Unravelling copper effect on the production of varietal thiols during Colombard and Gros Manseng grape juices fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1101110.

Abstract
Nowadays the rapidly increasing organic vineyard management with the utilization of copper as sole fungal control pesticide against downy mildew raises once again the question of copper impact on varietal thiols in wine. For this purpose, Colombard and Gros Manseng grape juices were fermented under different copper levels (from 0.2 to 3.88 mg/l) to mimic the consequences in must of organic practices. The consumption of thiol precursors and the release of varietal thiols (both free and oxidized forms of 3-sulfanylhexanol and 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate) were monitored by LC-MS/MS. It was found that the highest copper level (3.6 and 3.88 mg/l for Colombard and Gros Manseng respectively) significantly increased yeast consumption of precursors (by 9.0 and 7.6% for Colombard and Gros Manseng respectively). For both grape varieties, free thiol content in wine significantly decreased (by 84 and 47% for Colombard and Gros Manseng respectively) with the increase of copper in the starting must as already described in the literature. However, the total thiol content produced throughout fermentation was constant regardless of copper conditions for the Colombard must, meaning that the effect of copper was only oxidative for this variety. Meanwhile, in Gros Manseng fermentation, the total thiol content increased along with copper content, resulting in an increase up to 90%; this suggests that copper may modify the regulation of the production pathways of varietal thiols, also underlining the key role of oxidation. These results complement our knowledge on copper effect during thiol-oriented fermentation and the importance of considering the total thiol production (reduced+oxidized) to better understand the effect of studied parameters and differenciate chemical from biological effects.

Abstract
For many years, knowledge on thiol precursors has been limited to S-conjugates of glutathione (G3SH), cysteine (Cys3SH), and later on the dipeptides γ-GluCys and CysGly. In this work, we took the parallel between precursor degradation and the glutathione-mediated detoxification pathway a step further by considering a new type of derivative, 3-S-(N-acetyl-l-cysteinyl)hexanol (NAC3SH). This compound was synthesized and then added to the existing liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method of thiol precursors. This intermediate was only identified during alcoholic fermentation in synthetic must spiked with G3SH (1 mg/L or 2.45 μmol/L) in the presence of copper with concentration above 1.25 mg/L, which demonstrates for the first time the existence of this new derivative (until 126 μg/L or 0.48 μmol/L) and the capacity of the yeast to produce such a compound. Its status as a precursor was also studied during fermentation, in which a release of 3-sulfanylhexanol was noted corresponding to a conversion yield close to 0.6%. This work completed the thiol precursor's degradation pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in synthetic conditions with a new intermediate, confirming its connection with the xenobiotic detoxification pathway and giving new insights on the precursor's fate.

Abstract
In Saccharomyces, the IRC7 gene encodes for a cysteine S-conjugate β-lyase enzyme which can release polyfunctional thiols from their cysteinylated precursor forms, thereby promoting thiol aroma in beer. This study examined the thiol production of 10 commercial yeast strains in two different media, a hopped yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) medium and a 100% barley malt wort to explore how differences in yeast strain and medium conditions influence the release of polyfunctional thiols. 3-Sulfanylhexan-1-ol was most affected by medium conditions, and its concentrations were highest in wort fermentations. The higher nitrogen content and pH of the YPD medium relative to the wort fermentations were notable differences, and significant correlations between these variables and the extent of free thiol production were observed. A strong association existed between polyfunctional thiol concentrations and the fermentation-derived, malt, and hop-derived compounds 2-phenylethanol, β-damascenone, and β-ionone. The sensory impressions of thiol character in beer were influenced by the presence of other aromatic compounds such as esters and terpene alcohols, and aroma attributes such as "tropical" were not the most suitable for describing beers brewed with yeasts that fully express homozygous IRC7F. Sensory attributes "sweaty", "vegetal", and "overripe fruit" were more strongly associated with these strains.

