Influence of Grape Polysaccharide Extracts on the Phenolic Compounds and Color Characteristics of Different Red Wines

Polysaccharides have an important role in the technological and sensory characteristics of wines. The aim of this work was to study the effects of the addition of four polysaccharide extracts obtained from grape products and byproducts to red wines during storage for 2 months on their phenolic composition and color. The four extracts rich in polysaccharides were obtained from grape must, white grape pomace, red grape marc, and red wine, and they were compared with a commercial inactivated yeast. These products were studied in three wines selected for their highest astringency and acidity characteristics. The highest differences were found in the red wines with high initial phenolic concentrations, which reduced their values. The addition of polysaccharide extracts from grape pomace or marc, must, or yeast can mainly be interesting in wines with high phenolic content since they may be useful to modulate the astringency of red wines. This is the first work that studies the effect of polysaccharide extracts obtained from grape byproducts in red wines, showing great possibilities of these products.
