Application of Hyper Spectral Imaging for early detection of rachis browning in table grapes

Abstract

Rachis browning is a common abiotic stress that occurs during postharvest storage, leading to a decrease in commercial value of table grapes and resulting in significant economic losses. Its early detection could enable the implementation of preventive strategies. In this report, we show the feasibility of a non-destructive early detection of browning based on Hyper Spectral Imaging (HSI). Furthermore, rachis samples were subjected to transcriptomic analysis to understand putative pathways causing differences in browning within varieties. The onset of visible browning of rachis was quantified with ImageJ software analysis in six different table grape varieties (red and white). The varieties investigated are novel table grapes obtained in an ongoing breeding program at CREA-VE in Southern Italy. After harvesting, the bunches were packed in cardboard boxes and stored for two weeks at 2°C with 95% relative humidity to evaluate the shelf-life. The berries were not removed from the grape bunch to follow the onset of browning on the same bunches. Anyway, due to differences in cluster and berry size, the internal area of the rachides was not always visible. Therefore, changes were followed in the apical portion of the rachides. A Specim IQ camera was employed for image detection in the laboratory and the Specim IQ Studio software was used to detect Areas Of Interest (AOIs). Differences in both the visible and Near Infra-Red (NIR) spectral regions were detected before the onset of browning of the rachides. It was possible to observe different changes in the spectral profiles among the varieties.

Exploring the dynamic between yeast mannoproteins structure and wine stability

Mannoproteins are macromolecules found on the surface of yeast cells, composed of hyperbranched polysaccharide negatively charged chains by mannosyl-phosphate groups, fixed to a protein core. during the alcoholic fermentation and aging on lees, these mannoproteins are released from the yeast cell wall and become the main yeast-sourced polysaccharide in wine. due to their techno-functional properties, commercial preparations of mannoproteins can be used as additives to better assure tartaric and protein stability.

Analysing consumers’ decision-making process for non-alcoholic spirit drinks and dehalcolized aromatized wines 

In recent years, the consumption of alcoholic beverages is changing, driven by evolving consumer preferences and societal trends, including a wave of health consciousness. Among these changes, the emergence and proliferation of nolo (no alcohol/low alcohol) alcoholic beverages have gained significant attention within the industry. Nolo alcohol beverages are produced to emulate the appearance, aroma, and taste of alcoholic beverages, potentially facilitating a sense of social integration when consuming a product that closely resembles alcohol.

Advances in the chemistry of rosé winemaking and ageing

The market share of Rosé wine in France has grown from 11 % to 32 % over the last 20 years. Current trends are towards rosé wines of a lighter shade of pink, and where possible, containing a greater concentration in varietal thiols. Grape varieties, the soil on which they are grown, viticultural practices and winemaking technology all impact the polyphenols, color and aromas of rosé wines.

Update knowledge about the presence of condensed tannins in grapes and their contributions to astringency perception

Condensed tannin is a principle group of polyphenol compounds derived from grape, greatly contributing to the bioactivity and the sensory perception of wine. Condensed tannins present as a heterogeneous mixture in nature involving various degrees of both polymerization and galloylation. Even though multiple attempts focusing on fractionation of grape condensed tannins by solid-phase have been conducted over the past decades, few individual tannins have been purified and identified. Hence, our knowledge on grape and wine condensed tannin moleculars has to be limited at the several known monomeric, dimeric and trimeric proanthocyanidins
