Poisoned Wine: Regulation, Chemical Analyses, and Spanish-French Trade in the 1930s
2018
This paper describes the resources, scientific spaces, and experts involved in the study of a mass poisoning caused by the drinking of arsenic-contaminated wine exported from Spain to France in 1932. Local and international periodicals record the poisoning of 300 French sailors, and stressed the commercial implications of the case. We discuss the reports prepared by different experts (mainly physicians, agricultural engineers, and customs chemists). Their work was not limited to preparing technical publications or chemical analyses; they also actively defended the quality of their local wine, and played a major role in the discussions regarding the regulation of the international wine marke…
Molecularly imprinted polymer solid phase extraction of fungicides from wine samples
2014
In order to preconcentrate iprodione fungicide in white wine samples, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) specific for iprodione were synthesized using two polymerization approaches: precipitation (MIPp) and bulk polymerization (MIPb). A comparison of the performance of the MIPs and the corresponding non-imprinted polymers (NIPs) was conducted in batch studies. In this case, the MIPp revealed better recognition properties toward iprodione in wine samples than the MIPb. The MIPp and MIPb were then used as sorbents on solid phase extraction cartridges (MISPEp and MISPEb consecutively) in order to pre-concentrate iprodione from white wine samples. The optimization of the MISPE elution step w…
Expressing forest origins in the chemical composition of cooperage oak woods and corresponding wines by using FTICR-MS.
2008
A non-targeted, ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometric, direct analysis of oak-wood extracts from two species (Quercus robur L. and Quercus petraea Liebl.) from three French forests, and of a wine aged in barrels derived therefrom has been performed to identify families of metabolites that could discriminate both the species and the geographical origin of woods. From 12 T ultra-high-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectra of wood extracts, hundreds of mass signals were identified as possible significant biomarkers of the two species, with phenolic and carbohydrate moieties leading the differentiation between Q. robur and Q. petraea, respectively, as corroborated …
Wine list engineering: categorization of food and beverage outlets
2009
PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to identify and measure the main standards of the wine lists of upscale restaurants.Design/methodology/approachWine lists of a sample of 50 upscale restaurants were analyzed. A cluster analysis was performed.FindingsThree differentiated profiles of restaurants are identified according to their wine list management: selection, specialization and complementarity.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was exploratory and similar studies need to be performed covering more geographic locations.Practical implicationsRestaurants differ in their current practices and key standards of their wine lists according to their positioning strategy. Upscale restaurant…
Application of finger span cross modality matching method (FSCM) by naive assessors for olfactometric discrimination of Gewürztraminer wines
2002
Abstract A gas-chromatography-olfactometric detection (GCO) using a direct estimation of odor intensities with the finger span (FSCM) was used to establish aroma profiles of three wines of gewurztraminer from different ‘terroirs’ of the Alsace region. The GCO-FSCM analyses of their hydroalcoholic wine extracts were performed using a group of untrained assessors. Forty-four olfactory signals were perceived by at least four assessors out of six and their intensities were scored in triplicate in each of the three wine extracts, amongst which ten of them were found discriminant between wines. The reliability of each assessor was studied on the basis of the finger span estimation repeatability, …
Color stability of Bulk-Fill composite restorations
2020
Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:29:50Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-11-01 Background: The color stability of the composite resin is an important property that influences its clinical longevity, which remains an inherent challenge to the material. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the color stability of bulk-fill resins when exposed to dye. Material and Methods: Cavities were prepared in 80 bovine incisors, which were randomly assigned into 4 groups (n = 20) according with the resin composite used: P60 (Control Group - Filtek P60, 3M/ESPE), FP (Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior, 3M/ESPE), SDR (SDR, Dentsply) and FF (Filtek Bulk Fill Flow, 3M/ESPE). A…

Multivariate Methods Based Soft Measurement for Wine Quality Evaluation
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/740754 Open Access Soft measurement is a new, developing, and promising industry technology and has been widely used in the industry nowadays. This technology plays a significant role especially in the case where some key variables are difficult to be measured by traditional measurement methods. In this paper, the quality of the wine is evaluated given the wine physicochemical indexes according to multivariate methods based soft measurement. The multivariate methods used in this paper include ordinary least squares regression (OLSR), principal c…
COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO TYPES OF WINEMAKING TANKS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF QUALITY WINES CV. NERO D’AVOLA
2012
The aim of this work is to compare two types of winemaking tanks, horizontal and vertical, using Nero d’Avola grapes, in order to assess the capacity of extraction of phenolic compounds that determine the quality of red wines. The study shows that in wine made by horizontal winemaking tanks, both anthocyanins and polyphenols have a higher decrease in time compared to wine made by the vertical type. The higher values of polyphenols found in the horizontal type appear to show that wines produced by this type of winemaking tank have a better quality in terms of health for antimicrobial, antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties of these molecules.
Polyphenol Oxidases from Wine Grapes
2017
Wine is produced from grapes which contain enzymes forming unfavorable dark polymers such as melanin, oxidizing proteins, and phenols which may influence their functions. Here we focus on the class of type-3 copper proteins presenting new insights on the structure, the occurrence during the ripening process and during wine making. Then, the reactivity of the enzymes on polyphenols from wine grapes are discussed and the possible consequences on health.
