Evaluation of grape stems and grape stem extracts for sulfur dioxide replacement during grape wine production.

ABSTRACT: Sulfur dioxide (SO₂), the main preservative in wine, may affect the sensory properties of the wines, as well as cause allergic reactions and headaches in sensitive people. The aim of this work was to evaluate the replacement of SO₂ in Tempranillo wines with Mazuelo grape stem products. Five Tempranillo red wines were elaborated: positive control (60 mg/L SO₂); negative control with no preservatives; Mazuelo extract (200 mg/L); Mazuelo extract combined with SO₂ (100 mg/L + 20 mg/L); and Mazuelo stem (400 mg/L). The oenological parameters, antioxidant capacity, total phenolic (TP), total flavonoids (TF) and total anthocyanins (TA) contents were determined. Additionally, individual phenols were analyzed by HPLC-DAD-FLD. The spectrophotometric analys
