At the international technology trade fair for wine, fruit,
fruit juice and spirits, INTERVITIS INTERFRUCTA 2013
(www.messe-stuttgart.de/en/intervitis-interfructa), Bruker today
announced the second release of its successful NMR WineScreener.
With this new release more than 110 parameters can be evaluated
under push button automation, with targeted analysis of more than
50 quantification parameters, and up to 60 statistical parameters,
covering properties such as geographical origin, grape variety and
vintage year. With this further increase in the already large
number of analytical parameters obtained in a single NMR
measurement, the NMR WineScreener 2.0 offers low costs per sample
and even lower costs per individual parameter. The WineScreener
analysis is built on more than 5,000 wines that have been measured
over the last 15 month.

For every compound measured, quantified variety-specific
concentration distribution curves are available, providing
additional quality parameters beyond the OIV (Organisation
International du Vin, www.oiv.int) defined thresholds. The
revolutionary performance of the NMR WineScreener 2.0 has convinced
Intervitis/Interfructa officials to award a 2013 innovation prize
to this unique wine-analysis system. Worldwide grape variety models
for red and white wines form the basis of the statistical analysis,
supplemented by origin and vintage models that provide valuable
analysis tools for the authentication of wine.
“At the CVUA Karlsruhe we are using the principles of NMR-based
food investigations for official surveillance very successfully, as
established for the WineScreener and other matrices like cosmetics
and drugs,” commented Dr. Thomas Kuballa, responsible for NMR
analysis at the Chemical and Veterinary Investigation Office
Karlsruhe (www.ua-bw.de).
‘We are convinced that the NMR WineScreener 2.0 initiates a new
era in food quality control and are working towards the
accreditation of the system in coordination with government control
agencies,” said Dr. Manfred Spraul, Bruker’s Director of Applied
NMR development.
A specification sheet detailing the possible analysis results is
available. The NMR-based wine-analysis is supported and offered by
WineSpin Analytics (www.winespin-analytics.de) and Eurofins
(www.eurofins.com).
The NMR WineScreener is the second NMR-based food quality
control solution offered by Bruker on the same hard- and software
platform as the NMR JuiceScreenerTM , which offers push-button
fruit juice and puree analysis of 23 fruit types, based on more
than 16,000 spectra acquired over 4 years
(www.bruker.com/en/products/mr/nmr/food-screener).
