Pulsed fluorescence SO2 analyzers are widely used for atmospheric monitoring. They are accurate, portable, sensitive and their price are reduced compared to advanced techniques like gas chromatography with sulfur chemiluminescence detection (GC-SCD).
Climate change is drastically modifying grape composition and wine quality. As consequence, must and wines are becoming unbalanced, with high sugar concentration, increased alcohol content, lower acidity, excessive astringency, color instability and also a rise in the incidence of tartaric instability is being showed.
Quercetin-3-glucoside, a grape flavonol defence metabolite, is extracted during winemaking and may undergo subsequent degradation in wines. Hydrolysation reactions lead to the formation of the aglycone quercetin, which presents limited solubility in the wine matrix and can induce visible precipitations.
Fermentative maceration in white wine production, involving extended contact with grape skins and seeds, has gained interest in recent years. The impact of this winemaking technique on wine composition and sensory properties remains underexplored.
