ABSTRACT: Bacteria encapsulation to develop malolactic fermentation emerges as a

23

biotechnological strategy that provides significant advantages over the use of free cells.

24

Two encapsulation methods have been proposed embedding Oenococcus oeni, i)

25

interpenetrated polymer networks of silica and Ca-alginate and ii) Ca-alginate capsules

26

coated with hydrolyzed 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (hAPTES). Based on our results,

27

only the first method was suitable for bacteria encapsulation. The optimized silica-

28

alginate capsules exhibited a negligible bacteria release and an increase of 328% and

29

65% in L-malic acid consumption and mechanical robustness, respectively, compared to

30

untreated alginate capsules. Moreover, studies of capsule stability at different pH and

31

ethanol concentrations in water solutions, and in wine indicated a better behavior of

32

silica-alginate capsules than untreated ones. The inclusion of silicates and colloidal

33

silica in alginate capsules containing O. oeni improved markedly their capacity to

34

deplete the levels of L-malic acid in red wines, and their mechanical robustness and

35

stability.

INTRODUCTION

46

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) in wines is an essential step to improve the

47

quality of red wines. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and, especially Oenococcus oeni, are

48

involved in the transformation of L-malic acid with final production of lactic acid, and

49

significantly influence the aromatic complexity of wine.1,2 LAB immobilization has

50

recently received some attention in winemaking because it offers several interesting

51

advantages over the use of free cells. Some of them are the following: (i)

52

immobilization support can improve bacteria protection against adverse conditions of

53

MLF (e.g. extreme pH, high ethanol concentration, presence of inhibitory substances,

54

and low fermentation temperature); (ii) it allows continuous fermentative processes; (iii)

55

it opens the way to bacteria reutilization; (iv) it enhances productivity due to inoculation

56

of higher bacteria concentration; and (v) it allows the conduction of MLF with selected

57

immobilized bacteria.3–5 Despite the fact that the process of bacterial encapsulation

58

increases the cost of the use of bacteria, the reutilization of the immobilized bacteria in

59

repeated batches and the possibility of design continuous processes have a positive

60

impact on the economic feasibility of MLF of red wine.

61

Bacteria immobilization involves physical confinement of cells to a region of

62

space, preserving their metabolic activity. Several biotechnological techniques have

63

been developed for cell immobilization, such as (i) immobilization on the surface of a

64

matrix by ionic, covalent, and/or hydrogen bond interactions; (ii) encapsulation into a

65

porous matrix; (iii) cell aggregation with cross-linking reactions or by flocculation; and

66

(iv) cell entrapment into organic or microporous synthetic membranes.6–8 Among these

67

techniques, cell encapsulation into matrix has received a special attention due to its

68

simplicity, low cost, and mild working conditions.9,10 A suitable polymeric material for

69

bacteria encapsulation must be able to retain cells and maintain cell viability, and be 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

70

permeable to gas, nutrients, and metabolites.8 Natural materials (such as alginate,

71

carrageenan, chitosan, agarose, pectin, gelatin, and chitin) have been widely applied for

72

cell encapsulation because they exhibit these properties and they have low cost and do

73

not generally present cell toxic impurities coming from chemical reactions.9 Among

74

these materials, alginate is the most common polymer used for cell10–14 and enzyme15–17

75

encapsulation.

76

Alginate is an ionic polymer composed of 1,4-linked β-D-mannuronic acid and

77

α-L-guluronic acid residues in different sequences.18 Divalent cations, mainly Ca2+ and

78

Ba2+, added to alginate solutions may lead to cross-linking of alginate molecules

79

forming hydrogels compatible with the survival of entrapped cells.19 However, alginate

80

gels are sensitive to chelating molecules commonly existing in food, such as citrates,

81

phosphates, and lactates, and other anti-gelling cations such as Na+ and Mg2+, reducing

82

their chemical stability.18 Moreover, low mechanical robustness of Ca-alginate gels

83

discourages their implementation for alcohol beverages production.

84

Diverse strategies have been explored to resolve disadvantages of the application

85

of alginate gel for cell entrapment. Either incorporation of other polymers and/or fillers

86

into alginate structure gel or application of a coating layer to alginate gel have been

87

performed to enhance its mechanical and chemical stability, to increase its

88

biocompatibility, and to control cell retention.20 Recently, improvement of alginate gel

89

stability with silica has been reported by various authors using sol-gel process.21–25 Sol-

90

gel process makes possible to design silica-alginate biocomposites, that have the

91

advantages of the organic polymers (biocompatibility, flexibility, and elasticity) and the

92

inorganic silica component (rigidity, chemical resistance, and thermal stability).23,26 Sol-

93

gel process led by alkoxide precursors (Si(OR)4) involves formation of silicic acid

94

(SiOH4) upon water hydrolysis with liberation of by-product alcohol (R-OH). Then, 4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

95

formation of siloxane (Si-O-Si) takes place between silanol groups (Si-OH) of two

96

molecules. Finally, covalent silica network is obtained by polycondensation of silanols

97

and siloxanes.27,28 Biocompatibility of alkoxide route may be compromised by the

98

presence of by-product alcohol. An alternative aqueous route with sodium silicate and

99

colloidal silica has been proposed allowing the formation of silica gel at neutral pH and

100

room temperature, without generation of alcohol as by-product and therefore

101

eliminating the risk of cell toxicity.27

102

Silica-alginate composites for cell encapsulation have been prepared through

103

sol-gel process by polycondensation of silica precursors, ionic cross-linking by

104

complexation reaction between carboxyl groups of alginate and divalent cations, and

105

intermolecular interaction of silanol/silica with alginate based on hydrogen link.29

106

Lately, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) has been proposed to form silica-coated

107

alginate composites via electrostatic interaction between carboxyl groups of alginate

108

from the surface of capsules and amino groups of APTES

109

structure.31 Recently, alginate-silica encapsulated Oenococcus oeni have been reported

110

to perform MLF in wine.24,25 Alginate capsules were first coated with ethanol/water

111

solution of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and then with methyltriethoxylsilane (MTES) in

112

gas phase. MTES-TEOS-alginate capsules loaded with bacteria showed similar

113

metabolic activity, and better bacteria leakage reduction and mechanical resistance than

114

untreated ones.24 These capsules allowed the development of MLF in wines with

115

lysozyme added to eliminate wild LAB and their potential spoilage.25

116

Unlike previous works24,25, this study explores two new approaches for O. oeni

117

immobilization into silica-alginate biocomposites using aqueous routes based on (i) an

118

interpenetrated polymer networks of silica and Ca-alginate and (ii) a coating for Ca-

119

alginate capsules with APTES. To our knowledge, there has been no work undertaken 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

120

to apply these strategies for LAB immobilization into silica-alginate capsules and their

121

implementation in MLF. The aim of this work was to optimize the conditions of

122

encapsulation of O. oeni into both silica-alginate capsules to perform MLF.

123

Fermentation behavior of encapsulated O. oeni, mechanical robustness and ability to

124

retain bacteria of silica-alginate capsules were evaluated. Finally, stability of silica-

125

alginate capsules at different pH and ethanol concentration in water solutions and in red

126

wine was also analyzed.
