Combination of NIR multispectral information acquired from a ground moving vehicle with AI methods to assess the vine water status in a Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) commercial vineyard

Abstract

Increasing water scarcity and unpredictable rainfall patterns necessitate efficient water management in grape production. This study proposes a novel approach for monitoring grapevine water status in a commercial vertically-shoot-positioned Vitis vinifera L. Tempranillo vineyard using non-invasive spectroscopy with a battery of different AI methods to assess vineyard water status, that could drive precise irrigation. A contactless, miniature NIR spectrometer (900-1900 nm) mounted on a moving vehicle (3 Km/h) was employed to collect spectral data from the vines’ northeast side along six dates in season 2021.Grapevines were monitored at solar noon using stem water potential (Ψs) as reference parameter of plant water status. At each date, 36 measurements of Ψs were taken making a total of 396 data in the whole season. AI techniques, including linear regression, gaussian process regression (GPR) support vector machine (SVM), and neural networks, trained with Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG) algorithms were implemented in MATLAB (using the Regression Learner and Natural Net Fitting apps) to analyze the spectral data and predict vine water status. The optimized GPR model achieved the best performance, with a determination coefficient (R2P) above 0.83 and a root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.112 MPa. However, several neural network models trained with the LM algorithm exhibited superior performance, with R2P values over 0.92 and RMSEP values of approximately 0.080 MPa. This study demonstrates the potential of non-invasive spectroscopy combined with AI methods for accurate prediction of grapevine water status, paving the way for precision irrigation in vineyards.

Characteristics of ecological production of grape and wine in Prizren’s vineyard territory in Yugoslavia

Prizren’s vineyard territory-y assigned for ecological production of grapes and wine includes 1. 200 hectares of vineyard located in five separate localities which belongs to the P KB “Kosovo vina”, Mala Krusa in Prizren. Division of vineyard territory in zones was carried out in 1974. Pertaining to the vineyards, the climate and soil conditions have been studied and determined as well as topographie establishing of vineyard boundaries.

Effect of riboflavin on the longevity of white and rosé wines

Light is a fundamental part at sales points which influences in the conservation of wines, particularly in those that are sold in transparent glass bottles such as rosé wines and increasingly white wines. The photochemical effect known as “light-struck taste” can cause changes in the aromatic characteristics of the wine. This “light-struck taste” is due to reactions triggered by the photochemical sensitivity of riboflavin (RBF).

OPTIMIZATION OF EXTRACTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN LC-HRMS METHOD TO QUANTIFY GLUTATHIONE IN WHITE WINE LEES AND YEAST DERIVATIVES

Glutathione is a natural tripeptide composed of l-glutamate, l-cysteine and glycine, found in various foods and beverages. In particular, glutathione can be found in its reduced (GSH) or oxidized form (GSSG) in must, wine or yeasts¹. Numerous studies have highlighted the importance of GSH in wine quality and aging potential². During winemaking, especially during aging on lees, GSH helps prevent the harmful effects of oxidation on the aroma of the wine³. Nevertheless, the amounts of GSH/GSSG present in wine lees are often unknown and the choice of operating conditions (quantity of lees and aging time) remains empirical.
