The USDA-ARS food and wine chemistry program in Parma, Idaho began in October 2004. Long-term objectives:

• To develop and validate methods that are simple, rapid, reliable, and reproducible for measuring the quality of fruit and fruit products.• To understand the management of anthocyanins and polyphenolics, extraction of tannins, and oxidation during wine fermentation.• To investigate how cultivar, vine physiology, cultural practices, plant diseases, and nutrients influence the chemical components of wine grapes andwines.

Scientific Collaborators and Industry Cooperators:

• Collaborators: Julie Tarara (USDA-ARS), Paul Schreiner (USDA-ARS), Bob Martin (USDA-ARS), Kerri Steenwerth(USDA-ARS), Chad Finn (USDA-ARS), Carolyn Scagel (USDA-ARS), Kim Hummer (USDA-ARS), Jim Kennedy(OSU), Ron Wrolstad (OSU), Jordan Ferrier (the Hogue Cellars), Dominique Mahe (Willakenzie Estate Winery), andChuck Devlin (Ste.

AOAC (Association of Analytical Communities)Official Method for determining totalanthocyanins (AOAC method 2005.02):

The Pacific Northwest produces a wide range of fruitsand vegetables. Many are processed into canned andfrozen fruits, preserves, juices, and wines. Becausecolors (anthocyanins) are important indicators of quality,this standardized method fills the need for quicklydetermining total anthocyanins. The method is alsoapplicable to products being marketed for the antioxidantcapacity of their anthocyanins.

pH 1.0 pH 3.5 pH 4.5 pH 7.0

Chemical composition of commerciallyavailable Idaho wines :

42 wines from 12 wineries were assessed forchemical composition, the first such survey of Idaho-produced wines. Varietals included CabernetSauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, and Chardonnay.

Among the compounds measured were:• Total stilbene content (trans-resveratrol, cis-resveratrol, trans-piceid, and cis-piceid)• ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, orantioxidant capacity)• Total anthocyanins (reds)• Total phenolics• Total tannins• Color measurements (lightness, chroma, and hue)

Analytical instruments in the lab:

• HPLC-DAD-ion trap MS• GC-FID and MS• HPLC-DAD, FLD, and RID• Hunter Colorimeter• Microplate Reader

. . . and more

Current projects:

Polyphenolics evolution in model winesystems and commercial wine (with JimKennedy, OSU and the Hogue Cellars).

Improve, modify, and develop analyticalmethods for quality indicating compounds(mainly phenolics).

The effect of early seed removal duringfermentation on proanthocyanidinextraction in red wine (in cooperation withWillakenzie Estate Winery, OR and Ste.Chapelle Winery, ID).

Vine nutrients (N, P, and K) andirrigation, and Pinot noir grape qualityindicators (with Paul Schreiner, USDA-ARS).

Grapevine leafroll associated virus(GLRaV) and Pinot noir grape qualitycomponents (with Bob Martin, USDA-ARS).

Cover crop, tillage, and rootstock, andCabernet Sauvignon grape quality (withKerri Steenwerth, USDA-ARS).

Berry skin temperature on Merlot grapeanthocyanin development (with JulieTarara and Carolyn Scagel, USDA-ARS).
