Infrared spectroscopy investigation of fresh grapevine organs for clustering and classification.

Abstract

The spectral information acquired from fresh whole grapevine organs have yet to be fully explored. Infrared spectroscopy provides the means to rapidly measure fresh plant material and providing extensive information on the physical and chemical structure of samples. This study aimed to explore the spectra of fresh grapevine shoots, leaves, and berries throughout the growing season for clustering and classification. Sampling was performed across two vintages (2019-2020; 2020-2021) from November to March. Five locations, seven cultivars, and 17 commercial vineyards were included. Collection of whole shoots, including leaves and grape bunches, were performed on a monthly basis. The fresh grapevine organs were analysed using three spectroscopy methods within 24-36 hours of sampling. Mid-infrared (MIR) and near-infrared (NIR), making use of a solid probe (NIR-SP) and a rotating sphere (NIR-RS), were investigated. The raw spectra were firstly investigated using principal component analysis (PCA) followed by a more novel chemometric approach, unsupervised
self-organising maps (SOM). PCA as well as unsupervised SOM showed the most considerable grouping based on organ type. Additionally, the unsupervised SOM showed separation trends based on phenological stage. Investigation of the datasets per organ with SOM showed separation based on the phenological stage for berries and shoots, as well as shoots clustering based on lignification. Supervised SOM were examined for classification based on the observed clustering per organ type, phenological stage, and lignification. The accurate prediction of organ at 90.3% was possible for the NIR-SP dataset for 2019-2021. Overlapping of various phenological stages were seen for the grape berry datasets, but prediction improved to 85.6% for the NIR-RS 2019-2021 dataset when certain phenological
stages were grouped together. Accurate predictions of lignified and unlignified shoots were also seen for the NIR-SP 2019-2021 and NIR-RS 2020-2021 datasets at 74.4% and 89.9% respectively. The possibility of using spectral variable selection to improve the supervised SOM predictions were explored and promising results obtained for certain datasets. Following variable selection with OPLS-DA and S-plots, the prediction of shoots and leaves improved by 14% for the NIR-RS 2020-2021 dataset. The prediction of lignified and unlignified shoots improved considerably to 92.3% for the NIR-SP 2019-2021 dataset and 95.9% for the NIR-RS 2020-2021 dataset. This study showed the extensive information available in infrared spectra of fresh grapevine organs and how the information could be used to achieve important clustering and classifications objectives

IMPACT OF THE WINES’ QUALITY ON THE WINE DISTILLATES’ ORGANOLEPTIC PROFILE

Brandy de Jerez (BJ) is a spirit drink made exclusively from spirits and wine distillates and is characterized by the use of casks for aging that previously contained Sherries. The quality and sensory complexity of BJ depend on the raw materials and some factors: grape variety, conditions during processing the wine and its distillation, as well as the aging in the cask. Therefore, the original compounds of the grapes from which it comes are of great interest (1 y 2) being in most cases the Airén variety. Their relationship with the quality of the musts and the wines obtained from them has been studied (3) and varies each year of harvest depending on the weather conditions (4).

Effects of progeny in the modulation of the response to water stress in isohydric and anisohydric varieties

Each grapevine variety has a specific water use regulation response under drought, and it is still unclear whether this regulation results from innate genotypic behavior (iso- and anisohydric), or is a response to environmental factors, namely recurrent water stress priming effects. In the present work, we explored the influence of the field-grown genotypes’ drought memory in the drought-response phenotype of their vegetative progenies, in Trincadeira (isohydric) and Castelão (anisohydric) varieties under a drought event followed by recovery in a glasshouse. Cuttings from both cultivars subjected to full irrigation (FI) and non-irrigation (NI) treatments for 5 consecutive years were used.

Selecting green cover species in the under-trellis zone of Lower Austrian vineyards

The under-trellis zone of vineyards is a sensitive area through which vines cover a significant portion of their nutrient and water needs. Mechanical and chemical methods are applied to suppress competing and tall-growing weeds to ensure optimal vine growth conditions. In addition to higher operating costs and depending on the soil conditions, these practices might lead to a long-term reduction in soil fertility and biodiversity. The presented study aims to analyse the suitability and interspecies competition of a selected green cover mixture of five local herbaceous species as potential green cover mixture in the under-trellis area of Lower Austrian vineyards.

Cover crop management and termination timing have different effects on the maturation and water potentials of Glera (Vitis vinifera L.) in Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Inter-row soil tillage in vineyards, stimulates vigor and production due to the absence of competition for water and nutrients, however negatively affects organic matter content, soil erosion, and compaction, resulting in reduced fertility. In this study, we investigated the effects of different cover crop management approaches, including cultivation type and termination timing, on the physiological and productive responses of a Glera vineyard.
The experimental trial was conducted in Precenicco (UD) from 2019 to 2021. A commercial mixture for autumn cover cropping was sown in alternating rows, and the sowing pattern was changed each year.

Influence Of Different Grape Polysaccharides On Phenolic Compounds And Colour Characteristics Of Tempranillo Red Wines

Polysaccharides (PS) are one of the main compounds found in wines, and they come mainly from the grape cell walls or from the yeasts, and they play an important role in the technological and sensory characteristics of wines. Polysaccharides obtained from yeasts have been more studied, especially mannoproteins, since there are commercial products.
