Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Within the wine industry, the chemical complexity of the wine matrix makes the monitoring of the winemaking process, from the grapes to the final product, of utmost importance, its production involving the strict examination of a series of chemical parameters along the chain. On-field monitoring (on the vineyard and winery scale) and real-time analyses are major assets for the optimization of the technological processes (improving the use of resources), to control the quality and support decision making. Instrumental, automated and multiparametric analyses, including enzymatic methods and infrared spectroscopy-based methods, have increased in laboratories, and analytical methodologies combining high-sample throughput and an improved “green character” are on-demand. Additionally, the wine industry is not absent from the influence of biosensor developments. Another challenging topic is the development of advanced analytical methodologies for the assessment of wine authenticity and optimization of wine traceability tools. This Special Issue is dedicated to scientific research regarding analytical techniques/methodologies for monitoring the winemaking process, characterization and quality control, including the authenticity of the grapes, wines and other vitivinicultural products such as wine spirits. Original research and review papers concerning all the above aspects, in a broader perspective, are welcome in this Special Issue of Foods.
