ANALYTICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTROL TECHNIQUES ANALYSES COMMON TO ALL MONOGRAPHS

WARNING : This resolution amends the following resolutions :

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

IN VIEW OF the Article 2, paragraph 2 b) iv of the Agreement of 3 April 2001 establishing the International Organisation of Vine and Wine,

AT THE PROPOSAL of the “Microbiology” Expert group,

CONSIDERING the need to update the analytical and microbiological control techniques,

DECIDES to reorganise and modify paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of file COEI-2-CONBAC in the International Oenological Codex as follows (file COEI-2-CONBAC contains many pages, however just the first 7 pages appear in this draft resolution because the modifications to be made only concern these first 7 pages of the file):

1.      Preliminary rehydration of yeasts (Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces): ADY (Active Dry Yeasts), AFY (Active Frozen Yeasts), COY (Compressed Yeasts), CRY (Cream Yeast Preparations), ENY (Encapsulated [beads] or Immobilised Yeasts), “levain de tirage” (yeast starter for tirage)

Weigh approx. 10 g of the preparation under sterile conditions (note the exact weight for final calculation of the concentation).

Adjust to 100 mL with sterile peptone saline water* under sterile conditions at 20-37 °C or according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Slowly homogenise using a rod, a stomacher technique or a magnetic stirrer for 5 min.

Stop stirring and allow to stand for 20 min at room temperature of between 20-30 °C.

Homogenise again at room temperature for 5 min.

Under sterile conditions, prepare serial decimal dilutions in water or sterile peptone saline water* and proceed with microbiological controls on the homogenised stock solution.

In the case of “levains de tirage” used for sparkling wines, sample 1 mL under sterile conditions, prepare serial decimal dilutions in water or sterile peptone saline water* and proceed with microbiological controls on the homogenised stock solution

* Peptone salt solution: bacteriological peptone 1 g/L, sodium chloride 8.5 g/L, final pH 7.0

2.      Preliminary rehydration of preparations of lactic acid bacteria

Weigh approx. 10 g of preparation of lactic acid bacteria under sterile conditions (note the exact weight for final calculation of the concentation).

Adjust to 100 mL with sterile peptone saline water* under sterile conditions (25°C).

Homogenise using a magnetic stirrer or a stomacher technique for 5 min.

Stop stirring and allow to stand for 20 min at room temperature of between 20-30 °C.

Homogenise again at room temperature for 5 min.

Under sterile conditions, prepare serial decimal dilutions using water or sterile peptone saline water* and proceed with microbiological controls.

* Peptone salt solution: bacteriological peptone 1 g/L, sodium chloride 8.5 g/L, final pH 7.0

3.      Microbiological control of other products in the International Oenological Codex

(products for which the control of yeasts, bacteria and/or moulds is requested)

Weigh approx. 10 g of the oenological product to control under sterile conditions (note the exact weight for final calculation of the concentration).

Adjust to 100 mL with sterile peptone saline water* under sterile conditions.

Homogenise using a magnetic stirrer or a stomacher technique for 5 min.

Under sterile conditions, prepare serial decimal dilutions in water or sterile peptone saline water* and proceed with microbiological controls.

* Peptone salt solution: bacteriological peptone 1 g/L, sodium chloride 8.5 g/L, final pH 7.0

4.      Enumeration of total yeasts

q.s. 1000 mL

Just after preparation, autoclave the medium at 120 °C for 20 min.

In case of prolonged incubation time, add chloramphenicol to a 100 mg/L final concentration to prevent bacterial growth.

After inoculation with the appropriate dilutions of the sample in order to reach 30-300 colonies, incubate the dishes at 25-30°C under aerobic conditions for 48 to 72 hours.

Count the number of CFU in the dishes containing 30-300 colonies and refer to the weight of the dry matter.

In addition to the media proposed, any equivalent medium internationally recognised for growth of these microorganisms may be used.

5.      Enumeration of non-Saccharomyces yeasts

5.1.      Lysine medium

The yeasts are cultivated in the lysine medium whose composition is as follows:

Agar

Glucose

1 g

Bromoscresol purple

0.015 g

Water

q.s. 1000 mL

pH 6.8

Bring to the boil for 1 min to ensure complete dissolution, then autoclave at 120°C for 20 min.

In case of prolonged incubation time, add chloramphenicol to a 100 mg/L final concentration to prevent bacterial growth.

After inoculation with the dilutions of the sample, the dishes are incubated at 25°C or 30°C for 48 to 96 hours.

Count the number of CFU (dishes of 30-300 colonies) and refer to the weight of the dry matter.
