Introduction

Measurement of tannin, iron-reactive phenolics, anthocyanin and polymeric pigment in red wine is an important part of quality control in the wine industry. Precise and reliable measurement of phenolic compounds in wine is critical for making decisions during fermentation, maceration, pressing and blending. Harbertson et al. developed a comprehensive red wine phenolics assay in 2003.1 Traditionally this assay is performed using a cuvettebased UV-vis spectrophotometer. It is a time-consuming and laborious process of reading individual samples in separate cuvettes, recording the results, and analyzing the data. Identifying the need for a rapid and cost-effective way of performing the assay, Heredia et al. adapted the assay for a microplate platform. This approach increases the throughput with respect to labor, time and sample volume. The assay widens the capacity to monitor the fermentations for extraction of phenolic compounds in an average-sized winery. Here we describe the use of Molecular Devices SpectraMax® Plus 384 Microplate Reader and SoftMax® Pro Software to efficiently collect and analyze the data for this assay.

Some of the unique features of the SpectraMax Plus 384 Microplate Reader are:

Red wine phenolic assay

The Adams/Harbertson assay uses spectrophotometry, protein precipitation and bisulfite-bleaching techniques to measure red wine phenolics.

PathCheck Sensor

The PathCheck Sensor is a temperature independent feature from Molecular Devices that measures the optical pathlength of samples in microplate wells. It is an innovative way of normalizing the absorbance reading in a microplate well to that of a 1-cm cuvette..

Beer-Lambert Law states that
Absorbance = E * C * L

where

E = absorptivity (extinction coefficient)

C = concentration

L = pathlength

In the case of a cuvette, the optical path is horizontal. Hence the pathlength is fixed and is equal to 1 cm. But in the case of a microplate, the optical path is vertical. So, the pathlength depends on the volume of the sample (Figure 2). The PathCheck Sensor corrects for the discrepancy.

SoftMax Pro Software

The software controls the instrument, collects the data, and provides complete data analysis. Customized protocols with appropriate instrument settings and calculations can be pre-written and saved. The end user can conveniently open a preconfigured protocol and obtain complete results and analysis with no protocol setup time.

Methods

Catechin standard curve

A set of dilutions was made to cover a range of 0–300 mg/L catechin in duplicate in a microplate. The final volume was adjusted to 262 µL with Buffer C. The plate was shaken on the shaker and 38 µL of ferric chloride solution was added to each well. The plate was shaken, further incubated for 10 minutes and the absorbance was read at 510 nm in the microplate reader. Buffer C was used as a blank.

Tannin analysis

Wine samples were diluted in Buffer B as per Heredia et al. 500 µL of diluted wine sample was added to a 1.5 mL microfuge tube. Next, 1 mL of buffer A with BSA (final concentration 1 mg/mL) was added to the tube and the reagents were mixed immediately by inverting the tube. The microfuge tube was centrifuged at 13,500 g to pellet the tannin-protein complex. Supernatant was removed from the microfuge tubes and the pellet was redissolved in 300 µL of Buffer C. A 262-µL aliquot was transferred to the microplate, and absorbance at 510 nm was read in the microplate reader with Buffer C as a blank (tannin background measurement). 38 µL of ferric chloride reagent was added to each of the wells, mixed using a multichannel pipetter, and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. A second reading at 510 nm was taken with Buffer C as a blank (tannin final measurement). The amount of tannin in each sample was calculated as described in Table 2 and expressed in mg/L catechin equivalents.

Table 2. Summary of calculations for comprehensive red wine phenolics assay (from Harbertson et al. 2003, Picciotto 2002).

Iron reactive phenolics (IRP) analysis

15 µL of an undiluted wine sample was added to the microplate well followed by addition of 247 µL of buffer C. The reagents were mixed with the multichannel pipetter. The reaction was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes, and an absorbance reading was taken at 510 nm with Buffer C as a blank (IRP background measurement). Following this, 38 µL of ferric chloride was then added to each well. The reagents were mixed with the multichannel pipetter. The reaction was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes, and an absorbance reading was taken at 510 nm with Buffer C as a blank (IRP final measurement). The amount of IRP in each sample was calculated as described in Table 2 and expressed in mg/L catechin equivalents.

Figure 3. Red wine assay principle.

Anthocyanin analysis

Wine samples were diluted in Buffer B as per Heredia et al. 500 µL of a diluted wine sample was added to a 1.5 mL microfuge tube. Next, 1 mL of buffer A was added to the tube and the reagents were mixed immediately by inverting the tube. A 300 µL aliquot was transferred to the microplate well in duplicate and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. Measurement A was obtained at 520 nm with Buffer A as blank.

A volume of 50 µL of a diluted wine sample was added per well, followed by the addition of 50 µL of Buffer B. To this reaction mixture, 200 µL of Buffer D was added and mixed with multichannel pipetter. The reaction was incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature, followed by measurement of absorbance at 520 nm (measurement D). The amount of anthocyanin in each wine sample was calculated as described in Table 2 and expressed as mg/L malvidin-3-glucoside (M-3-G) units (Picciotto, E.A., et al.).

Instrument setup

The instrument was programmed through the SoftMax Pro Software. The settings were fed in the plate section of the software (Figure 4).

Figure 4. Instrument settings for catechin and tannin assay. Pathcheck Sensor settings are shown. Cuvette reference was selected if the reaction took place in a non-aqueous (organic) environment. For aqueous reactions, Water Constant was selected.

