Phenotypical, Sanitary and Ampelometric Variability within the Population of cv. Plavac Mali (Vitis vinifera L.)

One hundred and sixty individual vines representative of the entire growing region for cv. Plavac Mali (Middle and Southern Dalmatia) were ampelographically analyzed in situ during a period of four years. High phenotypical variability was determined in the maturity period (35.6% “early maturity” vs. 11.9% “late maturity”), colouring (>50% of vines had bunches that were not coloured completely) and density of bunches, and degree of firmness of flesh and size of the berries. In a sample of 36 vines harvested in 2005 high variability was determined in: parameters of fertility, sugar content (range 66- 139°Oe), and the size parameters of bunches. The samples were tested for the presence of four viruses by ELISA test (Grapevine Fanleaf Virus (GFLV), Arabis Mosaic Virus (ArMV), Grapevine Leafroll associated Virus 1 and 3 (GLRaV-1 and GLRaV-3). 91% of all analyzed samples tested positive for GLRaV-3, while an infection with the ArMV (6%) was the least common. Only 5% of genotypes resulted as negative in virus testing. The results of the research point to a significant degree of intra cultivar genetical variability and the necessity of further individual clonal selection

Study of Dynamics of Polyphenol Extraction During Traditional and Advanced Maceration Processes of the Babić Grape Variety

The influence of different maceration techniques on the dynamics of polyphenol extraction during the maceration of the autochthonous Croatian grape Babić has been investigated. The process of wine production by maceration in traditional procedure and by maceration with advanced technique has been compared. During maceration, the dynamics of extraction of total anthocyanins, total phenols, low-molecular proanthocyanidins and high-molecular proanthocyanidins was determined. Mathematical models are proposed for each above mentioned and determined parameter. The models present the values under observation depending on treatment – traditional or modern. Time expressed in days is the input variable for both monitored models. Presented models indicate a significant positive correlation and strongly sustain the concept that the duration and procedure of maceration have considerable influence on the measured variables (R=0.83–0.98)

Comparative Study of the Total Acidity Determination in Wine by Potentiometric and Volumetric Titration

Total acidity was determined in thirty-seven samples of Croatian red, white and rosé wines by potentiometric titration. In order to find the effect of the corresponding rate of the automatic titrant added, several procedures were employed. For different rates of titration, the aberrances were found from 0.1 to 0.4 g L–1 for some wines. The value of the total acid content in wine determined by the automatic potentiometric titration method was compared to that obtained by the conventional volumetric titration method. The ANOVA and cluster analysis (CA) were applied to detect possible resemblance. The results of total acidity depended on the methods used. However, a good correlation between the results by these methods was found

Нанокомпозити на бази термопластичног линеарног поли(уретан-силоксан)а и органоглине: утицај састава на својства

Thermoplastic poly(urethane-siloxane)/organoclay nanocomposites (TPU NCs) with different hard segment content (20–55 wt. %) were prepared by in situ polymerization in the presence of organically modified montmorillonite as a nanofiller (Cloisite 30B; 1 wt. %). Hydroxyl-terminated ethoxypropyl- poly(dimethylsiloxane) was used as soft segment, while 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate and 1,4-butanediol were the hard segment components. The study of the influence of the hard segment content on the functional properties of TPU NCs was performed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic mechanical thermal analyses (DMTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), water contact angle and water absorption tests. The results revealed that TPU NCs with the increasing hard segment content exhibit higher values of degree of microphase separation, melting temperature of the hard segments, degree of crystallinity, storage modulus (except for TPU NC-55), but lower thermal stability and hydrophobicity. TPU NC films were hydrophobic and their free surface energy was in the range from 17.7 to 24.9 mJ m-2. This work highlights how the composition of TPU NCs would affect their functional properties and provide an additional composition intended for designing advanced TPU NC materials for special biomedical applications.Термопластични поли(уретан-силоксан)/органоглина нанокомпозити (TPU NCs) са различитим садржајем тврдих сегмената (20–55 теж. %) припремљени су in situ полимеризацијом у присуству органски модификованог монтморилонита као нанопуниoца (Cloisite 30B; 1 теж. %). Као меки сегмент коришћен је хидроксиетоксипропил терминирани поли(диметилсилоксан), а као компоненте тврдог сегмента коршћени су 4,4'- -метилендифенилдиизоцијанат и 1,4-бутандиол. Проучавање утицаја садржаја тврдог сегмента на функционална својства TPU NCs је испитивано FTIR спектроскопијом, дифракцијом X-зрака (XRD), микроскопијом атомских сила (AFM), скенирајућом електронском микроскопијом (SEM), динамичко механичко термичком анализом (DMTA), диференцијално скенирајућом калориметријом (DSC), термогравиметријском анализом (TGA), тестовима одређивања контактног угла са водом и апсорпције воде. Резултати су показали да TPU NCs са већим садржајем тврдих сегмената показују веће вредности степена микрофазне сепарације, температуре топљења тврдих сегмената, степена кристалиничности, модула сачуване енергије (осим за TPU NC-55), али нижу термичку стабилност и хидрофобност. TPU NC филмови су били хидрофобни и њихова површинска енергија је била у опсегу од 17,7 до 24,9 mJ m-2. Овај рад истиче како би се променом састава у TPU NCs подешавала функционална својства и обезбедило додатно подешавање састава за дизајнирање напредних TPU NC материјала за специјалне биомедицинске примене

PHYSIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SPARKLING WINE CV. PINOT GRIS PRODUCED BY SECONDARY ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION IN BOTTLE

U ovome radu prikazane su osnovne vinogradarske i enološke karakteristike cv. Pinot sivi iz vinogorja Imotski. Proces proizvodnje pjenušavoga vina proveden je prema konvencionalnoj metodi sekundarne alkoholne fermentacije u boci. Stupanj zrelosti grožđa u trenutku berbe bio je niži u odnosu na uobičajenu praksu za proizvodnju mirnih vina. Osnovno vino bilo je suho (šećer 1,5 g/L), sadržaj stvarnog alkohola bio je 11,6 vol % i ukupna kiselost 7,1 g/L (pH 3,17). Procesom re-fermentacije stvarni se alkohol povisio za 0,9 vol. %, a nastali ugljični dioksid stvorio je pritisak od 5 bara. Metodom plinske kromatografije identificirano i kvantificirano je osam hlapljivih ″fermentativnih″ komponenti arome pjenušavoga vina. Na osnovi dobivenih rezultata, može se utvrditi da u vinogorju Imotski postoje prikladni klimatski uvjeti za proizvodnju pjenušavih vina.The eessential viticultural and oenological characteristics of cv. Pinot gris originated from viticultural area of Imotski were investigated. The sparkling wine was produced by the conventional method of secondary alcoholic fermentation in bottle. The degree of grape maturation at the harvest time was lower compared to the common practices of still wine production. The base wine was dry (sugar 1.5 g/L), content of actual alcohol was 11.6 vol. % and total acidity 7.1 g/L (pH 3.17). Re-fermentation process induced higher level of alcohol by 0.9 vol. % and carbon dioxide formed of five bars pressure. Eight volatile “fermentative” aroma compounds of sparkling wine were determined and quantified by using method of gas chromatography. According to the showed results it could be considered that climatic conditions in viticultural area of Imotski are suitable for sparkling wine production

Initial weight loss after restrictive bariatric procedures may predict mid-term weight maintenance: results from a 12-month pilot trial

Background: Bariatric procedures are effective options for weight loss (WL) in the morbidly obese. However, some patients fail to lose any weight after bariatric surgery, and mid-term weight maintenance is variable. The aim of this study was to investigate whether initial WL could predict mid-term weight maintenance. ----- Methods: Eighty patients were enrolled, of whom 44 were treated with the BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB), 21 with laparoscopic adjustable gastric lap-banding (LAGB), and 15 with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Percentage of body WL and percentage of excess weight loss (EWL) were calculated at baseline and after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Successful WL was defined as EWL >20% for patients treated with BIB and >50% for patients treated with LAGB and SG. ----- Results: Success in the 6th and 12th month was achieved in 80% and 58% of patients in the BIB group, 33% and 40% in the LAGB group, and 60% and 73% in the LSG group. In the BIB group, WL in the 1st month correlated positively with WL at the 6th and 12th month, and an initial WL >6.5% best predicted success (sensitivity 50%, specificity 80%). A similar association was observed in the LAGB group at the 6th and 12th month and an initial WL >9.4% best predicted success (sensitivity 90.0%, specificity 81.2%). In patients treated with LSG, WL in the 3rd month correlated positively with EWL at the 6th and 12th month, with a cutoff value of 17% (sensitivity 66.7%, specificity 100%). ----- Conclusions: WL in the 1st month in patients treated with BIB and LAGB and WL in the 3rd month in patients treated with LSG could be used as a prognostic factor to predict mid-term weight maintenance
