In this study, stationary and time-resolved fluorescence signatures were statistically and chemometrically analyzed among three typologies of Chardonnay wines with the objectives to evaluate their sensitivity to acidic and polyphenolic changes. For that purpose, a dataset was built using Excitation Emission Matrices of fluorescence (N=103) decomposed by a Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC) and fluorescence decays (N=22), mathematically fitted, using the conventional exponential modeling and the phasor plot representation. Wine PARAFAC component C4 coupled with its phasor plot g and s values enable the description of malolactic fermentation (MLF) occurrence in Chardonnay wines. The combination of multispectral fluorescence parameters opens a novel routinely implementable methodology to diagnose fermentative processes.
