Fluorescence spectroscopy with xgboost discriminant analysis for intraregional wine authentication

Abstract

AIM: This study aimed to use simultaneous measurements of absorbance, transmittance, and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (A-TEEM) combined with chemometrics as a rapid method to authenticate wines from three vintages within a single geographical indication (GI) according to their subregional variations.

METHODS: The A-TEEM technique (Gilmore, Akaji, & Csatorday, 2017) has been applied to analyse experimental Shiraz wines (n = 186) from six subregions of Barossa Valley, South Australia, from 2018, 2019 and 2020 vintages. Absorbance spectra and EEM fingerprints of the wines were recorded and the data were fused for multivariate statistical modelling with extreme gradient boost discriminant analysis (XGBDA) as reported by Ranaweera, Gilmore, Capone, Bastian, and Jeffery (2021) to classify wine according to their subregions. The cross-validated (k =10, Venetian blinds) confusion matrix score probabilities of classes were used to assess the accuracy of the classification models. A similar procedure was also carried out to discriminate subregions for a single vintage year. Basic chemical parameters (alcohol %v/v, pH, titratable acidity, and volatile acidity) were modelled with the partial least squares regression (PLSR) using A-TEEM data and reference chemical data.

RESULTS: Results have shown an unprecedented 100% correct classification of wines according to subregion across the three vintages and 98% accuracy for subregion in a single vintage year. Other model performance parameters of confusion matrix, including sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1 score, were also showing the highest values (1.0) for each of the subregions. PLSR modelling revealed that A-TEEM data can also be used for a rapid assessment of basic wine chemical parameters. Notably, the results confirmed a distinct resolution among subregions despite their relatively close proximity within a single GI, indicating the effect of terroir on intraregional variation.

CONCLUSIONS

The sensitivity of A-TEEM allied with multivariate statistical analysis of fluorescence data facilitated the accurate classification of Shiraz wines according to the subregion of origin and production year. As a robust analytical method, A-TEEM can help identify the drivers of regional expression of wine and can potentially be developed for use within the supply chain to guarantee the provenance indicated on the label and to provide an assurance of quality. Overall, A-TEEM with XGBDA modelling continues to be shown as an accurate wine authentication tool that could even be applied at a subregional level.

Climate influence on the grapevine phenology and anthocyanins content in wines from the Skopje vineyard area, Republic of Macedonia

The phenological stages and the content of the anthocyanins of non-irrigated cultivars Blatina, Vranec, Kratoshija, Prokupec and Stanushina were study

Grapevine cane pruning extract enhances plant physiological capacities and decreases phenolic accumulation in canes and leaves

Vine cane extracts are a valuable byproduct due to their rich content of polyphenols, vitamins, and other beneficial compounds, which can affect and benefit the vine and the grapes. This study aims to evaluate the response of grapevine plants to irrigation with water supplemented with a vine cane extract, both at physiology response and phenolic composition in different parts of the plant (root, trunk, shoot, leaf, and berry).
Cane extract was obtained by macerating crushed pruning residues with warm water (5:1) and pectolytic enzymes. Two-year-old potted plants were irrigated with water (Control) while others were irrigated with cane extracts, either at 1:4 (w/v, cane extract/water; T 1:4) or at 1:8 (w/v, cane extract/water; T 1:8).

A tool for catching mice in wine: development and application of a method for the detection of mousy off-flavour compounds in wine

Over the past two years, the AWRI has received 69 wine samples suspected of being affected by mousy off-flavour. The character has been mostly observed in white wines.

UNEXPECTED PRODUCTION OF DMS POTENTIAL DURING ALCOOLIC FERMENTATION FROM MODEL CHAMPAGNE-LIKE MUSTS

The overall quality of aged wines is in part due to the development of complex aromas over a long period (1.) The apparition of this aromatic complexity depends on multiple chemical reactions that include the liberation of odorous compounds from non-odorous precursors. One example of this phenomenon is found in dimethyl sulphide (DMS) which, with its characteristic odor truffle, is a known contributor to the bouquet of premium aged wine bouquet (1). DMS supposedly accumulates during the ten first years of ageing thanks to the hydrolysis of its precursor dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSp.) DMSp is a possible secondary by-product from the degradation of S-methylmethionine (SMM), an amino acid iden- tified in grapes (2), which can be metabolized by yeast during alcoholic fermentation.

Drought effect on aromatic and phenolic potential of seven recovered grapevine varieties in Castilla-La Mancha region (Spain)

The effects of climate change are seriously affecting the quality of wine grapes. High temperatures and drought cause imbalances in the chemical composition of grapes. The result is overripe grapes with low acidity and high sugar content, which produce wines with excessive alcohol content, lacking in freshness and not very aromatic. As a consequence, the search of varieties with capacity of produce quality grapes in adverse climate conditions is a good alternative to preserve the sustainability of vineyards. In this work, quality parameters of seven Vitis vinifera L. cultivars (five whites and two reds) recently recovered from extinction and grown under two different hydric regimes (rainfed and irrigated) were analyzed during the 2020 vintage. At harvest time, weight of 100 berries, must physicochemical parameters (brix degree, total acidity, malic acid, pH), and carbon and oxygen isotope ratios (δ13C, δ18O) were determined. Subsequently, varietal aroma potential index (IPAv) and total polyphenol index (TPI) were analyzed. Quality parameters, IPAv and TPI, showed significant differences between varieties and water regimes. Both red varieties, Moribel and Tinto Fragoso, stood out for their high aromatic and phenolic potential, which was higher under rainfed regime. Regarding to white varieties, Montonera del Casar and Jarrosuelto stood out in terms of varietal aroma potential. Montonera del Casar high acidity in its musts and Jarrosuelto showed the highest berry weights.
