Application of cyclic voltammetry to the classification of enological tannins in relationship to oxygen consumption rate and botanical origin 

Abstract

Enological tannins are a diversified group of winemaking products that vary in several aspects such as chemical composition, botanical origin, and production method. In consideration of their richness in phenolic compounds, one of their main application in vinification is related to their antioxidant capacity, in particular their ability to consume oxygen during red wine maturation. Given the great diversity of compositional features of commercial tannins, there is a generalized interest towards the development of analytical approaches that can assist in correct classification of their chemical family (condensed or hydrolizable tannins), botanical origin (oak, grape skin, grape seeds, etc) as well as of enological properties such as oxygen consumption rate (ocr). Cyclic voltammetry (cv) has been previously proposed as a rapid and effective method for the analysis of phenolic compounds, although to date its applications to tannin analysis are limited. In the present study, ocr of 45 (14 from oak, 15 from grape and 15 from nut gall) commercial enological tannins was determined in red wine, whereas electrochemical features of the same samples were acquired using a cv method discriminant analysis was used for data analysis, allowing to identify the electrochemical features that characterized the three groups of tannins. Moreover, using machine learning models such as support vector machine (svm), it was found that the botanical origin of the tannins could be predicted with high accuracy based on their voltammograms. Indeed, the svm showed very highly performance on both the training set and the validation set (100% in both cases). Regarding ocr, the halving time of oxygen was chosen as the reference parameter. Here too, the svm demonstrated very high accuracy in ocr. The results indicate that cyclic voltammetry has the potential to discriminate between different types of enological tannins and to provide insights into their ability to consume dissolved oxygen.

Applicazione della voltammetria ciclica alla classificazione dei tannini enologici in relazione al tasso di consumo di ossigeno e all’origine botanica

I tannini enologici sono un gruppo diversificato di prodotti enologici che variano per diversi aspetti, come la composizione chimica, l’origine botanica e il metodo di produzione. In considerazione della loro ricchezza in composti fenolici, una delle loro principali applicazioni nella vinificazione è legata alla loro capacità antiossidante, in particolare alla loro capacità di consumare l’ossigeno durante la maturazione del vino rosso. Data la grande diversità delle caratteristiche compositive dei tannini commerciali, c’è un interesse generalizzato verso lo sviluppo di approcci analitici che possano aiutare a classificare correttamente la loro famiglia chimica (tannini condensati o idrolizzabili), l’origine botanica (quercia, buccia d’uva, semi d’uva, ecc.) E le proprietà enologiche come il tasso di consumo di ossigeno (ocr). La voltammetria ciclica (cv) è stata precedentemente proposta come metodo rapido ed efficace per l’analisi dei composti fenolici, anche se ad oggi le sue applicazioni all’analisi dei tannini sono limitate. Nel presente studio, l’ocr di 45 tannini enologici commerciali (14 da quercia, 15 da uva e 15 di galla) è stato determinato nel vino rosso, mentre le caratteristiche elettrochimiche degli stessi campioni sono state acquisite utilizzando un metodo cv per l’analisi dei dati è stata utilizzata l’analisi discriminante, che ha permesso di identificare le caratteristiche elettrochimiche che hanno caratterizzato i tre gruppi di tannini. Inoltre, utilizzando modelli di machine learning come la support vector machine (svm), si è riscontrato che l’origine botanica dei tannini poteva essere prevista con elevata accuratezza sulla base dei loro voltammogrammi. Infatti, la svm ha mostrato ottime  sia sul set di addestramento che su quello di validazione (100% in entrambi i casi). Per quanto riguarda l’ocr, è stato scelto come parametro di riferimento il tempo di dimezzamento dell’ossigeno. Anche in questo caso, la svm ha dimostrato un’accuratezza molto elevata nell’ocr. I risultati indicano che la voltammetria ciclica ha il potenziale di discriminare tra diversi tipi di tannini enologici e di fornire indicazioni sulla loro capacità di consumare ossigeno disciolto.

