The application of right-angle fluorescence spectroscopy as a tool to distinguish five autochthonous commercial Greek white wines

ABSTRACT: White wine is among the most widely consumed alcoholic beverages. Varietal discrimination of wines has received increasing attention. Today's consumers require a sense of authenticity and are deterred by falsehood or misrepresentation in product marketing. However, wine can involve various types of frauds, which directly affects the distribution of wine in national and international markets. Right-angle fluorescence spectroscopy is a simple and rapid analytical technique that in combination with chemometric algorithms, constitutes a novel method for wine authentication. In this study, the stepwise-Linear Discriminant Analysis algorithm was applied in three representative spectral regions related to phenolic compounds for the purpose of distinguishing white wines according to the grape variety. The wavelength at 310 nm attributed to the hydroxycinnamic acids and stilbene provided a higher classification rate (95.5%) than the λex 280 and 295 nm regions (79.8%), suggesting that these compounds are highly related to the botanical origin of samples. The chemometric models were validated utilizing cross-validation and an external validation set to enhance the robustness of the proposed methodology. The above-mentioned methodology constitutes a powerful tool for the varietal discrimination of white wines and can be used in industrial setting. The ultimate goal of this study is to contribute to the efforts towards the authentication of Greek white wine which will eventually support producers and suppliers to remain competitive and simultaneously protect the consumers from fraudulent practices. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • Acquisition of fluorescence fingerprint from 140 commercial Greek white wines.• Qualitative study of the main fluorometric regions by standard phenolic compounds.• Distinguish autochthonous commercial Greek white wines based on EEMs using SLDA.• Development of a novel, cheap, and rapid methodology for wine authentication.• Reliable chemometric model by internal and external validation.

Project description:The authenticity of tea has become more important to the industry while the supply chains become complex. The quality and price of tea produced in different regions varies greatly. Currently, a rapid analytical method for testing the geographical origin of tea is missing. XRF is emerging as a screening technique for mineral and elemental analysis with applications in the traceability of foodstuffs, including tea. This study aims to develop a reliable multivariate classification model using XRF spectroscopy to obtain the mineral content. A total of 75 tea samples from tea producing countries throughout the world were analysed. After variable shortlisting, 18 elements were used to construct the multivariate models. Tea origin was determined by classifying the tea into 5 major geographical regions producing most of the global tea. PCA showed initial clustering in some regions, although the types of teas included in the study (black, green, white, herbal) showed no discrete cluster membership. The prediction power of each classification model developed was determined by using two multivariate classifiers, SIMCA and PLS-DA, against an independent validation set. The average overall correct classification rates of PLS-DA models were between 54-85% while the results of SIMCA models were between 70-84% resolving the poor clustering initially shown by PCA. This study demonstrated the potential of geographical origin of tea prediction using elemental contents of tea. Naturally, the classification can be linked not only to origin but to the type of tea as well.Practical applicationWholesalers and retailers need a rapid and robust screening tool to confirm the origin and type of tea they sell to consumers. X-Ray fluorescence spectroscopy proved a good technique for achieving this in commercial teas sourced worldwide. Building on multivariate models, broad classification was accomplished both in terms of origin (Asian vs non-Asian) and in tea type with zero sample preparation and low cost of analysis.
