Screening of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosine related metabolites in commercial wines by an UHPLC/MS validated method.

Abstract

Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a bioactive phenolic compound with antioxidant activity. Yeast synthetise tyrosol from tyrosine by the Ehrlich pathway which is subsequently hydroxylated to HT. The aim of the present work is to develop and validate an UHPLC–HRMS method to assess the metabolites involved in this pathway as well as to screen Spanish commercial wines for HT bioactive compound.

A total of 100 samples of commercial wines were analysed including 57 red wines and 43 white. The analysis was carried out in a Waters Acquity UHPLC (Milford, Massachusetts, USA) coupled to a Waters Xevo TQ (Milford, Massachusetts, USA) triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The MassLynx MS software was used. The column used was an Acquity UPLC BEH C18. The chromatographic conditions consisted of two mobile phases, water with 0.2% acetic acid (A) and acetonitrile (B), with a gradient elution programmed.

This analytical method was validated following AOAC instructions (AOAC 2012). Linearity, LOD, LOQ, intermediate accuracy, repeatability and matrix effects were the parameters assessed.  Calibration standards were prepared for each analytical batch and three replicates were determined at different concentrations for each compound with 7 degrees of linearity.

Linearity values were calculated through the correlation coefficient (R2) of the curves obtained for each compound. The detection limits were calculated based on the standard deviation of the response and the slope (Ich, 2005).

The intermediate precision was calculated measuring standard deviation (RSD) in a set of three concentrations (LOQ, 10x LOQ and 100x LOQ ng mL−1) for 5 days with 6 replicates per concentration. Repeatability was assessed in a single day-long work session, with six replicates of each concentration.

The matrix effect was tested in a wine synthetic matrix by spiking with the same standard
solution as described above. The slopes resulting from the spiked matrix and calibration solutions (acetonitrile 10% v/v) in the linear range were used to evaluate the matrix effect.

In order to elucidate the effect that filtration caused on the compounds, most usual filters such as nylon (NY), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and cellulose acetate (CA) were tested. In the case of hydroxytyrosol the LOD was 0.052 ng mL−1 and LOQ 0.157 ng mL-1. For tyrosol, LOD 13,020 and LOQ 39,455 ng mL -1. Tyrosine, LOD 1,567 and LOQ 4,748 ng mL−1 and hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, LOD 6,795 and LOQ 20,591 ng mL-1. All the values had an R2 between 0.9991 and 0.9999, showing quite good linearity. As we know, this is the first study available in which all the compound of the formation route for hydroxytyrosol has been identified and quantified. This could be accomplished thanks to a validated HRM method developed specifically to diminish LOD and LOQ. Furthermore, we ascertained the differences in the content of hydroxytyrosol in a great range of Spanish wines.

Comparison of imputation methods in long and varied phenological series. Application to the Conegliano dataset, including observations from 1964 over 400 grape varieties

A large varietal collection including over 1700 varieties was maintained in Conegliano, ITA, since the 1950s. Phenological data on a subset of 400 grape varieties including wine grapes, table grapes, and raisins were acquired at bud break, flowering, veraison, and ripening since 1964. Despite the efforts in maintaining and acquiring data over such an extensive collection, the data set has varying degrees of missing cases depending on the variety and the year. This is ubiquitous in phenology datasets with significant size and length. In this work, we evaluated four state-of-the-art methods to estimate missing values in this phenological series: k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN), Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations (mice), MissForest, and Bidirectional Recurrent Imputation for Time Series (BRITS). For each phenological stage, we evaluated the performance of the methods in two ways. 1) On the full dataset, we randomly hold-out 10% of the true values for use as a test set and repeated the process 1000 times (Monte Carlo cross-validation). 2) On a reduced and almost complete subset of varieties, we varied the percentage of missing values from 10% to 70% by random deletion. In all cases, we evaluated the performance on the original values using normalized root mean squared error. For the full dataset we also obtained performance statistics by variety and by year. MissForest provided average errors of 17% (3 days) at budbreak, 14% (4 days) at flowering, 14.5% (7 days) at veraison, and 17% (3 days) at maturity. We completed the imputations of the Conegliano dataset, one of the world’s most extensive and varied phenological time series and a steppingstone for future climate change studies in grapes. The dataset is now ready for further analysis, and a rigorous evaluation of imputation errors is included.

Climate change and economic challenge – strategies for vinegrowers, winemakers and wine estates

For wine areas around the world, nature and climate are becoming factors of production whose endowment becomes a stake beyond the traditional economic factors: labor, capital, land. They strongly influence agricultural and environmental conditions for production.

Can varietal ‘apricot’ aroma of Viognier wine be controlled with clonal selection and harvest timing?

Recent wine-like reconstitution sensory studies confirmed that several monoterpenes were the key aroma compounds in the perception of an ‘apricot’ aroma attribute in Viognier wine.

Preliminary studies on polyphenol assessment by Fourier transform-near infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) in grape berries

NIR spectroscopy has widely been tested in viticulture as powerful alternative to traditional analytical methods in the field of quality evaluation. NIR instruments have been used for assessing must and wine quality features in several works, but little information regarding their application on whole berries for polyphenol determination is available.