Abstract
Disulfide-bonded thiols in malt and hops were first identified as possible precursors of thiols in beer. The presence of disulfide-bonded 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH) was confirmed in malt and hops by observing an 8.9-9.9 times increase in the 3MH concentration in hopped water and unhopped wort after the reduction using tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), a reducing agent specific for disulfide bonds. The presence of disulfide-bonded 4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-one (4MMP) was confirmed in hops by observing 2.1 and 5.1 times increase in the 4MMP concentration after reduction in hopped water. Proteins, peptides, and amino acids having sulfhydryl groups or other thiol substances were assumed to form disulfide bonds with polyfunctional thiols in malt and hops. The release of thiols by the reduction of disulfide-bonded thiols during fermentation was first identified. A 65-82% of disulfide-bonded 3MH were reduced during fermentation, and as a result, concentrations of 3MH in hopped water and unhopped wort increased by 9.5-14.2 times during fermentation.

Abstract
Volatile polyfunctional thiol compounds, particularly 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate (3SHA), are key odorants contributing to the aroma profile of many wine styles, generally imparting tropical grapefruit and passionfruit aromas. 3SH and 3SHA are present in negligible concentrations in the grape berry, juice, and must, suggesting that they are released from non-volatile precursors present in the grape. The exploration of the nature and biogenesis of these precursors to 3SH and 3SHA has proven important for the elucidation of polyfunctional thiol biogenesis during alcoholic fermentation. The development and validation of appropriate analytical techniques for the analysis of 3SH precursors in enological matrices have been extensive, and this review explores the analysis and discovery of these precursor compounds. The development of analytical methods to analyze 3SH precursors, from the selection of the analytical instrument, sample preparation, and methods for standardization, will first be discussed, before highlighting how these techniques have been used in the elucidation of the biogenesis of 3SH and 3SHA in grape wines. Lastly, the future of thiol precursor analysis will be considered, with the development of new methods that greatly reduce the sample preparation time and enable multiple precursors, and the thiols themselves, to be quantitated using a single method.

Abstract
Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are associated with unpleasant reductive aromas and are responsible for an important reduction in wine quality, causing major economic losses. Understanding the origin of these compounds in wine remains a challenge, as their formation and further evolution during winemaking can involve both chemical and biological reactions. Comparing the VSCs profile (i) of fermenting synthetic grape juices supplemented with a selected VSC (eight compounds tested) and incubated in presence or absence of yeast, and (ii) during storage of wines under an accelerated aging procedure, allowed us to elucidate the chemical and metabolic connections between VSCs during fermentation and aging. Yeast metabolism, through the Ehrlich pathway and acetylation reactions, makes an important contribution to the formation of compounds such as methionol, 3-methylthiopropionate, 3-methylthiopropylacetate, 3-mercaptopropanol, 2-mercaptoethanol and thioesters. By contrast, chemical reactions are responsible for interconversions between thiols and disulfides, the formation of thiols from thioesters or, more surprisingly, the formation of ethylthiopropanol from methionol during fermentation. During aging, variations in heavy VSC concentrations, such as an increase in 3-methylthiopropylacetate and a decrease in ethyl-3-methylthiopropionate formation, were evidenced. Overall, this study highlights that it is essential to consider both yeast metabolism and the high chemical reactivity of VSCs to understand their formation and evolution during winemaking.

Abstract
Polyphenolic fractions from Garnacha, Tempranillo, and Moristel grapes were reconstituted to form model wines of identical pH, ethanol, amino acid, metal, and varietal polyfunctional mercaptan (PFM) contents. Models were subjected to a forced oxidation procedure at 35 °C and to an equivalent treatment under strict anoxia. Polyphenolic profiles significantly determined oxygen consumption rates (5.6-13.6 mg L-1 day-1), Strecker aldehyde (SA) accumulation (ratios max/min around 2.5), and levels of PFMs remaining (ratio max/min between 1.93 and 4.53). By contrast, acetaldehyde accumulated in small amounts and homogeneously (11-15 mg L-1). Tempranillo samples, with highest delphinidin and prodelphinidins and smallest catechin, consume O2 faster but accumulate less SA and retain smallest amounts of PFMs under anoxic conditions. Overall, SA accumulation may be related to polyphenols, producing stable quinones. The ability to protect PFMs as disulfides may be negatively related to the increase in tannin activity, while pigmented tannins could be related to 4-methyl-4-mercaptopentanone decrease.

