Multispectral fluorescence sensitivity to acidic and polyphenolic changes in Chardonnay wines – The case study of malolactic fermentation

International audience; In this study, stationary and time-resolvedfluorescence signatures, were statistically and chemometrically analyzed among three typologies of Chardonnay wines (A, B and C) with the objectives to evaluate their sensitivity to acidic and polyphenolic changes. For that purpose, a dataset was built using Excitation Emission Matrices of fluorescence (N = 103) decomposed by a Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC), andfluorescence decays (N = 22), mathematically fitted, using the conventional exponential modeling and the phasor plot representation. Wine PARAFAC component C4 coupledwith its phasor plot g and s values enable the description of malolactic fermentation (MLF) occur…

Development of multidimensional spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to facilitate the monitoring of native fluorescence of biomolecules.

There is a need for the development of rapid and reliable characterization tools for biological media. The objective of this thesis is to develop a method based on the acquisition of excitation-emission matrices of fluorescence (EEMF) coupled with the use of fluorescence lifetime measurement in spectroscopy and microscopy (FLIM). These techniques have great potential due to their speed, low sample volume required for analysis, non-destructive sample analysis, and low cost. This project focused on two biological media of great interest to the food industry: wine and bacterial spores. On one hand, we have a beverage representing a large world market, and on the other hand, a food contaminant …
