas com o genótipo ‘Thompson Seedless’ apresentaram a maior concentração de açúcares totais com 736,05 g Kg-1, enquanto que as passas ‘BRS Isis’ e ‘BRS Vitória’ apresentaram as maiores concentrações de fenólicos totais e antocianinas. Todas as passas elaboradas com as cultivares tintas apresentaram estilbeno, flavonóis, flavonóis e ácidos fenólicos totais superiores a ‘Thompson Seedless’. A maior concentração de flavonóis foi obtida nas passas ‘BRS Isis’ com 181 mg Kg-1 de uva, já as passas elaboradas com ‘BRS Vitória’ apresentaram as maiores concentrações de ácidos fenólicos e do estilbeno trans-resveratrol, com 31,87 e 4,37 mg Kg-1 de uva seca, respectivamente.

Les déchets issus de l’industrie vinicole française sont traditionnellement traités et valorisés en distilleries. Ce travail porte sur l’étude de la valorisation à échelle industrielle d’un des résidus ultimes des distilleries : le marc de raisin épuisé. Les marcs issus de différents bassins de productions français ont été caractérisés chimiquement, principalement par leur taux de tannins condensés et de sucres. Les conditions d’extraction des tannins condensés ont été optimisées en laboratoire puis le procédé a été transféré à l’échelle industrielle. Plusieurs extractions ont été menées dans trois distilleries partenaires et l’analyse chimique (en termes de polyphénols, de tannins condensés, de sucres et de matières inorganiques) des différentes fractions isolées a été réalisée. Des extraits industriels ont permis la fabrication du premier panneau de particules dont l’adhésif est constitué à 80 % de tannins de marcs de raisins et renforcé à l’aide d’une résine synthétique satisfaisant à la norme européenne de cohésion interne. Ces extraits industriels ont également partiellement substitué une résine phénol-formaldéhyde pour la production de panneaux de particules. Différents post-traitements ont été réalisés sur les extraits de marcs afin d’en augmenter la réactivité chimique vis-à-vis d’agents de réticulation. Une filtration à un seuil de coupure de 1 µm a entrainé une légère amélioration des performances adhésives, alors qu’une hydrolyse acide de l’extrait les a dégradées. Un procédé d’ultrafiltration des extraits à 5 kDa ou 1 kDa a permis d’obtenir des extraits beaucoup plus réactifs et ouvre des perspectives pour la production d’adhésifs biosourcés pour le bois / Wastes from the French wine industry are traditionally treated and upgraded in distilleries. This work deals with the study of an industrial-scale valorization of a final waste from distilleries: the spent grape pomace. Pomace from different French production areas were chemically characterized, in terms of condensed tannins and polysaccharides. An extraction process of condensed tannins has been optimized in laboratory and was then transferred to an industrial scale. Several extractions were carried out in three partner distilleries and chemical analysis (in terms of polyphenols, condensed tannins, sugars and inorganics) of the different isolated fractions were performed. Industrial extracts were used for the elaboration of the first particleboard whose adhesive constituted by 80% of grape pomace tannins and strengthened with a synthetic resin to satisfy the European standard for internal bond. These industrial extracts were also used to partially substitute a phenol-formaldehyde resin for the production of particleboards. Different post-treatments were performed on the pomace extracts in order to increase their chemical reactivity toward cross linking agents. Filtration with a cut-off of 1 µm led to a slight improvement in adhesive performances, whereas acid hydrolysis of the extract have degraded it. An ultrafiltration process of the extracts at 5 kDa or at 1 kDa enabled to get much more reactive extracts and opened up prospects for the production of bio-based adhesives for wood

