Comparative study on the use of anthocyanin profile, color image analysis and near-infrared hyperspectral imaging as tools to discriminate between four autochthonous red grape cultivars from la Rioja (Spain)

Description

Three independent methodologies were investigated to achieve the differentiation of red grapes from different grape varieties (Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo and Tempranillo) collected from five vineyards located in the D.O.Ca. Rioja. Anthocyanin chromatographic analysis, color image analysis and near infrared hyperspectral imaging were carried out for the grapes. Then, a Stepwise Linear Discriminant Analysis (SLDA) was developed for each data set in order to discriminate grapes according to their grape variety. As a result, using anthocyanin profile, color image analysis and near infrared hyperspectral imaging respectively, 88%, 54% and 100% of the samples were correctly classified in the internal validation process and 86%, 52% and 86% were correctly classified in the leave-one-out cross-validation process
