Observation of Spontaneous Maturation Process of Young Wine by Application of the Voltammetric Quadruple Disk Iridium Sensor Combined with Chemometrics

Abstract

This paper describes a straightforward strategy, which enabled monitoring of the natural young wine maturation and calculation of the time elapsed since the harvest. Samples of four natural young wines from the Polish vineyard have been measured during the period of late fermentation (day 14th and 35th since the harvest) and early maturation (day 54th, 119th and 229th since the harvest). Wine fingerprints were recorded by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using a quadruple disc iridium electrode (q-DIrE). Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression distinguished wines at each stage of maturation and enabled determination the time passed since the start of winemaking process. The best results provided the PLS models for each of the wines separately, with a prediction error of 2.04−3.24 days and correlation (R2 Pred) ranging from 0.9989−0.9994. The more universal model, based on all wine samples, delivered also satisfactory results with RMSEP 4.13 days and R2 Pred equal to 0.9970. The experiments also showed that even short-term storage under various conditions clearly changed natural wines, and these changes can be observed using the voltammetric signal and PCA.

The Application of Picein Wax Carbon Composite Electrode for Plant-Based Milk Profiling

“…Utilizing the differential pulse voltammetry technique (DPV) and a glassy carbon electrode (GC), the data was obtained during the study of medical plant profiles [11]. The same technique, but in combination with ET, was used during the analysis of seasonal changes in honeys [12] and while observing the maturation process of young wine [13]. An e-tongue consisting of eight metal wires (Au, Pt, Rh, Ir, Cu, Co, Ag, and Ni) was utilized in conjunction with LAPV to profile five vegan milks [14].…”

Predicting Vodka Adulteration: A Combination of Electronic Tongue and Artificial Neural Networks

“…4,5 The most common tools for this purpose are PCA (Principal Component Analysis), PLS (Partial Least Square), and ANN. 6 An electronic tongue for observing the spontaneous maturation process of young wine was developed by Wójcik et al with the aid of PCA and PLS, 7 Ciosek and contributors in 2006 used an ET and Support Vector Machine (SVM) neural network to classify milk, 8 while Tahri et al in 2017 used an electronic tongue for classification of aroma using PCA, HCA (Hierarchical Cluster Analysis), PLS, and SVM. 9 Many sensory data have nonlinear behavior variables, and forcing a nonlinear model makes the model imprecise.…”
