Beyond classical statistics – data fusion coupled with pattern recognition

Abstract

AIM: Patterns in data obtained from wine chemical and sensory evaluations are difficult to infer using classical statistics. Pattern recognition can be resolved by coupling data fusion with machine learning techniques, possibly leading to new hypotheses being formed. This study demonstrates the applicability of two pattern recognition approaches using as case study involving Chenin Blanc wines (recently bottled and after two years storage) from young (35 years) vines.

METHODS: Sensory (sorting (Mafata et al. 2020)) and chemical (NMR: nuclear magnetic resonance, HRMS: high resolution mass spectrometry, and UV-Vis: ultraviolet spectrophotometry) data were collected for the young and aged (two years in the bottle) wines. Data sets were combined using multiple factor analysis (MFA). Exploratory unsupervised cluster analysis was performed by agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) and Fuzzy-k means (Bezdek 1981). Optimal cluster conditions were found for both methods and the cophenetic coefficient was used to assess the most confident clustering method.

RESULTS: Since large data sets were fused, the models were very complex. There were no consistent clustering patterns when varying clustering conditions, signalling high similarity between samples. The samples could not confidently be distinguished from one another even at the highest optimized conditions. Although Fuzzy-k means gave more confident clustering, it was still not sufficient for solving classification issues in this sample set.

CONCLUSIONS:

Fuzzy-k means was better at resolving the natural grouping of samples. Coupled to data fusion, it could potentially lead to better pattern recognition, especially for oenological chemical and sensory data. The fuzzy approach should be explored, keeping in mind it is more sensitive to small differences in the data compared to classical statistics.

What drives Indications of Geographical Origin protection and governance mechanisms in the U.S. and European contexts? A contribution of the social sciences

There are fundamentally two different ways in which indications of geographical origin (igos) can be protected. The us approach favors the pre-existing trademark system through collective marks (cms), while the eu approach favors a maximalist approach via a sui generis system which promotes appellations of origin (aos). A consensus however emerges regarding the fundamental protection of origin against misleading, confusing and dilutive uses. Previous literature discusses these competing igo logics from historical, legal and international trade perspectives. In this paper, we depart from the field of social sciences, in particular from recent advancements in the well-established literature on proximities, in order to provide a reflection on the different logics underpinning the aos and cms systems.

Screening of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosine related metabolites in commercial wines by an UHPLC/MS validated method.

Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a bioactive phenolic compound with antioxidant activity. Yeast synthetise tyrosol from tyrosine by the Ehrlich pathway which is subsequently hydroxylated to HT. The aim of the present work is to develop and validate an UHPLC–HRMS method to assess the metabolites involved in this pathway as well as to screen Spanish commercial wines for HT bioactive compound.

Local ancient grapevine cultivars to face future viticulture

Among the different strategies to cope with the negative impacts of climate change on viticulture, the exploitation of genetic diversity is one of the most promising to adapt to new conditions and maintain wine production and quality. One of the biggest concerns in the context of climate change is to improve water use efficiency (WUE). In this way, the use of genotypes that present a better response to drought and high WUE is a key issue. In this work, physiological performance analysis was conducted to compare the water deficit stress (WDS) responses of local and widespread grapevines cultivars. Leaf gas exchange, water use efficiency (WUE) at different levels (leaf and long-term WUE (∆13C)), leaf osmotic adjustment and other water relations parameters were determined in plants under well-watered and WDS conditions alongside assessment of the levels of foliar hormones concentrations. Results denote that local cultivars displayed better physiological performance under WDS as compared to the widely-distributed ones. he results corroborate the hypothesis that better stomatal control allows increasing leaf WUE under drought as occurred in the local Callet cv.; but the minority local cultivar Escursac cv. showed high WUE under both treatments. In this case, high WUE can be related to maintaining higher photosynthetic activity under drought. The different mechanisms underlying the better performance under WDS and high WUE of minority local cultivars are discussed.