Abstract
Nowadays, nanoscience is a leading modern science that has a major impact on the food, pharmaceutical, and agriculture sectors. Several nanomaterials show a great potential for use during vine growing and winemaking processes. In viticulture, nanotechnology can be applied to protect vines against phytopathogens and to improve grape yield and quality. Thus, nanotechnology may allow the use of lesser amounts of phytochemical compounds, reducing environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable agriculture. And in winemaking, nanomaterials and nanodevices can be used to control the growth of spoilage microorganisms and to reduce or remove undesirable compounds, such as ethyl phenols (4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol), biogenic amines, and tartaric acid, and so on, as well as to facilitate some technological processes (i.e. in wine filtration to eliminate microorganisms). This review summarizes recent studies with applications of nanotechnology in viticulture in order to facilitate agronomic management and optimize grape production and in enology to improve wine quality and safety. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This research details the development of a novel LC-MS/MS method involving a QuEChERS-based extraction that, for the first time, achieves the fast and concurrent analysis of both free varietal thiols (3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol, 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate, and 4-methyl-4-sulfanylpentan-2-one) and their S-glutathionylated/S-cysteinylated precursors in wine samples. Limits of detections for the free thiols were comparable to or lower than those obtained with previously reported more laborious methods. Repeatability for the free thiols ranged between 3-19% and from 0.1-7.7% for the thiol precursors. The method was subsequently applied to the analysis of a selection of 22 wines from a range of different grape varieties. The rapidity of this method combined with its sensitivity makes it suitable for both research and industry applications.

Abstract
In alcoholic fermentation, under oenological conditions, the environmental parameters impacting fermentation kinetics and aroma production have been widely studied. The nitrogen content of grape must was found to be one of the most important parameters for both of these aspects of fermentation. Many studies have been performed on the effect of mineral nitrogen addition. However, it has increasingly been observed that the nature of the nitrogen added leads to different results. Our work focused on the effects of peptide addition on both fermentation kinetics and aroma production. Peptides are one of the less well understood sources of assimilable nitrogen, as their incorporation by yeast remains unclear. In this study, we compared the effect of the addition of a “classic” assimilable nitrogen source (ammonium + amino acids) with that of peptide addition in both white and red must fermentation by screening 18 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in total. Our data show that peptide addition enhances fermentation kinetics and leads to specific changes in the production of fermentative aromas. The impact of peptides on thiol synthesis is rather limited.

Abstract
cis-2-Methyl-4-propyl-1,3-oxathiane (cis-2-MPO) was recently identified in wine and proposed to arise from the reaction of 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3-SH) and acetaldehyde. However, the evolution profile of cis-2-MPO during alcoholic fermentation (AF) and storage and its relationship with varietal thiols and acetaldehyde production were unknown. These aspects were investigated by fermenting Sauvignon blanc juice with J7 and/or VIN13 yeast strains and assessing the stability of cis-2-MPO during wine storage. Moderate to strong Pearson correlations verified similar evolution trends between acetaldehyde, 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate, and cis-2-MPO, with initial increases and a peak during the early to middle stages of AF before consecutive decreases until the end. Contrarily, 3-SH correlated moderately only at the end of AF. A consistent decrease observed for cis-2-MPO when spiked into Sauvignon blanc wine and assessed during 1-year storage revealed its general instability, but acetaldehyde addition (100 mg/L), pH 3.0, and storage at 4 °C all appeared to retain cis-2-MPO. These results have implications for wine aroma and the potential for cis-2-MPO to act as a sink (or source) for 3-SH in wine over time.

