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

Does wine expertise influence semantic categorization of wine odors?

Aromatic characterization is a key issue to enhance wines knowledge. While several studies argue the importance of wine expertise in the ability of performing odor-related sensory tasks, there is still little attention paid to the influence of expertise on the semantic representation of wine odors.

REVEALING THE ORIGIN OF BORDEAUX WINES WITH RAW 1D-CHROMATOGRAMS

Understanding the composition of wine and how it is influenced by climate or wine-making practices is a challenging issue. Two approaches are typically used to explore this issue. The first approach uses chemical
fingerprints, which require advanced tools such as high-resolution mass spectrometry and multidimensional chromatography. The second approach is the targeted method, which relies on the widely available 1-D GC/MS, but involves integrating the areas under a few peaks which ends up using only a small fraction of the chromatogram.

AROMATIC AND FERMENTATIVE PERFORMANCES OF HANSENIASPORA VINEAE IN DIFFERENT SEQUENTIAL INOCULATION PROTOCOLS WITH SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE FOR WHITE WINEMAKING

Hanseniaspora vineae (Hv) is a fermenting non-Saccharomyces yeast that compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) present some peculiar features on its metabolism that make it attractive for its use in wine production. Among them, it has been reported a faster yeast lysis and release of polysaccharides, as well as increased ß-glucosidase activity. Hv also produces distinctive aroma compounds, including elevated levels of fermentative compounds such as ß-phenylethyl acetate and norisoprenoids like safranal. However, it is known for its high nutritional requirements, resulting in prolonged and sluggish fermentations, even when complemented with Sc strain and nutrients.
