QUALITY CHARACTERIZATION OF WINE CORK STOPPERS USING COMPUTER VISION
Costa, A.;Pereira, H. Journal International des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin France, 2005, 39 (4) 209-218
Image analysis techniques were applied on the surface of wine cork stoppers (tops and lateral cylindrical surface) of seven commercial quality classes to characterize their porosity. An increasing trend from the best to the worst quality classes was found for features related to area of pores (i.e. maximum length and width or pore maximum area) and concentration variables (i.e. porosity coefficient or number of pores per 100 cm2). Shape variables were rather constant and mean values showed no differences between quality classes. Variation of the pores characteristics within each quality class was large especially in the mid-quality range. Therefore there were no statistically significant differences to allow the isolation of quality classes and overlapping was particularly important in the medium-quality classes. The reduction of grading into only three quality classes allowed to isolate statistically different subsets based on porosity coefficient and number of pores per 100 cm2. These variables can be selected for further development into quality grade specification of wine cork stoppers.

The seasonal character of harvests limits winemaking considerably, especially oenological research. Thus, conserving sterile musts during the whole year to carry out experiments is certainly a very...

Although wine is adequate for long storage, like all the other foodstuff, its longevity and quality depend on the storage conditions. Temperature, light, and oxygen light shelf-life conditions have...

When the reduction defect is perceived in wine during fermentation, there is a tendency to perform certain procedures such as aeration or oxygenation or, if the treatment persists, micro-oxygenatio...
Shelf-life is a very generalized notion that encompasses a lot of areas of wine quality, wine distribution and wine commerce. Shelf life is a projection, it’s something that happens in the future. ...

Aromatic profile of a bottled wine evolves mainly under the influence of oxygen to which it is exposed at bottling and during bottle aging. The closure permeability is therefore an essential choice...
