Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the wine industry, it is really important to know critical chemical parameters and attributes of grapes and wines, and it is necessary to do so quickly and precisely. The color of red wine is an important quality parameter, because it is the first characteristic perceived by consumers, and therefore, great attention should be paid to it.

A number of different non-destructive techniques could be investigated as possible instrumental methods for the quality evaluation of oenological and viticultural products. Among them, spectroscopic techniques have gained attention as candidates to efficiently face this task.

This Special Issue is intended to present and discuss thoroughly the use of spectroscopic tools to evaluate several important parameters in grapes and wine samples. This Special Issue should pave the way for the efficient use of these techniques in the oenological sector.

We thank you in advance for your interest and cooperation and look forward to hearing from you.

Kindest regards,

Assoc. Prof. Jose Miguel Hernandez-Hierro

Overripe seeds from sun-dried grapes submitted to postharvest dehydration constitute a scarcely investigated class of vinification byproduct with limited reports on their phenolic composition and industrial applications. In this study, Raman spectroscopy was applied to characterize a selection of overripe seed byproducts from different white grapes (cv. Moscatel, cv. Pedro Ximénez and cv. Zalema) submitted to postharvest sun drying. The Raman measurements were taken using a 1064 nm excitation laser in order to mitigate the fluorescent effect and the dispersive detection scheme allowed a compactness of the optical system. Spectroscopic data were processed by a principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality and partner recognition. The evolution of the Raman spectrum during the overripening process was compared with the phenolic composition of grape seeds, which was determined by rapid resolution liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (RRLC/MS). A multivariate processing of the spectroscopic data allowed the classification of overripe seeds according to the grape variety and the monitoring of stages of the postharvest sun drying process.

Developing chemometric models from near-infrared (NIR) spectra requires the use of a representative calibration set of the entire population. Therefore, generally, the calibration procedure requires a large number of resources. For that reason, there is a great interest in identifying the most spectrally representative samples within a large population set. In this study, principal component and hierarchical clustering analyses have been compared for their ability to provide different representative calibration sets. The calibration sets generated have been used to control the technological maturity of grapes and total phenolic compounds of grape skins in red and white cultivars. Finally, the accuracy and precision of the models obtained with these calibration sets resulted from the application of the selection algorithms studied have been compared with each other and with the whole set of samples using an external validation set. Most of the standard errors of prediction (SEP) in external validation obtained from the reduced data sets were not significantly different from those obtained using the whole data set. Moreover, sample subsets resulting from hierarchical clustering analysis appear to produce slightly better results. Full article

Texture characteristics are valuable parameters in the perceived quality and overall acceptability of fresh fruit. The characterization of grape texture attributes, such as firmness and crunchiness, is usually performed by sensory analysis or instrumental texture analysis. Both methodologies are destructive. Hence, it is not possible to test multiple times or perform any other analysis on the same sample. In this article, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was applied to intact berries of table grape cv. Regal Seedless. NIR spectra were employed to predict both the physical parameter “hardness”, which is correlated with the crunchiness of berry flesh and the sweetness, which is correlated with the total soluble solids content (TSS, as °Brix). The chemometric analysis was carried out exclusively based on an open-source software environment, producing results readily usable for any operator, besides the specific level of experience with NIR spectroscopy.

Recently, 1H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy was presented as a viable option for the quality assurance of foods and beverages, such as wine products. Here, a complex chemometric analysis of red and white wine samples was carried out based on their 1H NMR spectra. Extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) machine learning algorithm was applied for the wine variety classification with an iterative double cross-validation loop, developed during the present work. In the case of red wines, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Blue Frankish samples were successfully classified. Three very common white wine varieties were selected and classified: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. The models were robust and were validated against overfitting with iterative randomization tests. Moreover, four novel partial least-squares (PLS) regression models were constructed to predict the major quantitative parameters of the wines: density, total alcohol, total sugar and total SO2 concentrations. All the models performed successfully, with R2 values above 0.80 in almost every case, providing additional information about the wine samples for the quality control of the products. 1H NMR spectra combined with chemometric modeling can be a good and reliable candidate for the replacement of the time-consuming traditional standards, not just in wine analysis, but also in other aspects of food science.

The wine-making industry generates a considerable amount of grape pomace. Grape seeds, as an important part of pomace, are rich in bioactive compounds and can be reutilized to produce useful derivatives. The nutritional properties of grape seeds are largely influenced by the cultivar, which calls for effective identification. In the present work, the spectral profiles of grape seeds belonging to three different cultivars were collected by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Three conventional supervised classification methods and a deep learning method, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN), were applied to establish discriminant models to explore the relationship between spectral responses and cultivar information. Interval partial least squares (iPLS) algorithm was successfully used to extract the spectral region (402.74–426.87 nm) relevant for elemental composition in grape seeds. By comparing the discriminant models based on the full spectra and the selected spectral regions, the CNN model based on the full spectra achieved the optimal overall performance, with classification accuracy of 100% and 96.7% for the calibration and prediction sets, respectively. This work demonstrated the reliability of LIBS as a rapid and accurate approach for identifying grape seeds and will assist in the utilization of certain genotypes with desirable nutritional properties essential for production rather than their being discarded as waste.
