Application of cyclic voltammetry to the classification of enological tannins in relationship to oxygen consumption rate and botanical origin 

Abstract

Enological tannins are a diversified group of winemaking products that vary in several aspects such as chemical composition, botanical origin, and production method. In consideration of their richness in phenolic compounds, one of their main application in vinification is related to their antioxidant capacity, in particular their ability to consume oxygen during red wine maturation. Given the great diversity of compositional features of commercial tannins, there is a generalized interest towards the development of analytical approaches that can assist in correct classification of their chemical family (condensed or hydrolizable tannins), botanical origin (oak, grape skin, grape seeds, etc) as well as of enological properties such as oxygen consumption rate (ocr). Cyclic voltammetry (cv) has been previously proposed as a rapid and effective method for the analysis of phenolic compounds, although to date its applications to tannin analysis are limited. In the present study, ocr of 45 (14 from oak, 15 from grape and 15 from nut gall) commercial enological tannins was determined in red wine, whereas electrochemical features of the same samples were acquired using a cv method discriminant analysis was used for data analysis, allowing to identify the electrochemical features that characterized the three groups of tannins. Moreover, using machine learning models such as support vector machine (svm), it was found that the botanical origin of the tannins could be predicted with high accuracy based on their voltammograms. Indeed, the svm showed very highly performance on both the training set and the validation set (100% in both cases). Regarding ocr, the halving time of oxygen was chosen as the reference parameter. Here too, the svm demonstrated very high accuracy in ocr. The results indicate that cyclic voltammetry has the potential to discriminate between different types of enological tannins and to provide insights into their ability to consume dissolved oxygen.

Applicazione della voltammetria ciclica alla classificazione dei tannini enologici in relazione al tasso di consumo di ossigeno e all’origine botanica

I tannini enologici sono un gruppo diversificato di prodotti enologici che variano per diversi aspetti, come la composizione chimica, l’origine botanica e il metodo di produzione. In considerazione della loro ricchezza in composti fenolici, una delle loro principali applicazioni nella vinificazione è legata alla loro capacità antiossidante, in particolare alla loro capacità di consumare l’ossigeno durante la maturazione del vino rosso. Data la grande diversità delle caratteristiche compositive dei tannini commerciali, c’è un interesse generalizzato verso lo sviluppo di approcci analitici che possano aiutare a classificare correttamente la loro famiglia chimica (tannini condensati o idrolizzabili), l’origine botanica (quercia, buccia d’uva, semi d’uva, ecc.) E le proprietà enologiche come il tasso di consumo di ossigeno (ocr). La voltammetria ciclica (cv) è stata precedentemente proposta come metodo rapido ed efficace per l’analisi dei composti fenolici, anche se ad oggi le sue applicazioni all’analisi dei tannini sono limitate. Nel presente studio, l’ocr di 45 tannini enologici commerciali (14 da quercia, 15 da uva e 15 di galla) è stato determinato nel vino rosso, mentre le caratteristiche elettrochimiche degli stessi campioni sono state acquisite utilizzando un metodo cv per l’analisi dei dati è stata utilizzata l’analisi discriminante, che ha permesso di identificare le caratteristiche elettrochimiche che hanno caratterizzato i tre gruppi di tannini. Inoltre, utilizzando modelli di machine learning come la support vector machine (svm), si è riscontrato che l’origine botanica dei tannini poteva essere prevista con elevata accuratezza sulla base dei loro voltammogrammi. Infatti, la svm ha mostrato ottime  sia sul set di addestramento che su quello di validazione (100% in entrambi i casi). Per quanto riguarda l’ocr, è stato scelto come parametro di riferimento il tempo di dimezzamento dell’ossigeno. Anche in questo caso, la svm ha dimostrato un’accuratezza molto elevata nell’ocr. I risultati indicano che la voltammetria ciclica ha il potenziale di discriminare tra diversi tipi di tannini enologici e di fornire indicazioni sulla loro capacità di consumare ossigeno disciolto.

