Abstract
Pre-harvest application of benzothiadiazole (BTH) improves wine grape quality by modulating lipoxygenase (LOX)-derived volatile compounds, a hallmark aroma profile in ‘Chardonnay’ grapes (Vitis vinifera L.). This study elucidates the impact of whole-plant BTH spraying on LOX metabolite accumulation and relative expression in ‘Chardonnay’ grapes and their possible molecular mechanisms. Our findings demonstrate that BTH treatment significantly increases the concentration of reducing sugars, soluble solids, 100-berry weight, pH, total phenols, and flavonoids in grapes, while reducing titratable acid, skin/berry ratio, and fatty acid concentration. Additionally, the BTH treatment increased the concentration of C6/C9, aromatic, and volatile norisoprenoid compounds, but decreased terpenoid and branched chain compounds. Relative expression analysis revealed that BTH up-regulated key LOX pathway genes and promoted the conversion of C6 aldehyde to C6 alcohol. The results presented in this study may provide insights into BTH’s role in the LOX metabolism regulation and its dual benefits in optimizing grape quality through improved sugar-acid balance and elevated phenols and flavonoids in ‘Chardonnay’ grapes.
期刊介绍:
The journal European Food Research and Technology publishes state-of-the-art research papers and review articles on fundamental and applied food research. The journal''s mission is the fast publication of high quality papers on front-line research, newest techniques and on developing trends in the following sections:
-chemistry and biochemistry-
technology and molecular biotechnology-
nutritional chemistry and toxicology-
analytical and sensory methodologies-
food physics.
Out of the scope of the journal are:
- contributions which are not of international interest or do not have a substantial impact on food sciences,
- submissions which comprise merely data collections, based on the use of routine analytical or bacteriological methods,
- contributions reporting biological or functional effects without profound chemical and/or physical structure characterization of the compound(s) under research.