Certains microorganismes qui coexistent sur la vigne, peuvent avoir des effets bénéfiques sur la qualité du vin alors que d'autres peuvent être à l'origine de déviations organoleptiques. Dans la dernière décennie, dans diverses régions viticoles de France, plusieurs odeurs de moisi ou de terre ont été mises en évidence. La (-)-géosmine a été considérée comme étant le principal composé responsable de ce défaut. Des moisissures comme Botrytis cinerea et d’autres appartenant au genre Penicillium ont été souvent isolées à partir des raisins présentant l’odeur « moisi-terreuse ». Les effets de cette molécule sur la qualité des vins a motivé notre étude sur la caractérisation des moisissures responsables de ce défaut organoleptique. A partir d'échantillons prélevés en 2007 en Bourgogne, on a identifié, par des méthodes morphologiques et moléculaires, les moisissures présentes sur les raisins, Une souche de Penicilium expansum (25.03) et deux souches de Botrytis cinerea (BC1 et BC2) ont été sélectionnées. Sur baies de raisin, la validation d’un modèle prédictif des effets combinés de la température et de l'activité de l’eau, sur la croissance des champignons, a pu être mise en oeuvre. Elle a montré, sur de larges gammes de T°C et d’aw, que les modèles cardinaux avec inflexion peuvent être validés sur les produits agro-alimentaires en utilisant le gamma concept. L’étude de l’effet du cuivre sur le taux de croissance radiale et le temps de latence des moisissures, a été entreprise afin de mieux comprendre les mécanismes de résistance au cuivre des champignons et d’en déduire des résultats pour une meilleure efficacité des fongicides. Les moisissures testées ont montré une grande tolérance au cuivre, jusqu’à 4,7 mM pour P. expansum et jusqu’à 8, 2 mM et 7,3 mM respectivement pour B. cinerea, BC1 et BC2. L’étude des effets combinés des facteurs environnementaux et nutritionnels (T°C, CO2; Cu+2) sur la production de géosmine par P. expansum, a conduit à définir les conditions minimisant la production de géosmine. Ainsi, on a pu déterminer que le cuivre (composant actif de nombreux fongicides) est un facteur clé dans la production de géosmine par P. expansum. / Some microorganisms that co-exist on the grapevine may have beneficial effects on the quality of wine whereas others may be at the origin of organoleptic deviations. In the last decade, several mouldy or earthy odors have been highlighted in various wine regions from France. (-)-geosmin was found to be the major compound responsible for this deviation, along with Botrytis cinerea and fungi belonging to the genus Penicillium, since they were frequently isolated from “earthy-musty” odor grapes. The extent of damage on the quality of wines, motivated our study on the caracterisation of grape rot fungi. First of all, the microflora of grapes from Burgundy vineyards was identified (morphological and molecular methods), from samples prelevated in 2007. A Penicilium expansum strain (25.03) and two Botrytis cinerea strains (BC1 and BC2) were chosen for further experiments. The validation of a predictive model for the combined effect of temperature and water activity, on the growth of fungi on grape berries, demonstrated that cardinal models with inflexion can be validated on agri-food products, over a wide range of T°C and aw, using the gamma concept. Further we were focused on the influence of copper on the lag time and radial growth rate of moulds in order to better understand copper resistance mechanisms of the fungi and the efficacity of fongicides. The moulds tested showed a great copper tolerance, 4.7 mM for P. expansum and 8.2 and 7.3 mM for B. cinerea strains, BC1 and BC2 respectively. These results motivated our study on the influence of environmental and nutritional factors (T°C, CO2; Cu2+), using a Doehlert matrix, on geosmin production of the fungi tested. Copper (the active component of the “Bordeaux mixture”) showed to be a key factor in the increase of geosmin production by P. expansum.

This thesis has been prepared as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of faster of Arts, prescribed by the College of the Pacific, Stockton, California. It is sincerely hoped that it will be found useful to all of those who are at all interested in the great industry of raisin making, which has played no small part in the building up of the great San Joaquin Valley and has been responsible for bringing the much needed irrigation system to the valley. Various types of data are here available, including personal opinions from the foremost leaders of the industry, from the results of numerous personal interviews, from technical information on acreages, prices, profits, and costs, from growers' opinions, from the California Raisin Association, the California Raisin Pool, and data from the Federal and State Departments of Agriculture. I have striven to picture the growth of the raisin industry as it actually occurred, in the building up of our state, from the most reliable sources. Efforts toward organization on the part of the grower, have been made significant and much space has bean allotted to the history of the raisin industry. It is readily evident that the producer, have had a difficult up-hill battle every step of the way, and that our present raisin organizations are the results of years of sacrifice and tireless effort, on the part of the few influential leaders. An introduction and definition of terns is placed in the first part of the thesis for the convenience of the reader. The state of California has been divided into four geographical sections, with a brief description of each. An Easterner coming to California for the first time end interested in the raisin business should have no trouble in seeing, with a small amount of reading, the relative importance of each section. What determines the California sales is discussed, a discussion which should be enlightening to the students of economics. The economic status of the raisin industry is another very significant chapter to the economist, because the results of years of research on the pert of the government and state officials ore here included. I have spent considerable tire in observing processes of growing, picking, drying and shipping of raisins; also in gathering information from, persons who were responsible for the propagation of the vines, and who were responsible for their distribution. Many growers, distributors, retailers and consumers were consulted, By account of these interviews are herein contained.