Application de la voltampérométrie cyclique à la classification des tanins œnologiques en fonction du taux de consommation d’oxygène et de l’origine botanique

Les tanins œnologiques constituent un groupe diversifié de produits vinicoles qui varient sous plusieurs aspects tels que la composition chimique, l’origine botanique et la méthode de production. Compte tenu de leur richesse en composés phénoliques, l’une de leurs principales applications en vinification est liée à leur capacité antioxydante, en particulier leur capacité à consommer de l’oxygène pendant la maturation du vin rouge. Etant donné la grande diversité des caractéristiques de composition des tanins commerciaux, il existe un intérêt généralisé pour le développement d’approches analytiques qui peuvent aider à une classification correcte de leur famille chimique (tanins condensés ou hydrolysables), de leur origine botanique (chêne, peau de raisin, pépins de raisin, etc.) Ainsi que de leurs propriétés œnologiques telles que le taux de consommation d’oxygène (ocr). La voltampérométrie cyclique (cv) a déjà été proposée comme une méthode rapide et efficace pour l’analyse des composés phénoliques, bien que ses applications à l’analyse des tanins soient limitées à ce jour. Dans la présente étude, la roc de 45 (14 de chêne, 15 de raisin et 15 de noix de galle) tanins œnologiques commerciaux a été déterminée dans le vin rouge, tandis que les caractéristiques électrochimiques des mêmes échantillons ont été acquises à l’aide d’une méthode cv l’analyse discriminante a été utilisée pour l’analyse des données, permettant d’identifier les caractéristiques électrochimiques qui caractérisent les trois groupes de tanins.en outre, l’utilisation de modèles d’apprentissage automatique tels que le support vector machine (svm) a permis de constater que l’origine botanique des tannins pouvait être prédite avec une grande précision sur la base de leurs voltammogrammes.en effet, le svm a montré des performances très élevées à la fois sur l’ensemble d’entraînement et sur l’ensemble de validation (100 % dans les deux cas). En ce qui concerne la roc, le temps de réduction de moitié de l’oxygène a été choisi comme paramètre de référence. Ici aussi, le svm a fait preuve d’une très grande précision dans la roc. Les résultats indiquent que la voltampérométrie cyclique a le potentiel de discriminer les différents types de tanins œnologiques et de fournir des informations sur leur capacité à consommer de l’oxygène dissous.

Challenges and opportunities for increasing organic carbon in vineyard soils: perspectives of extension specialists

Context description and research question: an increasing number of farmers are considering the impact of conservation practices on soil health to guide sustainable management of vineyards. Understanding impacts of soil management on soil organic carbon (SOC) is one lever for adoption of agroecological practice with potential to help maintain or improve soil health while building SOC stocks to mitigate climate change (Amelung et al., 2020).

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere due to human activities are leading to a rise in the average temperature of the atmosphere. among the scenarios established by the un’s intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC), only two enable us to achieve the minimum objective of the paris agreements signed at cop 21 in 2015: staying below +2°c after 2050. both scenarios forecast a rapid reduction in GHG emissions as early as 2025, thanks to strong international cooperation, the priority given to sustainable development and responsible consumer choices.

Climats: a model of terroir-based winegrowing recognized by UNESCO

In Burgundy, a climat has nothing to do with the weather but accurately designates a named vine plot, often centuries-old, which produces a singular wine. This wine is the combination of history, the natural environment (relief, type of soil, exposure to the sun), a grape variety and know-how going back thousands of years. The grapes of each climat are harvested separately and the wine is made from a single grape variety and has a unique name featured on the bottle.

Oenological potential of wines and agronomical characterisation of grapes from five white resistant Italian varieties at Serra Gaúcha, Southern Brazil

Rio grande do sul is the main grape producing state in Brazil, with the largest wine-growing area, responsible by 90% of the national production of wines and grape juices. Serra Gaúcha is the main vitivinicultural region, where around 15% of the area is destined to produce wines from vitis vinifera L. grapes. This region presents high rainfall during the grape maturation cycle, a factor that leads to great risk of attacks by fungal pathogens. the use of resistant varieties can reduce the cost and quantity of spraying, improving wine quality, focusing on a sustainable vitiviniculture.

Training vineyards resilience to environmental variations by managing vine water use

The challenges of the century for viticulture relate to coping with climate change and the loss of biodiversity in a downturning socio-economic context. Now more than ever, the vine and wine industry needs to be resilient to maintain and ensure a future for its heritage. An innovation of capital importance, in line with recently published research, deals with developing new methods of training our inherited and newly planted vineyards to better withstand environmental variations such as drought and heatwaves but also unevenly distributed rains and temperatures.
