Trace-level analysis of phosphonate in wine and must by ion chromatography with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-MS).

Abstract

Phosphonic acid and especially potassium dihydrogen phosphonate are widely used to restrain the ubiquitous pressure of grapevine downy mildew in viticulture. Nevertheless, phosphonic acid and its derivatives have been banned in organic viticulture in October 2013, because they have been classified as plant protection products since then. This development has fueled the need for analytical methods for sensitive phosphonate determination. Current routine analysis of phosphonic acid is usually performed by ion chromatography with conductivity detection (IC-CD), which is not always sufficiently sensitive and specific. Furthermore, the quick polar pesticide evaluation method (QuPPe) of the European Reference Laboratory in combination with LC-MS/MS is well established for most polar pesticides. However, in case of phosphonic acid, issues regarding mass transitions and poor chromatographic resolution, can occur. Therefore, we sought to evaluate a new method based on IC separation coupled with ICP-MS detection as an alternative for previously described methods. By coupling an ICP-MS to an IC, non-phosphorus-containing, coeluting substances can be eliminated and thus a higher specificity can be achieved. Hence, this contribution highlights the development and validation of an IC-ICP-MS based workflow for the robust, sensitive and reliable determination of phosphonic acid at low µg/kg levels in wine and must. This method is then compared to the previous detection by CD and the advantages and disadvantages of each are briefly described. Quantification limits are 20 µg/kg or lower with % RSDs typically

Novel table grape varieties as “ready-to-eat” products

Consumers are increasingly requesting ready-to-eat products, which are time-saving and convenient. Offering ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables represents a quick and easy way for any consumer to add healthy products to their diet. In this study, we evaluated the aptitude of several table grape varieties to be included in the processing and packaging lines of ready-to-eat products. The following work was based on the characterization of genetic materials and varietal innovation.

WHICH IMPACT FOR PROANTHOCYANIDIC TANNINS ON RED WINE FRUITY AROMA? SENSORY AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL APPROACHES

Previous research on the fruity character of red wines highlighted the role of esters. Literature provides evidence that, besides these esters, other compounds that are not necessarily volatiles may have an important impact on the overall aroma of wine, contributing to a modulation of its global aromatic expression. The goal of this work was to assess the olfactory consequences of a mixture between esters and proanthocyanidic tannins, through sensory and physico-chemical approaches.
Sensory analysis of numerous aromatic reconstitutions, including triangular tests, detection thresholds, and sensory profiles, were conducted in order to evaluate the sensory impact of tannins on red wine esters perception.

Characterization of four Chenin Blanc-rootstock combinations to assess grapevine adaptability to water constraint

Climate change impacts water availability for agriculture, notably in semi-arid regions like South Africa, necessitating research on cultivar and rootstock adaptability to water constraints. To evaluate the performance (vegetative and reproductive) of different Chenin Blanc-rootstock combinations to the two water regimes, a field experiment was established in a model vineyard at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. Chenin Blanc vines grafted onto four different rootstocks (110Richter, 99Richter, 1103Paulsen and US 8-7) were planted in 2020. The vines are managed under two contrasting water conditions – dryland and irrigated (industry norm).
