Comparison between sensory evaluation and SPME GC-MS in Brazilian's sparkling wines

Looking for understand which is the profile aromatic's complexity in Brazilian's sparkling wines, this study's objective was to evaluate 5 samples of commercial sparkling wines by sensory analysis, and also by a gas chromatography (GC), and mass spectrometry (MS). At the sensory analysis, in Brazil's panel, from a total of 5 sparkling samples, were made 155 determinations of aromas found at wines, with 31 distinct descriptors. The same process was realized at the Italian's panel, and at this time we found 188 determinations of aromas from all the 5 sparkling's samples, with 31 distinct descriptors. For the volatile compounds analysis the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) identified 26 compounds, the most of them have a fruity characteristic. This study demonstrated the Brazilian's sparkling wines have a profile fruity and floral, with maturation notes

Influence of yeasts of the genus Saccharomyces and not Saccharomyces in elaboration of white wines

Traditionally the Serra Gaúcha region, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, is known as a barn productor of excellent quality wines. The aromatic complexity of wine in general, and white wine in particular, is what is essential to satisfy an increasingly demanding consumer. Among the most used techniques to achieve this purpose is the addition of yeasts of different genres, thus providing a range of aromatic characteristics that are accentuated in it. In this sense, the objective of this work was to evaluate the use of different strains of yeasts in white wines of Riesling Italic variety, made from grapes grown in the Serra Gaúcha region, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Based on the results, it was possible to observe that there were no significant differences between the treatments in relation to the variables pH, total acidity and alcoholic degree. However, with respect to the fermentation yield, T3 was the treatment that obtained the best performance, reaching the ideal density (below 1000 g.cm3) in the course of 6 to 7 days, followed by treatments T1 (Saccharomyces cerevisae) and T5 (Levulia pulcherrima) (7 to 8 days), with treatments T2 (Saccharomyces cerevisaecerevisae) and T4 (Torulaspora delbrueckii), which had the lowest performance (9 to 10 days). The T4 treatment was also the one that presented a higher amount of residual sugars, which proves the less activity of this yeast in more alcoholic means. All the yeasts used have a low production of volatile acidity, but the lowest concentration was Saccharomyces cerevisae cerevisae, used in treatment T2 (0.1 gL−1), and the other treatments presented higher concentrations (0, 4 to 0.5 gL−1), although it is still within the parameters considered ideal for obtaining quality white wines. T2 was also the treatment with lower concentrations of glycerol (5.1 g.L−1). This compound is mainly formed by glyceropyruvic fermentation through the metabolism of yeasts at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation, usually being produced by the first 50 grams of fermented sugars, which may indicate a greater activity of this yeast in this fermentation period. In general, we can say that all the yeasts used have the potential to produce quality white wines, since they had good fermentation yields, satisfactory production of alcohol and glycerol, and low production of volatile acidity

Calagem, adubação e estado nutricional em videiras.

A área cultivada com videira no Brasil e, especialmente, no Sul do país, como no Rio Grande do Sul (RS) e Santa Catarina (Se), tem aumentado nos últimos anos. Porém, na maioria dos casos os solos são ácidos e possuem baixa fertilidade natural. Por isso, torna- se necessário, quando diagnosticada a necessidade, a aplicação de corretivos da acidez do solo e adubações. Mas, estas práticas devem ser realizadas seguindo as recomendações técnicas oficiais recomendadas para a cultura da videira, pois normalmente afetam a produção e qualidade da uva, bem como do mosto e de seus subprodutos, como o vinho, sucos e espumantes. Considerando esta problemática, no presente capítulo serão apresentadas informações técnicas sobre calagem, adubações e composição nutricional de videiras. Além disso, serão apresentados resultados de pesquisa mais recentes sobre a dinâmica de nutrientes em solos de vinhedos, bem como o impacto de nutrientes sobre as características físicas e químicas do vinho, temática ainda pouco estudada no Brasil. Com todas as informações esperamos contribuir para um sistema de produção vitivinícola mais produtivo, com uvas e seus subprodutos com melhor qualidade requisitada pelo consumidor, mas com baixo potencial de risco ambienta I

Características analíticas dos vinhos Chardonnay do Rio Grande do Sul.

Atualmente observa-se uma procura acentuada por vinhos varietais. Entre as cultivares de videira mais utilizada na produção de vinho branco varietal no Rio Grande do Sul, destaca-se a cv. Chardonnay. A sua aptidão enológica é para produção de vinho jovem e de médio envelhecimento. Devido a isso e a pouca disponibilidade de informações, realizou-se o presente trabalho, com o objetivo de caracterizá-lo analiticamente

Características analíticas dos vinhos Riesling Itálico da Serra Gaúcha.

A Serra Gaúcha, reqrao vitícola mais importante do Brasil, apresenta aptidão enológica para a produção de vinhos brancos. Entre as cultivares de videira mais utilizada na produção de vinho brancofino varietal na Serra Gaúcha, destaca-se a cv. Riesling Itálico

Avaliação da influência da micro-oxigenação na fase de envelhecimento em vinhos Cabernet Sauvignon da Serra Gaúcha.

o uso da técnica de micro-oxigenação em vinhos da Serra Gaúcha carece de informações técnicocientíficas que ofereçam resultados e/ou subsídios que possibilitem empregá-Ia de forma eficaz na elaboração dos vinhos

O mercado imobiliário como revelador das preferências pelos atributos espaciais: uma análise do impacto da criminalidade urbana no preço de apartamentos em Belo Horizonte The real estate market as a betrayer of spatial attributes preferences: an analysis of criminality impact on apartment prices in Belo Horizonte

O artigo faz uma abordagem alternativa utilizando como estudo a economia urbana heterodoxa a qual busca explicar de que modo surge a regularidade da configuração residencial urbana a partir da ação dos indivíduos no mercado. Utiliza-se o modelo de preços hedônicos para estimar o custo da violência - homicídios e roubos a transeuntes - implícito no preço dos imóveis residenciais, a partir de uma amostra com imóveis transacionados em Belo Horizonte. Duas regressões foram rodadas para que pudessem captar a disposição a pagar dos indivíduos para residirem em regiões de maior segurança. Os resultados demonstram que há relação entre redução nas taxas de criminalidade e valorização dos imóveis em algumas regiões de Belo Horizonte.<br>This article provides an alternative approach, using the heterodox urban economy as a study object. Such economy seeks to explain how there is the regularity of the urban residential setting from the action of individuals in the market. The hedonic price model is used to esteem the implicit violence costs (e.g. homicides and robberies to pedestrians) in housing prices, from a sample of properties transacted in Belo Horizonte. Two regressions that could capture the willingness of individuals to pay for living in regions with greater security were shot. The results show that there is a relationship between the reduction in crime rates and valuation of properties in some Belo Horizonte regions
