Volatile analysis of Botrytis contaminated grapes using headspace solid phase microextraction GC-MS

Abstract

Grapes infected with grey mould due Botrytis cinerea are widespread in vineyards during certain growing conditions.  Excessive infection levels may lead to decreased yields and the formation of off flavours in wine made from infected grapes. To assist in timely vineyard management that minimises yield and quality losses, decision support tools that correlate early detection of Botrytis infection and quantification of potential off flavour development is desirable.In this study, laboratory infection of whole bunches/ single berries with Botrytis cinerea to create a range of grey mould contamination in Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Semillon were undertaken. After SPME GC-MS detection of grape homogenate, 8 out of 22 volatile compounds, including 3-octanol, 3-octanone, 1,5-dimethylnapthalene and 1,5-dimethyltetralin, were identified from VIP score and selectivity ratio, and excellent predictive model of Botrytis cinerea infection levels (determined by ergosterol measurement, antigen capture and qPCR) were developed using PLS and PLS2. These compounds, with high predictive accuracy, could be considered as potential biomarkers for rapid MS techniques in early stage.

Terroir effects on wine aromatic metabolomics in the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, Ningxia, China

Aim: The eastern foot of Helan Mountain, Ningxia, China is one of the most important wine production regions in China and grape cultivation has spread in several sub-regions with different soils and cultivars. Large diversity in wine aromas have been observed at Ningxia region but which terroir factors drive those diversity in aromas remain to uncover. This study aims to investigate the impacts of grape varieties and soil chemical properties on wine aromas at Ningxia, in order to characterize the aromatic typicality of Ningxia wines and provide foundation for developing a ‘Protected Designation of Origin’ system.

AROMA AND SENSORY CHARACTERIZATION OF XINOMAVRO RED WINES FROM DIFFERENT GREEK PROTECTED DESIGNATIONS OF ORIGIN, EFFECT OF TERROIR CHARACTERISTICS

The quality of wines has often been associated with their geographical area of production. The aim of this work was to characterize Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Xinomavro red wines from different geographical areas of Amyndeon and Naoussa in Northern Greece, elaborated with variables that contribute to their differentiation, such as soil characteristics, altitude, monthly average temperature and rainfall.
Xinomavro fruit parcels from different vineyards within the two PDO zones (5 PDO Naoussa and 6 PDO Amyndeon) were vinified following a standard winemaking process. A total of 25 aroma compounds were quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with simultaneous full scan and selected ion monitoring for data recording, and odor activity values (OAVs) were determined.
