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.

Prediction of the production kinetics of the main fermentative aromas in alcoholic fermentation

Fermentative aromas (especially esters and higher alcohols) highly impact the organoleptic profile of young and white wines. The production of these volatile compounds depends mainly on temperature and Yeast Available Nitrogen (YAN) content in the must. Available dynamic models predict the main reaction
(bioconversion of sugar into ethanol and CO2 production) but none of them considers the production kinetics of fermentative aroma compounds during the process of fermentation. We determined the production kinetics of the main esters and higher alcohols for different values of initial YAN content and temperature, using an innovative online monitoring Gas Chromatography device.

 The manipulation of the genetic basis controlling grapevine adaptation and phenotypic plasticity can be performed either by classical genetics or biotechnologies.

Relation entre les caractéristiques des fromages d’Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée et les facteurs de production du lait

Les fromages d’Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) représentent un enjeu économique important pour la filière laitière (11 % des fromages produits en France sont des fromages d’AOC, et dans certaines régions de montagne, cette proportion dépasse 50 %). Les spécificités de ces fromages et leurs liaisons avec les caractéristiques du terroir constituent un système complexe où interagissent en particulier la technologie fromagère et les caractéristiques des laits (composition chimique en particulier). Ces dernières dépendent elles-mêmes des caractéristiques des animaux (origine génétique, facteurs physiologiques, état sanitaire) et de leur mode de conduite (alimentation, hygiène, traite…) (fig. 1). L’influence de ces facteurs de production (alimentation et type d’animal en particulier) sur les caractéristiques des fromages est fréquemment mise en avant par les fromagers, sur la base d’observations empiriques. Il existe cependant très peu de travaux expérimentaux sur le sujet, en raison, entre autres, de la difficulté de séparer correctement les effets propres de ces facteurs d’amont de ceux liés à la technologie fromagère.

Isolation, biofilm formation and control of the wine spoilage yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis

Brettanomyces bruxellensis, commonly referred to as “Brett,” is one of the most notorious microorganisms implicated in wine spoilage. This yeast species has developed a noteworthy resistance to sulfur dioxide, a widely used preservative in winemaking, prompting the wine industry to seek new antimicrobial agents.

Vegetative dose heights ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ and its influence on fruit and wine quality

The leaf area is of fundamental importance so that the plant can realize adequate levels of photosynthesis for the accumulation of reserves and to reach a suitable maturation of
the berries. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the effect of different lengths of the stalks from the first support wire, in the must and in the wine of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’.
