Macromolecules and Secondary Metabolites of Grapevine and Wine (English edition)

Macromolecules and Secondary Metabolites of Grapevine and Wine is a fundamental scientific work dedicated to the study of macromolecules and the secondary metabolites in the vine and the wine, published following the first international Macrowine 2006 symposium, organized at Reims under the auspices of the University of Reims, the Europol'Agro Institute, and theInternational Organisation of Vine and WineO.I.V.).

This book brings together 61 contributions in the form of short articles or mini-reviews, derived from 82 communications oral and poster presentations presented during the conference. It is intended for researchers, , Oenologists, , agricultural engineers and Students engaged in vine sciences, oenology, and grape processing.

The book is divided into four main sections:

Section 1: Fruit development, biotic and abiotic stress, defense mechanisms – 18 articles analyze the responses of the vine to environmental and pathogenic aggressions, in connection with the genomics, the proteomics and the defense mechanisms.

Section 2: Proteins, glycoproteins, and polysaccharides – 12 articles detail the role of these macromolecules in the texture, the wine stabilization and the training of foams, particularly in Champagne.

Section 3: Polyphenolic compounds, aromas, and secondary metabolites - 18 articles explore the polyphenols, the volatile compounds, the aromatic precursors, and their role in theSensory identity wine.

Section 4: Physicochemical and oenological aspects – 13 articles delve into topics such as the co-pigmentation, the troubles, the molecular interactions, and the bubbles in sparkling wines.

Through these contributions, the work provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary understanding of the key compounds that influence the quality, the stability and the typicity of wines, from the vine to the bottle. A essential reference to understand the current scientific issues surrounding the Vinification, from the Biochemistry of the vine and the oenological innovations.
