Volatile analysis of Botrytis contaminated grapes using headspace solid phase microextraction GC-MS

Abstract

Grapes infected with grey mould due Botrytis cinerea are widespread in vineyards during certain growing conditions.  Excessive infection levels may lead to decreased yields and the formation of off flavours in wine made from infected grapes. To assist in timely vineyard management that minimises yield and quality losses, decision support tools that correlate early detection of Botrytis infection and quantification of potential off flavour development is desirable.In this study, laboratory infection of whole bunches/ single berries with Botrytis cinerea to create a range of grey mould contamination in Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Semillon were undertaken. After SPME GC-MS detection of grape homogenate, 8 out of 22 volatile compounds, including 3-octanol, 3-octanone, 1,5-dimethylnapthalene and 1,5-dimethyltetralin, were identified from VIP score and selectivity ratio, and excellent predictive model of Botrytis cinerea infection levels (determined by ergosterol measurement, antigen capture and qPCR) were developed using PLS and PLS2. These compounds, with high predictive accuracy, could be considered as potential biomarkers for rapid MS techniques in early stage.

Prospects of thermal imaging as a non-invasive tool to assess water status for irrigation scheduling in commercial vineyards

Aim: Irrigated viticulture is expanding worldwide mainly as a short-term adaptation strategy to climate change. Plant-based methods are increasingly being used for irrigation scheduling in commercial vineyards. Canopy temperature (TC) has long been recognized as an indicator of plant water status. TC, but also the thermal stress indices, e.g. crop water stress index (CWSI) and stomatal

Impact of press fractioning on current and phenolic compositions of Pinot noir and Pinot meunier wines

In the Champagne’s region, a complete press cycle is a series of pressure increases (squeezes) and decreases (returns). After alcoholic fermentation, the two wines (the “cuvee” and the “tailles”) obtained from grape juice fractions exhibit strong differences for numerous characteristics. Nevertheless, there is no study of the impact of the press cycle, followed after each pressure increase (22-28 steps), on wine colour, current analyses and phenolic composition. So, the aim of this study (vintage 2020) was to investigate the composition changes of Pinot noir and Pinot meunier wines, produced from 22-28 grape juices isolated for each complete pressing cycle.
