A microwave digestion ICP-MS method for grapevine bark elemental profiling

Abstract

Aim: A rapid and reproducible microwave (MW)-assisted acid digestion protocol was developed to determine the elemental composition of grapevine bark samples using ICP-MS. A representative grapevine bark sample and a similar matrix Certified Reference Material (CRM) were used for method optimisation. The method was subsequently applied to a set of New Zealand vineyard grapevine bark samples consisting of seven different grape varieties.

Methods: A homogenous bark sample and a CRM (ERMCD281) were treated with 16 different acid combinations and microwave digestion settings prior to ICP-MS analysis. 54 chemical elements were measured in the samples. Calibration standards were prepared in matrix matched solutions from single elements standards (Inorganic Ventures, USA).

Results: The acid digestion combination of HNO3, H2O2, and HCl with a MW digestion of 15 minutes was shown to give optimal results. 48 elements could be measured in a representative grapevine bark sample using this procedure and 27 elements in a reference CRM sample. Ca was the most abundant element present in all grape variety bark samples.

Conclusions

A method was developed and validated for an MW digestion of grapevine bark samples using ICP-MS. The application of this new method showed that bark from different grape varieties varies in elemental composition within a vineyard site.

The impact of selected odorant combinations in wine oxidative aroma and their interactive role on the olfactory perception

It is widely known the impact that oxidation has on wine sensory degradation and eventually, in the shortening of its longevity.

Microbial resources for improving the sustainability in oenology

Sulphur dioxide has long been considered an irreplaceable additive due to its numerous significant positive effects during winemaking and beyond.

Isolation of indigenous yeast strains from the Purcari and Trifești wine centers in the Republic of Moldova and evaluation of their impact on the quality of dry red wines

In the conducted research, 30 yeast strains from red grape varieties were isolated from the Purcari wine center, and 28 yeast strains from red grape varieties were isolated from the Trifești wine center in the Republic of Moldova.

Terroirs and legal protection

Le concept AOC permet, par une délimitation précise, la mise en valeur de terroirs particulièrement adaptés à la viticulture. Seuls les terroirs ainsi identifiés peuvent produire des vins portant le nom de l’AOC. Le nom de cette AOC ne peut être utilisé que pour des vins issus de terroirs compris dans l’aire d’appellation, sous peine de sanctions pénales. La délimitation ainsi opérée participe à la protection du nom de l’AOC. A l’inverse, le terroir délimité n’est pas protégé.

Etude des effets millésime, situation et sol à partir d’un observatoire du Gamay en beaujolais

Des expérimentations sur Gamay ont été réalisées en Beaujolais de 2000 à 2006 sur 10 parcelles d’AOC différentes. De nombreuses mesures ont été effectuées à différents stades (vigne, baies récoltées, vinification et bouteille avec ou sans vieillissement). Ces mesures sont également de natures différentes (données phénologiques, analytiques, dégustation). Des analyses de la composition des sols sont également disponibles.
