A browser application for comprehensive 3-dimensional LC × LC × IM – MS data analysis to study grape and wine polyphenols

Abstract

The analysis of structurally diverse proanthocyanidins in grapes and wine is challenging. Comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) and ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) are increasingly used to address the challenges associated with the analysis of highly complex samples such as wine and grapes. Hyphenation of these techniques in form of a comprehensive three-dimensional LC×LC×IMS separation system coupled to high resolution – mass spectrometry significantly increases separation power. The gain of separation power results in very opulent and complex four-dimensional data structure. One of the main challenges of such a system is the lack of commercial software to accommodate the resulting four-dimensional data. We therefore developed a Python protocol using Jupyter notebooks for the extraction, visualization and interpretation of such data. Jupyter notebooks allow all methods of signal and data processing and even interactive visualizations. The user, however, needs programming skills to employ the notebooks. To make the data analysis approach available to analytical chemists without programming skills, we developed an interactive analytical browser application based on the Python package Plotly’s Dash.

The visualization of an extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) of the LC×LC×IMS-MS data is achieved by a 3-dimensional scatter plot representing the first and second dimension retention times and the IMS drift time on the x-, y- and z-axis of the scatter plot, respectively. Peaks appear as clouds of data points in this three-dimensional space. A mouse click on a data point shows the high-resolution mass spectrum in a separate bar plot. An example of the usage of the browser app includes separations of the procyanidin trimers (865 m/z) found in grape seed extract

Non-invasive headspace sorptive extraction for monitoring volatile compounds production by saccharomyces and non-saccharomyces strains throughout alcoholic fermentation

Wine is a solution containing abundant volatile compounds which contribute to their aroma. Many of them are produced by yeast as metabolism by-products. Different yeast strains produce different volatile profiles. The possibility of studying the evolution of volatile compounds during fermentation, using sampling methods that not alter the volume of fermentation media, is of great interest. In spite of this, non-invasive methods to monitoring the evolution of volatile profile during fermentation have been seldom used. The goals of this work were to use by first time the headspace sorptive extraction (HSSE) as non-invasive method to monitor the evolution of volatile profiles throughout alcoholic fermentation and to study the changes on volatile profiles produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lachancea thermotolerans during fermentation of a must with high sugar content.

Use of sensors/biosensors for detection of food safety parameters in wine

The implementation of food safety assurance systems in wineries involves ensuring that the wines produced do not pose a risk to consumer health and are therefore free from harmful substances, such as those that may be incorporated during the production process (pesticides, additives, etc.), allergens or mycotoxins.

Water status response of Vitis vinifera L. cv Cabernet Sauvignon during the first years within the long-term VineyardFACE (Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment) study 

Understanding grapevine responses to increasing atmospheric CO2 (aCO2) concentrations is crucial for assessing the impact of climate change on viticulture. Previously, at the VineyardFACE (Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment) experiment in Geisenheim, leaf gas exchange measurements were made as Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon established from planting (2014 to 2016) under aCO2 or elevated CO2 (eCO2, aCO2 + 20%) concentrations. Contrary to many preceding observations with grapevines and other perennial plant species the young vines showed an increased intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) that was mainly associated with an increase in net assimilation (A) rather than a decrease in stomatal conductance (gs) under eCO2.

Impacts of the projected changes in temperature under scenarios of climate change on vine phenology of three red varieties cultivated in Rioja (Spain)

Grapevine is one of the crops that may suffer more negative impacts
under climate change, due not only to changes in temperature but also due to water available. Some of the most direct effects of climate variability on grapevines are the changes in the onset and timing of phenology events and changes in the length of the growing season, which may have further effects on grape quality. The aim of this research was to analyze the changes in vine phenology of some red varieties (Tempranillo, Grenache and Carignan) cultivated in Rioja Oriental (Rioja DOCa), under different climate change scenarios.
