Plant proteins are biopolymers with interesting technological applications for the food industry due to their ability to interact with phenolic compounds such as anthocyanins. The 3D structure of the 7S globulin from grape seed was elucidated for the first time using a homology model. The constructed 3D model showed that grape seed 7S globulin...

Currently, the wine industry has an increasing interest in developing alternative solutions to traditional animal proteins fining agents. In this study, the impact of different protein fining agents on the turbidity, phenolic composition and color of 2-month and 12-month Syrah red wines was assessed. Wines fined with egg albumin and plant-based...

Imaging techniques have revolutionised the way quality is assessed in food products. Using cameras, it is possible to estimate not only the chemical composition of a product but also its geometric distribution. However, the limited range of detectors implies the use of different measuring equipment. The presence of small and discrete samples or...

The appearance of most of the commercialized olive oils involves both their color and turbidity depending on the different technologies used for their elaboration. This research has been carried out to study the filtration impact on the colorimetric changes of virgin olive oils. Naturally turbid olive oils were blended at different proportions...

Se ha demostrado la utilidad de la Colorimetría Triestímulo, específicamente el espacio de color CIELAB, en la evaluación de las implicaciones colorimétricas asociadas al fenómeno de copigmentación de antocianos en vinos tintos jóvenes. En general, la magnitud de copigmentación calculada por colorimetría osciló entre el 11% y el 44%. En todos...

The use of computer vision for estimating composition in food products has become wide spread in recent years, especially for products where by measuring colour or other spectral features, we are able to estimate the composition, variety, or ripeness. On the other hand, the appearance is one of the most worrying issues for producers due to its...

Grape skins or their by-products from wine production are rich sources of anthocyanins and various colorless phenolics, depending on the grape variety. Phenolics have strong antioxidant and anthocyanin stabilizing properties and help to produce functional anthocyanin colorants with improved stability. This study aimed to assess differences in...

With the purpose of modulating the copigmentation equilibria of red wines, an environmentally sustainable process was performed based on post-fermentative addition of overripe seeds (OS). Simple (SW) and double (DW) addition were performed to produce different enrichment of phenolics from seeds, hence different copigmentation/polymerization...

The effect of the fermentative addition of overripe seeds by-product (Pedro Ximénez white grapes, 3 g/L) on the phenolic composition and colour of red wines was studied by rapid resolution liquid chromatography (RRLC-MS) and Differential Colorimetry. Overripe seeds summited to postharvest dehydration by sun drying directly demonstrated were...

Se ha estudiado la utilidad de la nefelometría espectral en la medida simultánea del color y turbidez en aceites de oliva virgen extra. Se han considerado 25 aceites, cada uno de ellos con 6 niveles de turbidez diferente, sobre los que se han realizado medidas nefelométricas y gonioespectrofotométricas (0º, 30º, 60º y 90º). Los resultados ponen...

New colorimetric variables have been defined in the uniform CIELAB color space to assess the quantitative and qualitative color changes induced by copigmentation and their incidence on visual perception. The copigmentation process was assayed in model solutions between malvidin 3-glucoside and three phenolic compounds (catechin, epicatechin,...

The effect of adding American oak wood chips during fermentation on Tempranillo red wines elaborates in a warm climate has been studied. Our attention was focused on the tristimulus colorimetry, differential colorimetry and phenolic compounds related to wine colour. This technique was applied as an oenological alternative to the conventional...

This work includes the evaluation of 168 samples of raspberries 'Glen Lyon', representing whole maturation period, by colorimetric and near infrared imaging techniques, as well as the quantification of total phenols, total anthocyanins and antioxidant activity by chemical methods. Samples showed significant differences depending on the...

Recently, the search for alternative proteins endogenous to grapes to be used as wine colour protecting agents became an important research trend. In this study, the molecular interaction between the grape seed 11S globulin from winemaking by-product and malvidin-3-O-glucoside was investigated by fluorescence, differential colorimetry and...

Currently, the time of grape harvest is normally determined according to the sugar level in the pulp of the berry. Nonetheless, the stage of maturation in grape seeds should be taken into account more frequently to decide the appropriate harvest period. There are chemical and sensory analyses available to assess stage of maturation of grape...

The post-fermentative double addition of Pedro Ximénez cv seeds obtained from natural matured grapes (ripe seeds, RS) and postharvest sun-dried grapes (overripe seeds, OS) were studied as sustainable enological alternatives to conventional vinification (CW) to improve the stability of Syrah wines produced in a warm climate. The phenolic...

This paper presents an experiment making use of the near-infrared spectrum for distinguishing the wines produced in two close provinces of Abruzzo region of Italy. A collection of 32 wines was considered, 18 of which were produced in the province of Chieti, while the other 14 were from the province of Teramo. A conventional...

Anthocyanins are phenolic compounds with important technological applications due to its bioactive and color properties. In this study, pomaces from four red berries (blueberries, red raspberries, red currants and blackberries) have been analyzed as sources of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins were determined by high-performance liquid...

Grape seed flour by-product (GSBP) is an economic and renewable source of proteins, increasingly being explored due to interesting technological application such as colour protection in rich-anthocyanins beverages. Globulin-like proteins from GSBP were characterised by proteomic and computational studies. MALDI TOF/TOF analysis revealed the...

Digital imaging has become a powerful tool for the characterization and quality control of foodstuff. Because of the need to automate processes, faster tools are needed and Computer Vision is a good alternative to chemical analysis of many products in quality control. Appearance of grape seeds and grape berries change during the ripeness. These...
