Assessing macro-elements contents in vine leaves and grape berries of Vitis vinifera using near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – The cultivated vine (Vitis vinifera) is the main species cultivated in the world to make wine. In 2017, the world wine market represents 29 billion euros in exports, and France contributes 8.2 billion (28%) to this trade, making it a traditional market of strategic importance. Viticulture is therefore a key sector of the French agricultural economy. It is in this context that the nutritional diagnosis of the vine is of real strategic interest to winegrowers. Indeed, the fertilization of the vine is a tool for the winegrower that allows him to influence and regulate the quality of the wine. Nowadays, nutrition analysis is made with CHNS analyzer for elemental particles, and mass-spectroscopy for macro and microelements. Such methods are destructive and time consuming, then results could be obsolete for the vine grower. Near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics tools allows to developed models of prediction that can provide accurate information about nutrition status of the vine in the field. In this study, we concentrate on the relative amount of Carbon [C], Hydrogen [H], Nitrogen [N], Sulphur [S] in dry matter (DM) and the C:N ratio.

Material and methods – 252 samples of different organs (leaves blade, leaves petioles, pea sized berries and berries at véraison) of 4 varieties (Muscat, Chasselas, Négrette and Sauvignon blanc) were analyzed. Spectrum were taken on both fresh material and dried ones with a reflectance spectrometer. The spectra were pre-processed using multiple scatter correction (MSC) and 1st and 2nd order Savitsky-Golay derivative (D1 and D2), before developing the cross-validation models using partial least square (PLS) regression and test it on a prediction set.

Results – The coefficient of determination in prediction (r²), the roots mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and the ratio of performance of prediction (RPD) were obtained for C (0.49, 14.6% of DM and 1.33 on fresh material with MSC, 0.45, 15.4% of DM and 1.26 on dry material with MSC), H (0.56, 1.71% of DM and 1.45 on fresh material with D1, 0.49, 1.88% of DM and 1.32 on dry material with D1), N (0.91, 1.12% of DM, 3.32 on fresh material with raw spectra, 0.95, 0.84% of DM and 4.39 on dry material with MSC), S (0.47, 0.319% of DM and 1.31 on fresh material with MSC, 0.46, 0.322% of DM and 1.30 on dry material with D2) and C:N ratio (0.85, 8.20 and 2.58 on fresh material with raw spectra, 0.87, 7.55 and 2.80 on dry material with D2). Results show that the near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy can be used to assessing the level of nitrogen nutrition in vine and the C:N ratio. All model performance could be improved by increasing the number of samples.

Use of the stics crop model as a tool to inform vineyard zonages

STICS est un modèle de culture développé à l’INRA (France) depuis 1996. Il simule les bilans de carbone, d’eau et d’azote dans le système culture-sol, piloté par des données climatiques journaliéres. Il calcule à la fois des variables agricoles (rendement en quantité et qualité) et environnementales (pertes en eau et en azote). Une des originalités de STICS est son adaptabilité à de nombreuses cultures (herbacées, ligneuses, annuelles, pérennes) rendue possible par le choix de paramètres génériques et d’options de formalismes. Le travail présenté traite, dans un premier temps, des spécificités de STICS pour la vigne en terme de bilan trophique, de fonctionnement énergétique et hydrique et d’estimation des teneurs en sucre en en eau du raisin. Nous montrons ensuite diverses sorties du modèle qui permettent de caractériser des terroirs du vignoble des Côtes du Rhône.

Dynamic agrivoltaics, climate protection for grapevine driven by artificial intelligence

The year-on-year rise in temperatures and the increase in extreme weather events due to climate change are already having an impact on agriculture. Among the perennial fruit species, grapevine is already negatively impacted by these events through an acceleration of its phenology, more damage from late frosts or through an increase in the sugar level of the berries (and therefore the alcoholic degree of the wine) and a decrease of acidity, impacting the wine quality. Sun’Agri, in partnership with INRAE, Chambre d’agriculture du Vaucluse, Chambre d’agriculture des Pyrénées-Orientales and IFV, developed a protection system based on dynamic agrivoltaics to protect grapevine. It consists of photovoltaic solar panels positioned above the crop, high enough not to impede the passage of agricultural machinery, and tiltable from +/- 90° to adjust the level of shading on the vineyard. These smart louvers, driven by artificial intelligence (physical models & plant growth models), are steered according to the plant’s needs and provide real climate protection.

OPTIMIZING THE IDENTIFICATION OF NEW THIOLS AT TRACE LEVEL IN AGED RED WINES USING NEW OAK WOOD FUNCTIONALISATION STRATEGY

During bottle aging, many thiol compounds are involved in the expression of bouquet of great aged red wines according to the quality of the closure.1,2 Identifying thiol compounds in red wines is a challenging task due several drawbacks including, the complexity of the matrix, the low concentration of these impact compounds and the amount of wine needed.3,4
This work aims to develop a new strategy based on the functionalisation of oak wood organic extracts with H₂S, to produce new thiols, in order to mimic what can happen in red wine during bottle aging. Following this approach and through sensory analysis experiments, we demonstrated that the vanilla-like aroma of fresh oak wood was transformed into intense “meaty” nuances similar to those found in old but non oxidized red wines.

Dimethyl sulfide transfer through wine closures during bottle aging: implications for wine aroma management

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a volatile sulfur compound with a complex role in wine aroma, contributing both desirable and undesirable sensory characteristics depending on its concentration (1).

Genotype-environment interaction of three cultivars of vitis vinifera L. cultivated in two different environments of the Ischia island: effect on production and quality; aspects of the quality of the obtained wines

Pendant une période de trois années le comportement productif et qualitatif de trois cépages tous indigènes de la région de Campania (Italie méridionale) dans deux terroirs de l’île d’Ischia a été étudié; ceci pour obtenir quelques indications préliminaires sur le comportement productif et qualitatif des cépages et sur la qualité des vins.
