Data fusion approaches for sensory and multimodal chemistry data applied to storage conditions

Abstract

AIM: The need to combine multimodal data for complex samples is due to the different information captured in each of the techniques (modes). The aim of the study was to provide a critical evaluation of two approaches to fusing multi-modal chemistry and sensory data, namely, multiblock multiple factor analysis (MFA) and concatenation using principal component analysis (PCA).

METHODS: Wines were submitted to sensory analysis using Pivot©Profile (Thuillier et al. 2015) and chemical analysis in four modes: antioxidant measurements (AM), volatile compounds composition (VCC), ultraviolet-visible light (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry (Mafata et al. 2019), and infra-red (IR) spectroscopy. Correspondence analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), and multiple factor analysis (MFA) were used to model data under the data analysis steps involving data cleaning, visualizing, modelling and evaluation (Pagès 2004). Percentage explained variation (%EV) and regression vector (RV) coefficients were used as comparative evaluation parameters between data models (Abdi 2007).

RESULTS: IR spectral data were used as an example of the assessment of the need for data cleaning/pre-processing. Similarities in MFA and high RV coefficients indicated that the raw (unprocessed data) could be used for the data fusion. High RV coefficients and MFA proximity between the antioxidants and UV-Vis measurements indicated an overlap between the type of information contained in the two. The differences between the information captured in each of the five modes can be seen in the different measurements, from the knowledge of the theory/ ontext behind the technique, and statistically. Statistically, the differences are measured and visualised by a lack of overlap (redundancy) in the MFA and its accompanying cluster analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

The %EV when performing PCA are higher than with MFA, a consequence of fusing big data sets from various modes and not necessarily a direct result of the relationships among the data sets. Therefore, the %EV was ruled out as a reliable measure of the differences in informational value between MFA and PCA fusion strategies. RV coefficients, of which MFA were highest, were the best measurements of the performance of data fusion approaches. MFA demonstrated greater appropriateness as a statistical tool for fusing multi-modal data.

Defoliation timing impacts berry secondary metabolites and sunburn damage

Sunburn is a physiological disorder that leads to yield and quality losses in a range of fruits such as grapes and apples. It affects the visual appearance and the composition of the fruit, leading to irreversible changes and ultimately, cell death in extreme situations.

Evolution of astringency during the ripening of red grapes through the tribological astringency index

The phenolic composition of red grapes is one of the most important quality parameters.

Predicting oxygen consumption rate by tannins through sweep linear voltammetry and machine learning models

Nowadays, it is well known that oxygen significantly impacts wine quality. The amount of oxygen wine consumes during the winemaking process depends on several factors, such as storage conditions, the number of rackings, the materials used for aging, and the type of closure chosen for bottling.

Development and validation of a standardized oxidation assay for the accurate measurement of the ability of different wines to form “de novo” oxidation-related aldehydes

From the standpoint of wine aroma oxidation there are two effects observed: aroma degradation of oxygen sensitive compounds (polyfunctional mercaptans) and the appearance of new substances with high aromatic power (acetaldehyde, methional, phenylacetaldehyde, sotolon, alkenals, isobutanal and 2, 3-metylbutanals) (1-5). According to our experience, Strecker aldehydes are compounds with highest sensory relevance in the oxidative degradation of many wines (5-7).

Characterisation of viticultural and oenological practices in two French AOC in the middle Loire Valley: comparison of different methods to extract information from a survey among winegrowers

The type of wine is determined by environmental, plant materials and human factors. These factors are numerous and interact together, which makes it difficult to determine the hierarchy of their effects
