The mycoflora of healthy grapes (i.e. without visible symptoms of rot) for wine production in Portuguese wine-making regions was assessed and its potential for ochratoxin A (OTA) production evaluated. The OTA content of grapes was also determined.
A total of 386 fungal strains were isolated by plating methods. The most frequent genera found in grapes were non-ochratoxigenic species: Cladosporium (28%), Penicillium (24%), Botrytis (13%) and Aspergillus (9%). Two OTA-producing strains were isolated, belonging to the species Aspergillus carbonarius and Aspergillus ochraceus. OTA was detected in three of four grape samples, up to 116 ng l(-1).
OTA is being produced in healthy berries by Aspergillus species, namely A. carbonarius, at levels below the maximum recommended limit of 2,000 ng l(-1) in wine.
The OTA concentration detected in healthy Portuguese grapes does not represent a risk to wine regarding the legal limit established.
评估葡萄牙葡萄酒产区用于酿酒的健康葡萄(即无可见腐烂症状)的真菌菌群,并评估其产生赭曲霉毒素A(OTA)的可能性。还测定了葡萄中的OTA含量。
通过平板接种法共分离出386株真菌菌株。葡萄中最常见的属为非产赭曲霉毒素的物种:枝孢属(28%)、青霉属(24%)、葡萄孢属(13%)和曲霉属(9%)。分离出两株产OTA的菌株,分别属于黑曲霉和赭曲霉。在四个葡萄样品中的三个中检测到了OTA,含量高达116 ng l(-1)。
健康葡萄果实中存在曲霉属真菌(即黑曲霉)产生OTA的情况,其含量低于葡萄酒中2000 ng l(-1)的最大推荐限量。
在葡萄牙健康葡萄中检测到的OTA浓度,就既定法律限值而言,对葡萄酒不构成风险。
