Monitoring gas-phase CO2 in the headspace of champagne glasses through diode laser spectrometry

Abstract

During Champagne or sparkling wine tasting, gas-phase CO2 and volatile organic compounds invade the headspace above glasses [1], thus progressively modifying the chemical space perceived by the consumer. Gas-phase CO2 in excess can even cause a very unpleasant tingling sensation perturbing both ortho- and retronasal olfactory perception [2]. Monitoring as accurately as possible the level of gas-phase CO2 above glasses is therefore a challenge of importance aimed at better understanding the close relationship between the release of CO2 and a collection of various tasting parameters.

Based on the tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), a diode laser spectrometer (namely, the CO2-DLS) dedicated to monitor gas-phase CO2 in the headspace of champagne glasses was developed [3,4]. The concentration of gas-phase CO2 found in the headspace of champagne glasses served under multivariate conditions was accurately monitored, all along the first 10 minutes following the action of pouring. Our results show the strong impact of various tasting conditions (such as the volume of wine dispensed, the glass shape, the wine temperature, or the level of effervescence, for example) on the release of gas-phase CO2 above the champagne surface. Moreover, a recent upgrading of the CO2-DLS allowed us to evidence that the concentration of gas-phase CO2 in the headspace of a champagne glass is far from being homogeneous in either space or time, with much higher gas-phase CO2 concentrations close to the wine interface.

BIOPROTECTION BY ADDING NON-SACCHAROMYCES YEASTS : ADVANCED RESEARCH ON THIS PROMISING ALTERNATIVE TO SO₂

Sulphur dioxide has been used for many years for its antimicrobial, antioxidant and antioxydasic properties in winemaking but nowadays, it is a source of controversy. Indeed, consumers are more attentive to the naturalness of their foods and beverages and the legislation is changing to reduce the total SO₂ levels allowed in wines. To limit and replace the doses of sulphur dioxide applied, winemakers can now use bioprotection consisting in live yeast addition as alternative,seems to be promising. This process, lightly used in from the food industry, allows to colonize the environment and limit the development or even eliminate undesirable microorganisms without altering the sensory properties of the product.

Sustainability as system innovation: sustainability as system innovation: a returnable system for glass wine bottles

Introduction increasing sustainability is essential and a societal challenge, requiring fundamental changes in behaviour and attitudes. This applies to both producers and consumers. For the wine industry in particular, such a change is a major challenge. An eip-agri research project is evaluating the introduction of a returnable glass system in the german wine industry as a key solution for increasing sustainability. Given the need for change associated with a returnable system, the project is theoretically grounded in systems innovation, as this approach provides solutions for complex, transformative change.
