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

NIR based sensometric approach for consumer preference evaluation

Climate change has had a global impact on grape production, and as a result, developing table grape varieties that can withstand climate-related threats has become a significant goal. However, it is equally important to ensure that these new grape varieties meet the preferences of consumers. To achieve this goal, a procedure has been developed that combines sensory analysis with spectroscopic data collected in the NIR region. Each sample was analyzed using both traditional analytical techniques and non-destructive NIR spectroscopy.

Simulating climate change impact on viticultural systems in historical and emergent vineyards

Global climate change affects regional climates and hold implications for wine growing regions worldwide. Although winegrowers are constantly adapting to internal and external factors, it seems relevant to develop tools, which will allow them to better define actual and future agro-climatic potentials. Within this context, we develop a modelling approach, able to simulate the impact of environmental conditions and constraints on vine behaviour and to highlight potential adaptation strategies according to different climate change scenarios. Our modeling approach, named SEVE (Simulating Environmental impacts on Viticultural Ecosystems), provides a generic modeling framework for simulating grapevine growth and berry ripening under different conditions and constraints (slope, aspect, soil type, climate variability…) as well as production strategies and adaptation rules according to climate change scenarios. Each activity is represented by an autonomous agent able to react and adapt its reaction to the variability of environmental constraints. Using this model, we have recently analyzed the evolution of vineyards’ exposure to climatic risks (frost, pathogen risk, heat wave) and the adaptation strategies potentially implemented by the winegrowers. This approach, implemented for two climate change scenarios, has been initiated in France on traditional (Loire Valley) and emerging (Brittany) vineyards. The objective is to identify the time horizons of adaptations and new opportunities in these two regions. Carried out in collaboration with wine growers, this approach aims to better understand the variability of climate change impacts at local scale in the medium and long term.

Distribution of photosynthates towards the grapes: effects of leaf removal and cluster thinning applied before veraison in cv. Verdejo

The relationship between grape production and leaf surface is a highly debated aspect in terms of the impact it may have on the composition and quality of grapes, especially in areas that focus their cultivation on high-quality wine. In many occasions, the limitation of the unitary production level in these areas is claimed to be the main factor for achieving high quality levels in the wine, forgetting the importance of the source-sink relationship and other environmental factors and management of the canopy. Taking this consideration into account, this work seeks to know the response of the vine as a whole, and the individual shoot as well, to the application of various alternatives of leaves and clusters removal, carried out in the phase immediately before veraison, in cv. Verdejo, in Spain.

Viticultural parameters and enological performance of six Merlot clones in two contrasting vintages

Vitis vinifera L. and other Vitis have high genetic variations for cultivars or varieties. Many countries carried out strong efforts creating new clones of varieties, mainly focusing on plants free of viruses and other grapevine diseases, but also on different agronomical and enological characteristics of the plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate six clones of Merlot in the traditional viticulture of southeastern Brazil, focusing on distinct characteristics of yield, enological potential of grapes and wine typicality, in order to improve wine quality.
