NIR based sensometric approach for consumer preference evaluation

Abstract

Climate change has had a global impact on grape production, and as a result, developing table grape varieties that can withstand climate-related threats has become a significant goal. However, it is equally important to ensure that these new grape varieties meet the preferences of consumers. To achieve this goal, a procedure has been developed that combines sensory analysis with spectroscopic data collected in the NIR region. Each sample was analyzed using both traditional analytical techniques and non-destructive NIR spectroscopy. The FT-NIR spectrophotometer used for this purpose is a TANGO (Bruker, Germany). The chemometric analyses were performed using the statistical software R version 4.1.2. The hedonic testing was performed using a 9-point hedonic scale which is the most widely used scale for measuring food acceptability. The NIR data sets were combined with the chemical, textural, and sensorial data to create multivariate models using interval partial least squares (iPLS) regressions or artificial neural networks (ANNs). The models produced in this way are applied to the spectra of samples that have undergone sensory analysis to predict their composition. This procedure enables non-destructive sensory analysis of new samples, as a single NIR spectrum is sufficient to quantify consumer appreciation and determine the chemical and physical characteristics of each berry. This information can then be used to identify the most suitable combinations for each target panel. Consumers could access this information via a QR code on the grape box, allowing them to select the perfect grape for their preferences.

Root phylloxeration in vineyards: impacts on Vitis vinifera under drought stress conditions

Root phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae) infestation poses a persistent threat to viticulture, yet its latent form (characterized by minimal above-ground symptoms) remains poorly understood, especially under drought stress exacerbated by climate change.

Determination of target compounds in cava quality using liquid chromatography. Application of chemometric tools in data analysis

According to the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), Cava is protected in the quality sparkling wines made by the traditional Champenoise method were the wine realize a second fermentation inside the own bottle1. Geographical and human peculiarities of each bottle are the main way for the final quality2. The aim of this study is to find correlations and which target compounds are the most representative of the quality of two different grape varieties, Pinot Noir and Xarel·lo. The quality of these two types of grapes is being studied for each variety by a previous classification of the vineyard made by the company who provided the samples (qualities A,B,C,D, being A the better one and D the worst one). The target compounds studied are organic acids and polyphenols. The methodology for the determination of organic acids is HPLC-UV/vis and for some of them the enzymatic methodology.

Merging fast sensory profiling with non-targeted GC-MS analysis for multifactorial experimental wine making

Wine aroma is influenced by several viticultural and oenological factors. In this study we used experimental wine making in a full factorial design to determine the impact of grapevine age, must turbidity, and yeast strain on the aroma of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Riesling wines. A recently developed, non-targeted SPME-GC-MS fingerprinting approach for wine volatiles was used. This approach includes the segmentation and mathematical transformation of chromatograms in combination with Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC) and subsequent deconvolution of important chromatogram segments.
