A new chemometric approach for white wines authentication, based on unconventional markers 

PN-III-CERC-CO-PED-2016

INCDTIM

Summary

           One of the most important questions in enology and prevention of adulteration in wine are grape varieties, geographical origin of wine and year of vintage assessment. The falsification may be more or less sophisticated and the quality of falsification as well as its cost increases with the improvement of analytical methods, and there is always a competitive technical race between the falsifier and the researcher in the detection of food adulteration.

           The general objective of project is to increase the analytical capacity of Mass Spectrometry, Chromatography and Ion Physics Laboratory from National Institute for Research and Development of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies, Cluj-Napoca, in terms of wine authentication capabilities, by the development of new lab-validated models that would be possible to be transferred to economic agents together with the existing accredited methods for which our laboratory is already recognized at European level like Official Laboratory for Wine Control. The novelty degree of the proposed project is given by the corroboration of some unconventional techniques for white wine authentication with new chemometric methods for the processing of analytical data, using various fuzzy algorithms.
