ABSTRACT:
Over the last few years, the AWRI has been searching for new applications of spectroscopic techniques in the vis, NIR and mid-infrared (MIR) wavelength regions of the electromagnetic spectrum to be used for the analysis and quality control (QC) of both grapes and wines by the Australian wine industry. As part of this development, the feasibility of using vis and NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics to monitor fermentation during red wine production as a process analytical technology tool for the wine industry was explored.
