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.

Aroma quality of fortified wines from different Moscato cv. Cultivated in sicily

AIM: Vitis vinifera L. cv. Moscato includes different varieties, mainly white grapes with a medium-sized berry, spheroidal or slightly flattened in shape, yellow greenish color which becomes golden yellow or amber when exposed to the sun. Moscato varieties are mainly used for the production of sweet aromatic wines

Prediction of aromatic attributes of red wines from its colour properties 

Wine perception is a multisensory experience that makes use of the sight, smell, and taste senses. When wine is sensorially assessed, the stimulus received generates multiple signals that tasters convert into organoleptic descriptors. Colour is commonly the first attribute evaluated during wine tasting. Moreover, the colour properties provide the taster with a priori information of the wine’s aroma. This preconceived perception is later confirmed or denied during the aroma evaluation.

Effect of concentration and competition between different fungicide residues on the adsorption efficiency of activated vegetal fibres for treatment of wine

Vineyards are strongly exposed to fungal diseases, attacks from insects and competition with weeds. Most treatments used on grape vines contain synthetic active substances, which may be transferred to the wine. Such pesticides have a negative image because many active substances are potential health hazards. A specific oenological treatment allowing the reduction of pesticide residues in wine based on activated vegetable fibres (AVF) is under examination by the International Organisation for Vine and Wine. This technique works efficiently and alters the wine only little (Lempereur et al. 2014).

First insights on the intra-species diversity in V. berlandieri: environmental adaptation and agronomic performances when used as rootstock

In grafted plants, such as grapevine, increasing the diversity of rootstocks available to growers is an ideal strategy to get adaptation to climate change. The rootstocks used for grapevine are hybrids of various American Vitis, including V. berlandieri. The rootstocks currently used in vineyards are derived from breeding programs involving very small numbers of parental individuals.

Effects of the addition of yeast derived products during aging in chardonnay sparkling winemaking

From the beginning of the yeast autolysis process, several interesting intracellular and cell wall constituyents are released to the media providing different characteristics to the wine, being this process extensively studied in sparkling wines due to their important contribution to their properties (1-2). Yeast derived products (YDs) try to emulate the natural yeast autolysis compounds release enhancing the organoleptic characteristics of resulting wines (2-3). This study is a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of the addition of different YDs added to base wine on the chemical, physical and sensory characteristics of the resulting sparkling wines. METHODS: Chardonnay base wine was employed to carry out this study. Three experimental YDs were added at 5 and 10 g/hL to the tirage liqueur: a yeast autolysate (YA), a yeast protein extract (PE) and an inactivated dry yeast from Torulaspora delbrueckii, (TD), and two commercial specific inactivated dry yeast: OPTIMUM WHITE® (OW) and PURE-LONGEVITY®(PL). After second fermentation, measurements were carried out after 3, 6, 9 and 18 months of aging on lees. General enological parameters, proteins, polysaccharides (HPLC-DAD-RID), volatile compounds profile (GC-MS), foaming characteristics (Mosalux), and descriptive sensory analyses were carried out.