Abstract
Volatile thiols are very strong-smelling molecules that can impact the aroma of numerous beverages. Several thiols and thiol precursors have been reported previously in different plants used as raw material for beverages, some of which are fermented. We focused on thiols in beverages and their release mechanisms from precursors during processing. Volatile thiols in beverages can be classified aslow molecular weight volatile thiols (e.g. H2S, methanethiol) which impact the smell negatively, and volatile thiols with higher boiling points that contribute positively to the aroma profile. The first part of this review is devoted to volatile thiols, without considering small malodorous molecules. The second part deals with thiol precursors and the different release mechanisms induced by processing (e.g. extraction, roasting or fermentation) and by the growing methods (e.g. viticulture), which can impact on amounts of thiols and their precursors.

Abstract
3-Mercaptohexanol and 4-methyl-4-mercaptopentanone are volatile thiols with a low perception threshold and are found in relatively low concentrations in several types of wines, e.g. Sauvignon blanc. They contribute positively to the flavour of a wine when in their free form, but they can oxidise, especially in the presence of Cu2+ and sulfur residues originating from pesticide treatments on the grapes. This condensation reaction results in the formation of polysulfides, which during storage can cause the release of H2S: a compound known to give rise to off-flavour in wine. The formation of these polysulfides has been proposed to originate from cysteinyl and glutathionyl S-conjugate precursors, but they have not yet been characterised. In this work, a method using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry and online solid-phase extraction was designed and optimised for detection of these S-conjugates. The method allowed the detection of 21 suspected symmetrical and asymmetrical S-conjugates in thiol-supplemented aqueous solutions, of which 17 were also recovered in supplemented synthetic musts and wines. Moreover, the proposed method was used to investigate polysulfide formation upon addition of two different types of sulfur. Differences in formation of S-conjugates were evident in the synthetic samples: a higher relative abundance was observed upon addition of wettable sulfur compared to washed sulfur. For the commercial wines, differences in polysulfide formation were minor and merely related to the differences between the wines and not to the type of sulfur added.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae × Saccharomyces kudriavzevii hybrids are typically used for white wine fermentation because of their cryotolerance. One group of these hybrids presents a unique ability to release thiol varietal aroma products as well as excessive amounts of acetic acid under specific conditions, which is detrimental for wine organoleptic quality. The aim of this work is to better assess the effects of lipids, sugar concentrations and temperature on the production of acetic acid and thiols during wine fermentation. To this end, we used a Box–Behnken experimental design and response surface modeling on the production of acetic acid and thiols in S. cerevisiae × S. kudriavzevii hybrids from the Eg8 family during fermentation of a synthetic must. We showed that these hybrids produced lower levels of acetic acid when the initial lipid concentration was increased, whereas they produced greater levels when the initial sugar concentration was high. Moreover, we found that lipids had a positive impact on the final concentrations of 4-methyl-4-mercaptopentan-2-one and 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH), giving box tree and citrus flavors, respectively. The increase of 3MH was concomitant with a decrease of 3-mercaptohexyl acetate (3MHA) characterized by a passion fruit aroma, indicating that lipid addition reduces the rate of 3MH acetylation into 3MHA. These results highlight the key role of lipid management in acetic acid metabolism and thiol release by S. cerevisiae × S. kudriavzevii hybrids and underline its technological interest in alcoholic fermentation to avoid the overproduction of volatile acidity while favoring the release of volatile thiols.

