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.

Within-vineyard variability in grape composition at the estate scale can be assessed through machine-learning modeling of plant water status in space and time. A case study from the hills of Adelaida District AVA, Paso Robles, CA, USA

Aim: Through machine-learning modelling of plant water status from environmental characteristics, this work aims to develop a model able to predict grape phenolic composition in space and time to guide selective harvest decisions at the estate scale.

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.

“Gheo” per la vitivinicoltura: un progetto per la produzione dl vini dl alta qualità

Il settore primario, ed in particolare quello agricolo, sta attraversando un periodo particolarmente delicato. Sia gli aspetti della produzione che quelli della commercializzazione vengono infatti messi in discussione da nuovi indirizzi economici e tecnologici.

Impact of agrivoltaics on berry ripening: preliminary results for the white cv. Viosinho

Climate change poses significant challenges for viticulture, particularly in Mediterranean regions like Portugal, where extreme heat and drought conditions are becoming more frequent.

Novel analytical technologies for wine fingerprinting in and beyond the laboratory

For characterization, sensory designing and authentication rapid analytical technologies have become available. Some, like Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry allow a rapid spectrum of the volatile compounds of wines. Combined with chemometrics wines can be characterized. The same approach can be used to calculate the results of virtual mixtures and allow formulation of constant quality blends. Other new techniques and portable devices based on spectroscopy allow measurements on production sites and in grocery stores, even for the smart consumer. We will present some examples of the application of these techniques for authentication of wines, both in the laboratory and on site.
