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.

Study of the evolution of tannins during wine aging by mass spectrometry monitoring of oxidation markers released after chemical depolymerization

Among the many compounds in wine, condensed tannins play an important role in the organoleptic properties of the products; they are partly responsible for astringency, bitterness and also contribute to the color. This research work aims to study the oxidation state of these bio-heteropolymers which is an important lock in the analysis of processed products in order to better control their quality. Indeed, their identification remains at present a challenge because of the large heterogeneity of their degrees of polymerization (DP) based on 4 monomers (epicatechin, catechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin-3-O-gallate) thus multiplying the number of oxidation products.

Exploring diversified service offerings in the Spanish wine industry

The spanish wine industry stands at a crossroads, transitioning from a traditional emphasis on wine production to a landscape increasingly characterized by diversified service offerings. This paper delves into the nuances of servitization within spanish wineries, investigating the determinants of servitization and the impact of these diversified services on revenue streams. The paper posits hypotheses concerning the influence of various factors, such as winery size, location, market orientation, ownership structure, market competition, regulatory environment, market demand, firm capabilities, owner characteristics, and firm age, on the adoption of diversified service offerings in spanish wineries. The methodology involves comprehensive regression analysis to unravel the drivers of servitization within this context.

The impact of vine nitrogen status on aroma potential expression in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sauvignon blanc

In interaction with climate and genetic or human factors, the soil is a major component of the viticulture terroir. The mineral composition of the soil influences vine performance and wine sensory attributes. Among the elements that vines take from the soil, nitrogen is the one that has the strongest impact on vine physiology, vigor and grape composition. In addition to its major effect on primary metabolites in berries, nitrogen plays also a decisive role in the secondary metabolism, especially in the production of key compounds for berries quality, like volatile thiols, methoxypyrazines and glutathione (GSH).