Abstract
Reductive sulfurous off-odors are still one of the main reasons for rejecting wines by consumers. In 2008 at the International Wine Challenge in London, approximately 6% of the more than 10,000 wines presented were described as faulty. Twenty-eight percent were described as faulty because they presented “reduced characters” similar to those presented by “cork taint” and in nearly the same portion. Reductive off-odors are caused by low volatile sulfurous compounds. Their origin may be traced back to the metabolism of the microorganisms (yeasts and lactic acid bacteria) involved in the fermentation steps during wine making, often followed by chemical conversions. The main source of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are precursors from the sulfate assimilation pathway (SAP, sometimes named as the “sulfate reduction pathway” SRP), used by yeast to assimilate sulfur from the environment and incorporate it into the essential sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. Reductive off-odors became of increasing interest within the last few years, and the method to remove them by treatment with copper (II) salts (sulfate or citrate) is more and more questioned: The effectiveness is doubted, and after prolonged bottle storage, they reappear quite often. Numerous reports within the last few years and an ongoing flood of publications dealing with this matter reflect the importance of this problem. In a recent detailed review, almost all relevant aspects were discussed on a scientific data basis, and a “decision tree” was formulated to support winemakers handling this problem. Since we are dealing with a very complicated matter with a multitude of black spots still remaining, these advices can only be realized using specific equipment and special chemicals, not necessarily found in small wineries. The main problem in dealing with sulfurous compounds arises from the high variability of their reactivities. Sulfur is a metalloid with a large valence span across eight electron transformations from S (−II) up to S (+VI). This allows it to participate in an array of oxidation, reduction and disproportionation reactions, both abiotic and linked to microbial metabolism. In addition, sulfur is the element with the most allotropes and a high tendency to form chains and rings, with different stabilities of defined species and a high interconvertibility among each other. We suppose, there is simply a lack of knowledge of what is transferred during filling into bottles after fermentation and fining procedures. The treatment with copper (II) salts to remove sulfurous off-odors before filling rather increases instead of solving the problem. This paper picks up the abundant knowledge from recent literature and tries to add some aspects and observations, based on the assumption that the formation of polythionates, hitherto not taken into consideration, may explain some of the mystery of the re-appearance of reductive off-odors.

Abstract
The varietal thiols 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH), 3-mercaptohexyl acetate (3MHA), and 4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-one (4MMP) are key aroma compounds in wine due to the tropical notes they impart. They are released by yeast during alcoholic fermentation from different precursors. However, a large part of 3MH origin remains unknown. In this study, we focused on dipeptide forms arising from glutathione S-conjugates to 3MH and 4MMP. Using labelled tracers, we showed in spiked must the release of varietal thiols from 4 different compounds. We highlighted the interconversion between different forms of precursors under defined enological conditions. Cysteinyl-glycine S-conjugates are partially degraded into cysteine S-conjugates, contrary to γ-glutamyl-cysteine S-conjugates. Glutathione S-conjugate to 3MH can be partially degraded to γ-glutamyl-cysteine S-conjugate to 3MH. For the first time, all these labeled forms of precursors were found to release 3MH or 4MMP between 0.17 and 1% molar conversion yield. Two different yeasts were compared without any significant difference.

Abstract
Five co-located clones of Sauvignon blanc grapes were fermented under controlled conditions at laboratory-scale to investigate the impact of yeast strain, commercial enzyme, or nutrient addition on the concentrations of enantiomers of 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3-SH) and 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate (3-SHA) in resulting wines. The relationship of these enantiomers with the odorless 3-SH precursors present in diastereomeric forms in grape juice was also examined. Possible variations may have existed due to clone type, not only for the diastereomers of 3-SH precursors in juices but also for the enantiomers of 3-SH and 3-SHA in the resulting wines, although there was no obvious stereochemical relationship between precursors and free thiols. From a flavor enhancement perspective, the use of a commercial enzyme in the juice significantly enhanced 3-SH production for some clones. In contrast, less impact on the production of 3-SH and 3-SHA was seen as a result of yeast strain and nutrient regardless of clone type.

Abstract
Fermentation-derived volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are undesirable in wine and are often remediated in a process known as copper fining. In the present study, the addition of Cu(II) to model and real wine systems containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and thiols provided evidence for the generation of disulfides (disulfanes) and organic polysulfanes. Cu(II) fining of a white wine spiked with glutathione, H2S, and methanethiol (MeSH) resulted in the generation of MeSH-glutathione disulfide and trisulfane. In the present study, the mechanisms underlying the interaction of H2S and thiols with Cu(II) is discussed, and a prospective diagnostic test for releasing volatile sulfur compounds from their nonvolatile forms in wine is investigated. This test utilized a combination of reducing agents, metal chelators, and low-oxygen conditions to promote the release of H2S and MeSH, at levels above their reported sensory thresholds, from red and white wines that were otherwise free of sulfidic off-odors at the time of addition.
