Hyperspectral imaging and Raman spectroscopy, nondestructive methods to assess wine grape composition

Abstract

Grape composition is of high interest for producing quality wines. For that, grape analyses are necessary, and they still require sample preparation, whether with classical analyses or with NIR analyses. The aim of the study was to test the ability of two nondestructive analyses, directly on grapes, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and Raman spectroscopy to assess their composition.
For that, 7 grape varieties were analyzed for 2 vintages. Each grape was characterized by its technological ripening (levels of sugars, organic acids and pH) and its phenolic ripeness (total phenolic, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins contents, as well as extractable phenolic, extractable flavonoids, extractable anthocyanins, values obtained from a model wine maceration from skins, and color intensity). Spectra were recorded on 100 and 40 fresh berries per date and variety respectively with hyperspectral imaging and Raman. Raw data underwent different pretreatments (SNV, 1st and 2nd derivative) and PLS-R were then realized in order to provide models to assess grape composition.
The results showed that the 1st derivative data pretreatment generated better models and was then kept for all following analyses. Both methods, Raman spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging, showed good ability to assess technological ripening parameters (sugar and acid contents) as well as phenolic content (TPI, Total Phenolics, Total Anthocyanins, Total Flavonoids and their extractable equivalents) (with globally R² > 0.81). However, it was not possible to reach the color intensity of grapes.
Even if both methods have the potential to assess wine grape quality on 11 important parameters, the quality of the models generated in our study was dependent on the quality parameter, the type of grapes (color) and the method, except for fructose, TSS and Extractable Anthocyanin contents, which were equivalent. Thus, the glucose concentration and the Total Phenolic Index (TPI) were better assessed by Raman spectroscopy, whereas Extractable Phenolics content was better estimated by HSI for both white and red grapes as well as Total  Anthocyanin content. Tartaric acid, Total Flavonoids, Color Intensity and extractable Flavonoids were better assessed by HSI for red grapes but by Raman for white grapes.
The quality of the generated models was yet dependent on the color of grapes and the parameter considered. More data would be necessary to strengthen the models but the proof of concept was successful with this study

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California

San Joaquin Valley accounts for 40% of wine grape acreage and produces 70% of wine grape in California. Fruit quality is one of most important factors which impact the economical sustainability of farming wine grapes in this region. Due to the recent drought and expected labor cost increase, the wine industry is thrilled to understand how to improve fruit quality while maintaining the yield with less water and labor input. The present study aims to study the interactive effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on yield and berry compositions of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Application of a fluorescence-based method to evaluate the ripening process and quality of Pinot Blanc grape

The chemical composition of grape berries at harvest is one of the most important factors that should be considered to produce high quality wines. Among the different chemical classes which characterize the grape juice, the polyphenolic compound, such as flavonoids, contribute to the final taste and color of wines. Recently, an innovative non-destructive method, based on chlorophyll fluorescence, was developed to estimate the phenolic maturity of red grape varieties through the evaluation of anthocyanins accumulated in the berry skin. To date, only few data are available about the application of this method on white grape varieties.

Different yield regulation strategies in semi-minimal-pruned hedge (SMPH) and impact on bunch architecture

Yields in the novel viticulture training system Semi-Minimal-Pruned Hedge (SMPH) are generally higher compared to the traditional Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP). Excessive yields have a negative impact on the vine and wine quality, which can result in substantial losses in yield in subsequent vintages (alternate bearing) or penalties in fruit quality. Therefore yield regulation is essential. The bunch architecture in SMPH differs from VSP. Generally there is a higher amount but smaller bunches with lower single berry weights in SMPH compared to VSP.
