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.

‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ (Vitis vinifera L.) berry skin flavonol and anthocyanin composition is affected by trellis systems and applied water amounts

Trellis systems are selected in wine grape vineyards to mainly maximize vineyard yield and maintain berry quality. This study was conducted in 2020 and 2021 to evaluate six commonly utilized trellis systems including a vertical shoot positioning (VSP), two relaxed VSPs (VSP60 and VSP80), a single high wire (SH), a high quadrilateral (HQ), and a guyot (GY), combined with three levels of irrigation regimes based on different crop evapotranspiration (ETc) replacements, including a 25% ETc, 50% ETc, and 100% ETc. The results indicated SH yielded the most fruits and accumulated the most total soluble solids (TSS) at harvest in 2020, however, it showed the lowest TSS in the second season. In 2020, SH and HQ showed higher concentrations in most of the anthocyanin derivatives compared to the VSPs. Similar comparisons were noticed in 2021 as well. SH and HQ also accumulated more flavonols in both years compared to other trellis systems. Overall, this study provides information on the efficacy of trellis systems on grapevine yield and berry flavonoid accumulation in a currently warming climate.

Rootstock mediated responses of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) metabolism and physiology to combined water deficit and salinity stress in Syrah grafts

Water deficit and salinity are increasingly affecting the viticulture and wine industry. These two stresses are intimately related; understanding the physiological and metabolic responses of grapevines to water deficit, salinity and combined stress is critical for developing strategies to mitigate the nega- tive impacts of these stresses on wine grape production. These strategies can include selecting more tolerant grapevine cultivars and graft combinations, improving irrigation management, and using soil amendments to reduce the effects of salinity. For this purpose, understanding the response of grape- vine metabolism to altered water balance and salinity is of pivotal importance.

Multivariate strategies for red wines classification using stilbenes and flavonols content

Bioactive polyphenols from grapes and wines, like stilbenes and flavonols (SaF), are often determined to nutritional evaluation, but also for many other purposes. The objective of this study was to quantify SaF in red wines from “Campanha Gaúcha”, a large and young viticultural region from South Brazil. Moreover, through statistical analysis, evaluate the influence of these compounds according to varieties, production process, harvest years and micro-regions of cultivation. A total of 58 samples of red wines were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) for determination of trans-resveratrol (R), quercetin (Q), myricetin (M), kaempferol (K), trans-e-viniferin (V) and their precursor, cinnamic acid (C).

Uve e vini in vulcaniti basiche anorogeniche dei lessini meridionali, impronta petrochimica e assimilazione di metalli pesanti

Nel 2009 sono stati prelevati e analizzati mediante XRF (X-ray fluorescence) campioni di suolo, in vigneti sperimentali siti nelle province di Vicenza e di Ancona. Sono stati inoltre determinati in 2 campioni di mosto e 2 di vino delle varietà Verdicchio e Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, ed in 2 di uva Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, gli elementi in traccia mediante ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry).

Postharvest elicitors and metabolic changes in wine grape berries

Wine grape berries respond to postharvest treatments with specific gaseous elicitors in terms of metabolic changes and composition. Short-term (3 days) high (30 KPa) CO2 treatment affects phenol compound concentration in skins of ‘Trebbiano toscano’ berries.
