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.

Soil or geology? And what’s the difference? Some observations from the New World

Observational historical geology seeks to establish the evolutionary history of the surface of Earth. This approach is applicable not only to bedrock, but to the soft material that lies at the surface, the stuff called soil by most people. The geologic perspective provides a view of this material that is quite different from that of soil science, at least as practiced by many in America.

Trans-resveratrol concentrations in wines Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile

This study evaluated the levels of trans-resveratrol in commercial wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from different valleys of Chile stilbenes. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted variety in Chile, being 38% of the total vineyard country. Chile is the fourth largest wine exporter in the world, so it is important to evaluate the Cabernet-Sauvignon wines in their concentration levels of trans-resveratrol and its relation to the benefits provided to human health in moderate consumption. Evaluation comprises commercial wines from different valleys of Chile and its relationship with climatic characteristics, soil and vineyard handling.

Grapevine drought tolerant ideotypes to adapt viticulture to climate change

Climate change is challenging the resilience of grapevine, one of the most important crops worldwide. Adapting viticulture to a hotter and drier future will require a multifaceted approach that must include new management strategies, increased irrigation efficiency, and the identification of more drought tolerant genotypes.

Pro-active management of grapevine trunk diseases by means of sanitation in nurseries

Several trunk diseases cause decline and premature dieback of grapevines. In vineyards, these pathogens gain entry into plants through unprotected wounds. Wounds are also frequently infected during the propagation stages. The pathogens survive in infected plants in a latent form and cause disease in older grapevines or in plants that are