Application de la voltampérométrie cyclique à la classification des tanins œnologiques en fonction du taux de consommation d’oxygène et de l’origine botanique

Les tanins œnologiques constituent un groupe diversifié de produits vinicoles qui varient sous plusieurs aspects tels que la composition chimique, l’origine botanique et la méthode de production. Compte tenu de leur richesse en composés phénoliques, l’une de leurs principales applications en vinification est liée à leur capacité antioxydante, en particulier leur capacité à consommer de l’oxygène pendant la maturation du vin rouge. Etant donné la grande diversité des caractéristiques de composition des tanins commerciaux, il existe un intérêt généralisé pour le développement d’approches analytiques qui peuvent aider à une classification correcte de leur famille chimique (tanins condensés ou hydrolysables), de leur origine botanique (chêne, peau de raisin, pépins de raisin, etc.) Ainsi que de leurs propriétés œnologiques telles que le taux de consommation d’oxygène (ocr). La voltampérométrie cyclique (cv) a déjà été proposée comme une méthode rapide et efficace pour l’analyse des composés phénoliques, bien que ses applications à l’analyse des tanins soient limitées à ce jour. Dans la présente étude, la roc de 45 (14 de chêne, 15 de raisin et 15 de noix de galle) tanins œnologiques commerciaux a été déterminée dans le vin rouge, tandis que les caractéristiques électrochimiques des mêmes échantillons ont été acquises à l’aide d’une méthode cv l’analyse discriminante a été utilisée pour l’analyse des données, permettant d’identifier les caractéristiques électrochimiques qui caractérisent les trois groupes de tanins.en outre, l’utilisation de modèles d’apprentissage automatique tels que le support vector machine (svm) a permis de constater que l’origine botanique des tannins pouvait être prédite avec une grande précision sur la base de leurs voltammogrammes.en effet, le svm a montré des performances très élevées à la fois sur l’ensemble d’entraînement et sur l’ensemble de validation (100 % dans les deux cas). En ce qui concerne la roc, le temps de réduction de moitié de l’oxygène a été choisi comme paramètre de référence. Ici aussi, le svm a fait preuve d’une très grande précision dans la roc. Les résultats indiquent que la voltampérométrie cyclique a le potentiel de discriminer les différents types de tanins œnologiques et de fournir des informations sur leur capacité à consommer de l’oxygène dissous.

Smoke tainted wine – what now?

The frequency of bushfires close to wine regions around the world has increased in the last two decades. The economic losses incurred when grapes and wines are discarded due to ‘smoke taint’ are substantial (i.e., hundreds of millions of dollars). Efforts to mitigate and ameliorate smoke taint are therefore crucial. Chardonnay, rosé and cabernet sauvignon wines made from grapes exposed to smoke during the 2020 wildfires in eastern Australia were subjected to various amelioration techniques: the addition of activated carbons, molecularly imprinted polymers (mips), and a proprietary resin (either directly, or following membrane filtration); spinning cone column (scc) distillation; and finally, transformation into vinegar.

Egg allergens in wine. Validation of a new automated method for ovalbumin quantification

Ovalbumin (ova), a natural clarifying protein, is particularly suitable for clarifying red wines. It helps improve the tannic and polyphenolic stability of the wine by removing the most astringent tannins and contributing to soften and refine the structure. Ova binds to suspended particles, proteins, polysaccharides, and, to a lesser extent, tannins through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, forming large complexes that can be removed from the wine through fining and/or filtration before bottling.

Three new Apulian seedless varieties available for the table grape supply chain

The table grape industry in Europe is undergoing significant changes. For instance, in Italy, the national register of vine varieties was established in 1969, and since then, many varieties of table grapes have been registered. In the first thirty years, from 1969 to 1999, 62 seeded and 24 seedless varieties were registered. In the subsequent period, from 2000 to the present day, 23 seeded varieties and 99 seedless varieties were registered.

Non-destructive his based analysis for shelf-life evaluation of table grape 

Fast, accurate, and non-destructive analytical techniques based on hyperspectral imaging (hsi) represent effective tools for food quality evaluation. A visible change in the appearance of a fresh product often negatively impacts the perceived quality from a consumer’s point of view.

Acumulación de materia seca, orientada a valorar la fijación de carbono, en función del aporte de riego y la pluviometría, en Cabernet-Sauvignon a lo largo de 15 años

The vineyard is capable of fixing carbon in its permanent structure from atmospheric carbon dioxide, through the process of gas exchange and the performance of photosynthesis. The photosynthetic capacity of the vineyard depends on the water resources that the plant may have at its disposal, so the amount of dry matter, derived from the processed photosynthates, that it can store will depend on the water regime of the crop, both in the annually renewable organs as in permanent parts.
