Selective and sensitive quantification of wine biogenic amines using a dispersive solid-phase extraction clean-up/concentration method

Abstract

Biogenic amines exist in numerous foods, including wine. They can have aliphatic (putrescine, cadaverine, spermine, and spermidine), aromatic (tyramine and phenylethylamine) and heterocyclic structure (histamine and tryptamine). In wine, the biogenic amines have three possible origins, they can be present in the grape juice, can be formed during alcoholic fermentation by yeasts, or during malolactic fermentation by the action of lactic acid bacteria that can decarboxylate amino acids present in wine. Therefore, the main request for the formation of biogenic amines is the presence of free amino acids, the existence of decarboxylase-positive microorganisms, and environmental conditions that permit bacterial growth and decarboxylase synthesis and activity [1]. In low levels, biogenic amines contribute to physiological functions like regulation of stomach pH, body temperature, or brain activity. Nevertheless, the ingestion of wines comprising high levels of biogenic amines, numerous toxicological effects may happen for example headaches, nausea, and in severe situations intracerebral hemorrhage or even death [2].
Monitoring the existence of these compounds in wine is essential, not only from the toxicological perspective but also as an indicator of wine spoilage [3]. In this work, a simple dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) was developed for sample clean-up and pre-concentration of biogenic amines in wine. The dSPE using a strong cation exchange resin increased the selectivity and sensitivity of the analysis by elimination of interfering compounds and a five-fold enrichment of biogenic amines. The derivatization with benzoyl chloride and then the extraction with diethyl ether steps were optimized. HPLC with diode array detector was used as an analytical technique and this method was validated for twelve biogenic amines – ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, putrescine, cadaverin, typtamine, b-phenylethylamine, amylamine, spermidine, hexylamine, spermine, and histamine. The method presented an adequate precision and linearity with detection limits ranging from 0.133 to 0.509 mg/L. Recoveries ranging from 72 to 99% prove the accuracy of the method for determining biogenic amines in red, white, and Tawny Port wine samples yielding chromatograms clean from interferents [4]. The method was applied successfully to the analysis of 31 young commercial red wines from the 2016 vintage collected in wineries located in different Portuguese demarcated wine regions. The dSPE method developed is a simple, cheap, quick, and green sample clean-up strategy for biogenic amine analysis. Increasing their selective and sensitive UV detection, the more used detector in liquid chromatography. The results indicated that this method is suitable for the intended purpose with a good recovery, precision, detection, and quantification limits, and with a suitable range for the amounts of biogenic amines existing in wine.

Identification and biological properties of new resveratrol derivatives formed in red wine

Resveratrol is a well-known wine constituent with a wide range of activities. In wines, resveratrol can be oxidized to form various derivatives including oligomers [1]. In this study, resveratrol derivative transformation in hydroalcoholic solution was investigated by oxidative coupling using metals. De novo resveratrol derivatives were synthetized and analysed by NMR and MS experiments

Key phenolic compounds in the pulp of new red-fleshed table grape hybrids: anthocyanins and flavonols 

The cultivated area of table grapes worldwide has experienced a paramount increase over the last two decades. In this current scenario, traditional varieties are being replaced by new cultivars that prioritize a profitable and sustainable agriculture, while satisfying consumer demands. It is widely recognized that wine varieties, especially those with red berry flesh, are renowned for their high antioxidant capacity and phenolic compounds, which promote health. Recently, this topic has also gained significance in table grape breeding programs.

Grapevine sugar concentration model in the Douro Superior, Portugal

Increasingly warm and dry climate conditions are challenging the viticulture and winemaking sector. Digital technologies and crop modelling bear the promise to provide practical answers to those challenges. As viticultural activities strongly depend on harvest date, its early prediction is particularly important, since the success of winemaking practices largely depends upon this key event, which should be based on an accurate and advanced plan of the annual cycle. Herein, we demonstrate the creation of modelling tools to assess grape ripeness, through sugar concentration monitoring. The study area, the Portuguese Côa valley wine region, represents an important terroir in the “Douro Superior” subregion. Two varieties (cv. Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca) grown in five locations across the Côa Region were considered. Sugar accumulation in grapes, with concentrations between 170 and 230 g l-1, was used from 2014 to 2020 as an indicator of technological maturity conditioned by meteorological factors. The climatic time series were retrieved from the EU Copernicus Service, while sugar data were collected by a non-profit organization, ADVID, and by Sogrape, a leading wine company. The software for calibrating and validating this model framework was the Phenology Modeling Platform (PMP), version 5.5, using Sigmoid and growing degree-day (GDD) models for predictions. The performance was assessed through two metrics: Roots Mean Square Error (RMSE) and efficiency coefficient (EFF), while validation was undertaken using leave-one-out cross-validation. Our findings demonstrate that sugar content is mainly dependent on temperature and air humidity. The models achieved a performance of 0.65

NIR spectroscopy as a contacless rapid tool to estimate the amino acids profile in intact grape berries

Nitrogen composition of grape berries plays a key role in determining wine quality, affecting the development of alcoholic fermentation and the formation of volatile compounds. Grape nitrogen composition is influenced by several factors such as viticultural practices, soil management, timing or rate of fertilization and use of rootstock, among others.In this study a proximal, non-destructive tool based on NIR spectroscopy is presented to track the accumulation of a wide range of amino acids in intact grape berries during the ripening process.
