Electrochemical approaches in wine analysis 

Abstract

There is a high demand in the wine industry for analytical methods able to provide useful information to support the decision-making process in the vineyard and in the winery. Ideally these methods should be rapid (e.g. not requiring any sample preparation), cost-effective both in terms of required equipment and cost of analyses, and easy to implement. 

 

 

Electroanalytical methods have been successfully applied to the analysis of wine antioxidants, in particular phenolic compounds. However, until recently, their application was restricted to research laboratory settings, due to the complexity of the analytical set up and procedures. The recent advances in the development of portable equipment and screen-printed disposable sensors have provided interesting opportunities to adapt this technique to the winery environment.  

 

 

This lecture will cover different electroanalytical approaches of potential interest for the wine industry, with particular emphasis on voltammetric methods and their application to the monitoring of winery-relevant processes and parameters as well as for wine grade classification and varietal characterization. Additional possibilities will also be explored, in particular those related to the rapid classification of enological products such as commercial tannins or oak derivatives. Along with highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of the techniques presented, novel integrated approaches will be discussed. In particular, the combined use of advanced multivariate data analysis and artificial intelligence can unlock the capabilities of voltametric methods in the development of approaches of predictive enology. Among these, the possibility to develop tools for wine shelf-life prediction will be discussed

Effect of concentration and competition between different fungicide residues on the adsorption efficiency of activated vegetal fibres for treatment of wine

Vineyards are strongly exposed to fungal diseases, attacks from insects and competition with weeds. Most treatments used on grape vines contain synthetic active substances, which may be transferred to the wine. Such pesticides have a negative image because many active substances are potential health hazards. A specific oenological treatment allowing the reduction of pesticide residues in wine based on activated vegetable fibres (AVF) is under examination by the International Organisation for Vine and Wine. This technique works efficiently and alters the wine only little (Lempereur et al. 2014).

Multi-trait selection in ancient grapevine varieties

The selection of ancient grapevine varieties aims to achieve genetic gains in several important traits that can make the variety more interesting for the objectives of the producers. Traditionally, yield and quality traits of the must have been considered for selection, but many others can be taken into account. Linear mixed models are fitted to the data to predict the empirical best linear unbiased predictors (EBLUPs) of genotypic effects for each evaluated trait, which will be the basis for selection.

Influenza del sito di coltivazione nella espressione aromatica del Moscato liquoroso di Pantelleria

ln 1997, twenty six cultivation sites of cv. Muscat of Alexandria different for pedological conditions, altitude and exposition were selected through ail Pantelleria isle. ln each site, described and classified according to USDA Soil Taxonony and FAO Soil Classification methods, grapes, collected at technological ripening, were microvinificated, following a standard procedure which allowed to obtain the naturally sweet wine DOC Moscato di Pantelleria. Wines, five months after vinification, were analysed by gaschromatography.
