Arsenic in berries and its correlation with natural soil content: experience in Trentino (Italy)

Abstract

[English version below]

Il lavoro presenta l’evoluzione dei contenuti di arsenico nelle uve durante lo sviluppo e la maturazione, e la sua distribuzione nell’acino; verifica inoltre la relazione tra i contenuti di As nelle uve, nelle foglie e nei suoli caratterizzati da una dotazione differente e naturale di questo elemento.
Nella bacca l’arsenico cresce durante la stagione vegetativa e a maturazione è localizzato nella polpa (50%), nella buccia (40%) e in minima parte nei semi.
La correlazione tra i contenuti di As nelle bacche raccolte in 18 vigneti, nelle corrispondenti foglie e nei rispettivi suoli estratti con acetato di ammonio risulta statisticamente significativa.

The work illustrates arsenic content in grapes during development and ripening and its distribution in the berry, together with the relationship between As content in grape berries, leaves and soils where this element is naturally present in different amounts.
Arsenic increases in the berry during the growing season and is located in the pulp (50%), the skin (40%) and to a lesser extent in the seeds in ripe berries.
The correlation between the As content in berries collected in 18 vineyards and in the corresponding leaves and soils, extracted using ammonium acetate, is statistically significant.

Comparison of the aroma profile in total and partial dealcoholisation of white and red wines by reverse osmosis

The increasing demand for low-alcohol and non-alcoholic wines has led to the development of advanced dealcoholisation techniques aimed at preserving wine quality while reducing ethanol content. Reverse osmosis is one of the most widely used membrane-based processes for the selective removal of ethanol [1].

Discrimination of monovarietal Italian red wines using derivative voltammetry

Identification of specific analytical fingerprints associated to grape variety, origin, or vintage is of great interest for wine producers, regulatory agencies, and consumers. However, assessing such varietal fingerprint is complex, time consuming, and requires expensive analytical techniques. Voltammetry is a fast, cheap, and user-friendly analytical tool that has been used to investigate and measure wine phenolics.
