Multivariate data analysis applied on Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy for the prediction of tannins levels during red wine fermentation

Abstract

Red wine is a beverage with one of the highest polyphenol concentration, which are extracted during the maceration step of the winemaking process. Sensory perception such as astringency and bitterness are mainly related to tannin concentration and composition. However, quick analytical measurement of polyphenolic compounds can be a real challenge for monitoring their extraction during fermentation. Many methods were developed to analyzed polyphenols in wine, but they are time-consuming and require chemistry skills and equipment, not suitable for a rapid routine analysis. Thus, development of predictive models
using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics analysis appears to be a reliable and rapid method to determine polyphenolic content during wines fermentation.

For this purpose, this work sought to determine correlation between FTIR analysis and regular quantification methods for tannins, for different samples, covering three different vintages with two different grape varieties, from the beginning to the end of the extraction process. The search for diversity was highlighted during the selection of samples, to provide the best representation of the winemaking process. Total tannin concentration was analyzed by protein and polysaccharide precipitation. Flavanol composition was obtained by HPLC-UV after phloroglucinolysis reaction. FTIR spectra were registered between 925 and 5011 cm-1 using Winescan. Correlation between spectral analyzes and the various analytical information obtained were sought with partial least squares (PLS) multivariate regression analysis, for designing prediction models. The different models were tested with cross validation, and validation with an external set of samples to the calibration. For the external validation, the dataset was split into calibration and validation using Kennard-Stone algorithm.

The objective of this study was to demonstrate the interest of FTIR with PLS multivariate regression analysis to predict tannins concentration during winemaking. Correlations obtained show relevant results for the studied parameters, with models coefficients for cross validation higher than 0.8 for flavanol content (except for epigallocatechin) and higher than 0.9 for total tannins concentrations. The results with external validation are slightly lower for total tannins concentrations, with coefficient of prediction around 0.87, and show a more important decrease for flavanol content, with coefficient of prediction close to 0.7. If models for total tannins already show a high robustness and prediction, models for flavanol content must be improve with other samples. However, the results are encouraging and an
increase of the robustness could allow following flavanol content during winemaking. This work is the first step for the construction of predictive models to quantify different flavanol parameters in red wine fermentation by FTIR spectroscopy.

Évaluation environnementale de pratiques vitivinicoles innovantes

The Institut Français De La Vigne Et Du Vin (IFV) is conducting many experiments on innovative winegrowing practices, which are emerging in companies in the sector, or which are still at the R&D stage for agricultural suppliers. The purpose of these practices may be to reduce environmental impact, to adapt vineyards to climate change, or to achieve other technical, economic or social aims. Whatever the objective, it is necessary to verify the relevance of these new practices, and in particular their environmental relevance, i.e. That at the very least, the changes in practices do not increase the environmental impact of the technical itineraries.

Zoning, environment, and landscape: historic and perspective

Dans une approche globale, nous proposons la définition suivante du zonage : “représentation cartographique associée à une sectorisation du territoire en zones unitaires homogènes à partir de facteurs discriminants établis sur la base d’indicateurs quantifiables et d’avis d’experts”. La première application de cette méthode a porté sur la caractérisation du terroir en liaison avec les aspects qualitatifs des vins. Il est également possible d’envisager d’appliquer cette démarche dans les stratégies environnementales et paysagères liées aux approches territoriales et aux pratiques viticoles. Cette méthode peut servir de base dans la mise en œuvre des outils financiers associés aux mesures environnementales (CTE, aides spécifiques).

Influence of two yeast strains and different nitrogen nutrition on the aromatic compounds in Lugana wine

Lugana Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) wines are made from Turbiana grapes. The aroma of Lugana wines results from the combined contribution of esters, terpenes, norisprenoids, sulfur compounds and the benzenoid methyl salicylate. This study aims to investigate how volatile aroma compounds are affected by different nitrogen supplies and yeast strains.

POTENTIAL DEACIDIFYING ROLE OF A COMMERCIAL CHITOSAN: IMPACT ON PH, TITRATABLE ACIDITY, AND ORGANIC ACIDS IN MODEL SOLUTIONS AND WHITE WINE

Chitin is the main structural component of a large number of organisms (i.e., mollusks, insects, crustaceans, fungi, algae), and marine invertebrates including crabs and shrimps. The main derivative of chitin is chitosan (CH), produced by N-deacetylation of chitin in alkaline solutions. Over the past decade, the OIV/OENO 338A/ 2009 resolution approved the addition of allergen-free fungoid CH to must and wine as an adjuvant for microbiological control, prevention of haziness, metals chelation and ochratoxins removal (European Commission. 2011). Despite several studies on application of CH in winemaking, there are still very limited and controversial data on its interaction with acidic components in wine (Colan-gelo et al., 2018; Castro Marin et al., 2021).

Variability in the content of coarse elements in a viticultural plot in the Graves appellation: relationship with geophysical data

Il a été souvent démontré (Seguin, 1970), que les meilleurs terroirs sont ceux qui présentent pendant la période de maturation du raisin, une régulation et une limitation de l’alimentation hydrique de la vigne. Si on s’intéresse aux facteurs influençant ce régime hydrique, on constate le rôle prépondérant du taux d’éléments grossiers non poreux qui limitent la réserve utile du sol en diminuant le taux de terre fine. De plus, ces éléments grossiers jouent également un rôle au niveau du pédo-climat thermique car leur conductivité thermique et leur chaleur spécifique sont plus élevées que celles de la terre fine. Ainsi le sol se réchauffera et se refroidira plus rapidement (Saini et McLean, 1967), (Gras, 1994).
