3. Chkaiban L., Boton<strong>di</strong> R., Bellincontro A., De Santis D., Kefalas P., Mencarelli F. (2007) Influenceof Postharvest Water stress on lipoxygenase and alcohol dehydrogenase activities, andon the composition of some volatile compounds of Gewurztraminer grapes dehydrated undercontrolled and uncontrolled thermohygrometric con<strong>di</strong>tions. Australian Journal of Grape andWine Research 13: 142-149.Gewürztraminer grapes with a sugar content of around 212 g/L (21.7°Brix) were dried at 17°C, 40% relative humi<strong>di</strong>tyand 1.5 m/sec air flow in a 300 L thermo-con<strong>di</strong>tioned tunnel. Control grapes were dried tra<strong>di</strong>tionally in awindow ventilated room, under uncontrolled environmental con<strong>di</strong>tions varying with outside climate. Tunneldriedgrapes reached the desired sugar concentration (305 g/L, 29.5°Brix) in 17 days, loosing 36% of theirweight. Control grapes lost only 22% of their weight and grey mould developed in several bunches at the lastsampling. Titratable aci<strong>di</strong>ty decreased for tunnel-dried and control grapes from 6.5 g/L to 4 g/L and 5 g/L, respectively.Lipoxygenase (LOX) activity declined in both samples from 120 to 90 U/mg protein dw, with a subsequentsignificant increase after 20% weight loss in tunnel-treated grapes while the control grapes showed asmall peak (150 U/mg protein dw) at 13% weight loss. Six carbon compound evolution showed a loose correlationwith LOX activity. Alcohol dehydrogenase specific activity and the concentrations of ethanol and of acetaldehydeplus ethyl acetate showed fluctuating patterns of change, with the evolution of these three variablesshowing similarity, particularly evident in the tunnel-dried grapes. Carotenoids declined significantly, to increaseslightly at the end of the experiment in both samples, with the decline more rapid in the control grapes. Tra<strong>di</strong>tional,uncontrolled con<strong>di</strong>tions, <strong>di</strong>d not permit constant dehydration, and provoked a rapid stress to the berries(10% of weight loss). Controlled con<strong>di</strong>tions permitted uniform dehydration, postponed water stress, giving ahigher quality product without loss of berries.4. Boton<strong>di</strong> R., Antelmi G., Frangipane M.T., Bellincontro A., Forniti R., Tiberi D., Mencarelli F.(2008) Influenza della temperatura <strong>di</strong> appassimento sulla qualità <strong>di</strong> uve varietàMontepulciano. L’Enologo 9: 87-92.L’obiettivo del nostro lavoro è stato quello <strong>di</strong> in<strong>di</strong>viduare la temperatura più idonea per l’appassimento <strong>di</strong> uverosse var. Montepulciano per la produzione <strong>di</strong> vino passito. La varietà utilizzata per questo stu<strong>di</strong>o è stata ilMontepulciano d'Abruzzo. L’ appassimento a cui è stata sottoposta l’uva è avvenuto in ambiente naturalecontrollato con l’uso <strong>di</strong> celle con<strong>di</strong>zionate dal punto <strong>di</strong> vista termoigrometrico, a due <strong>di</strong>verse con<strong>di</strong>zioni: tesi1:T=10 °C, RH=45-50% velocità dell’aria 1.5 m/s; tesi2: T=20 °C, RH=45-50% velocità dell’aria 1.2 m/s.La prova è terminata quando il calo peso ha raggiunto valori attorno al 40%. Sulle uve prelevate sono stateeffettuate le seguenti analisi: calo peso; contenuto in soli<strong>di</strong> solubili; concentrazione degli aci<strong>di</strong> malico, acetico,citrico, piruvico, gluconico e della glicerina; antociani e polifenoli totali.I risultati ottenuti fanno pre<strong>di</strong>ligere tra le due tesi quella dove le uve sono state mantenute, durantel’appassimento, ad una temperatura <strong>di</strong> 10°C. A questa temperatura si ottengono uve migliori dal punto <strong>di</strong> vistatecnologico grazie soprattutto alla maggiore ricchezza in antociani e in aci<strong>di</strong> fenolici che svolgono la funzione <strong>di</strong>fissanti del colore e che permettono <strong>di</strong> ottenere un vino passito con caratteristiche più idonee alla tipologia <strong>di</strong>questi vini.SISTAL - SOCIETA’ ITALIANA DI SCIENZE E TECNOLOGIE ALIMENTARIDipartimento <strong>di</strong> Scienze e Tecnologie Agroalimentari, Università degli Stu<strong>di</strong> della TusciaVia San Camillo de Lellis, 01100 ViterboTel.: 0761- 35 74 94/7 , Fax: 0761- 35 74 98, e-mail: mmoresi@unitus.it482
