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.

Association between dietary pattern and wine consumption and Alzheimer’s disease in a cohort from La Rioja (Spain)

Addressing modifiable risk factors is the most promising strategy to prevent/delay Alzheimer Disease (AD)[1]. The aim of the study was to establish the connections between dietetic habits, wine consumption and AD. Thus, 98 volunteers were recruited: 50 diagnosed as AD and 48 healthy/controls. The Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used for dietary patterns assessment and, based on these data, the Mind Diet Score was calculated. (Poly)phenol metabolites (especially derived from wine consumption) were analyzed by UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS in 24-h urine samples to confirm dietary (poly)phenol consumption.

The terroir of winter hardiness: a three year investigation of spatial variation in winter hardiness, water status, yield, and berry composition of riesling in the niagara region using geomatic technologies

Grapevine winter hardiness is a key factor in vineyard success in many cool climate wine regions. Winter hardiness may be governed by several factors in addition to extreme weather conditions – e.g. soil factors (texture, chemical composition, moisture, drainage), vine water status, and yield– that are unique to each site.

Influence of two yeast strains and different nitrogen nutrition on the aromatic compounds in Lugana wine

Lugana Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) wines are made from Turbiana grapes. The aroma of Lugana wines results from the combined contribution of esters, terpenes, norisprenoids, sulfur compounds and the benzenoid methyl salicylate. This study aims to investigate how volatile aroma compounds are affected by different nitrogen supplies and yeast strains.
