Hyperspectral imaging and cnn for on‐the‐go, non‐destructive assessment of grape composition in the vineyard

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study ‐ Knowledge of the spatial‐temporal variation of the grape composition within a vineyard may assist decision making regarding sampling and vineyard management, especially if selective harvest is aimed. To have a truthful picture of the spatial‐temporal dynamics of grape composition evolution during ripening in a vineyard, a huge amount of measurements at different timings and spatial positions are required. Unfortunately, the quick in‐field measurement of a vast number of samples is very hard for simple variables such as total soluble solids (TSS), and impossible in the case of analyzing secondary metabolites, like anthocyanin concentrations. The goal of this study was the in‐field assessment and mapping of the TSS, acidity parameters and anthocyanin concentrations in a Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyard, using non‐destructive, on‐the‐go hyperspectral imaging (HSI).

Material and methods ‐ HSI of grapevine canopies was carried out using a line‐scan hyperspectral camera working in the Vis‐NIR range (400‐1000 nm) installed in all‐terrain‐vehicle, moving at 5 km/h in a commercial Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyard, under natural illumination conditions. Measurements were carried out at several dates during the ripening period over two consecutive seasons in 2017 and 2018. TSS, titratable acidity (TA), pH and anthocyanin concentrations analyses were also performed using gold standard, wet chemistry methods for model building and validation purposes. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) were applied for the development of regression models. The prediction results from the regression models were used for mapping (using GIS software) the evolution and distribution of grape composition in time–several datesand space–the vineyard plot.

Results ‐ Prediction models were generated for the different grape composition parameters, yielding 2 determination coefficients (R ) above 0.85 for TSS and TA and ~0.70 for pH and anthocyanin concentrations respectively. The built maps illustrated the seasonal dynamics of TSS and anthocyanin accumulation in the studied vineyard. The obtained results evidenced the potential of hyperspectral imaging acquired on‐the‐go for the non‐destructive, robust and massive assessment of TSS and total anthocyanin contents in grape berries in the vineyard. HIS may become a useful tool for decision‐ making on harvest selection and berry fate for winemaking.

European consumer preference for wines made from fungus resistant grape varieties

Fungus resistant grape varieties (FRGV or PIWI) offer many benefits such as less pesticide use or premium prices for enhanced sustainability. Still, winemakers are concerned about inferior wine quality. This study evaluates how European wine consumers assess wines made from new FRGVs in comparison to traditional V. vinifera varieties. Most of them were grown in the same vineyard. Four white (Calardis Blanc, Muscaris, Sauvignac, Cabernet Blanc) und three red (Satin Noir, Cabernet Cortis, Laurot) FRGV were compared to Riesling, Sauvignon blanc, Muskateller, Cab. Sauvignon and Merlot. For each FRGV, different styles were vinified using standardized protocols.

Red Grenache variety in Rhône Valley : impact of “terroir” and vintages on the aromatic potential of the grapes

The Grenache Noir grape variety, due to its originality and its representativeness, contributes very directly to the quality and typicality of the wines of the Rhône Valley. It is generally appreciated for its varied aromatic palette and for the roundness and suppleness it gives to wines. Since 1995, the Rhodanien Institute has set up a network of reference plots representative of the different types of terroir present in the southern zone of the Côtes du Rhône Appellation (TRUC, 1997; VAUDOUR et al, 1996 ) . Publications on the aromatic composition of grapes and wines are very abundant, but only a few articles have appeared on the Grenache grape variety PAUMES et al., 1986).

Mining terroir influence on bioactive polyphenols from grape stems: A correlation-network-driven approach to spatialize metabolomics data

In viticulture, the concept of terroir is often used to enlighten the environmental-based typicity of grapevines grown in a local area however its scientific basis remains under debate. Grape polyphenols as key player of the plant defense system enables adaptation to environmental changes and so far, form a unique metabolic component to investigate the terroir influence.