Step 1. The reading type was endpoint.

Step 2. The wavelength was set at 510 nm (for tannin, catechin and ironreactive phenolics) or at 520 nm (for the measurements A, B, C, D) by typing the appropriate number in the wavelength option.

Step 3. “PathCheck” option was selected. If the reaction took place in an aqueous environment, the option for Water Constant was selected, and the software used the constant included in the firmware. If the reaction took place in non-aqueous environment, the option for cuvette reference was selected. During this reading, a cuvette filled with the organic buffer was inserted in the cuvette port. The instrument took the reading from the cuvette and used it to correct the pathlength.

Step 4. Automixing was not selected.

Step 5. With autocalibration, the instrument calibrated itself for the selected wavelength.

Step 6. Appropriate plate format and wells to be read were selected.

Template setup

A template was set up in the software to denote placement of the series of concentrations in the appropriate wells. Flexible template layout allows easy addition of more samples and replicates.

Figure 5 is an example of a template setup for the catechin standard curve. Appropriate templates were set up for the rest of the analyses.

Results

Catechin standard curve

A standard curve for catechin (0–300 mg/mL) was prepared as per Materials and Methods. SoftMax Pro Software automatically subtracted the blank and calculated mean, standard deviation and %CV. The software also plotted a standard curve of OD at 510 nm against catechin concentration that was used for calculation of tannin and IRP concentrations in the wine sample by interpolation. Note the zero catechin concentration was pulled out below in a summary line below the group section (Figure 7).

Figure 7. Catechin standard curve. A: Plate View. B: Results. Catechin standard curve was used for interpolation in calculating tannin and IRP concentrations.

Analysis of tannin

Analysis of tannin was carried out as described in Materials and Methods. The software was programmed to calculate the optical density due to tannin with the following formula:

Abs due to tannin = {(Tannin final)–(Zero catechin)}–(Tannin background * 0.875)

The software utilized the OD of the zero concentration of catechin from the summary line of the catechin group section. The tannin concentration was calculated by interpolation from the catechin standard curve after applying the correction factor to account for reaction dilution and dilution of wine. In this example, the dilution factor was not used, as the wines were not diluted (Figure 8).

Figure 8. Analysis of tannin. A: Plate View. B: Results. OD values were interpolated using catechin standard curve to obtain tannin concentration with the custom formula as shown.

Analysis of Iron Reactive Phenolics (IRP)

Analysis of IRPs was carried out as described in the Materials and Methods section. The software was programmed to calculate the optical density due to IRP with the following formula:

Abs due to IRP = {(IRP final)–(Zero catechin)}–(IRP background * 0.875)

The software used the OD of the zero concentration of catechin from the summary line of the catechin group section. The IRP concentration was calculated by interpolation from the catechin standard curve after applying the correction factor to account for dilution of wine (Figure 9).

Figure 9. Iron Reactive Phenolics (IRP). A: Plate View. B: Results. OD values were interpolated using catechin standard curve to obtain IRP concentration with the custom formula as shown..

Analysis of anthocyanins

Analysis of anthocyanins was carried out as described in Materials and Methods. The software was programmed to calculate the concentration of anthocyanins with the following formula:

((Measurement D*10)–(Measurement A*5)) /0.0102

Here, numbers 10 and 5 represent the respective dilution factors, and 0.0102 is the conversion factor needed to express the anthocyanin concentration in malvidin- 3-glucoside (M-3-G) units (Picciotto, E.A. et al.) (Figure 10).

介绍

红酒中单宁,铁反应性酚类,花青素和聚 合物色素的测定是葡萄酒行业质量控制的 重要组成部分。准确、可靠地测量葡萄酒 中的酚类化合物对于发酵,浸渍,压榨和 混合过程中的决策至关重要。Harbertson 等人于 2003 年开发了一种全面的红酒酚类 测定法 (1)。传统上,该测定法是使用基于 比色皿的紫外可见分光光度计进行的。读 取单个比色皿中的单个样品,记录结果并 分析数据是一个耗时且费力的过程。 Heredia 等人认为需要一种快速、经济有 效的检测方法,因此将该检测方法应用于 微孔板平台。这种方法增加了有关人工, 时间和样品量的通量,扩大了中等规模酒 厂中监测酚类化合物提取发酵过程的能 力。在这里,我们描述了使用 Molecular Devices 公司的 SpectraMax®Plus 384 微 孔板读板机和 SoftMax®Pro 软件来有效收 集和分析此测定的数据。

SpectraMax Plus 384 微孔板读板机的一 些独特功能包括:

红酒酚含量测定

Adams / Harbertson 测定法使用分光光 度法、蛋白质沉淀法和亚硫酸氢盐漂白技 术来测量红酒中的酚类。

PathCheck传感器

PathCheck® 传感器是 Molecular Devices 的一项专利[1]功能,可以测量微孔板中样 品的光程。 这是将微孔板中的吸光度读数 标准化为 1 厘米比色皿的创新方法。

Beer-Lambert定律指出吸光度 = E * C * L

其中

E = 吸收率 ( 消光系数 )

C = 浓度

L = 光程

在比色皿的情况下,光路是水平的。因此, 光程是固定的,等于 1 cm。但是在微孔板 的情况下,光路是垂直的。因此,光程长 短取决于样品的体积 ( 图 2 )。 PathCheck 传感器会纠正差异。

SoftMax Pro 软件

该软件控制仪器,收集数据并提供完整的 数据分析。 带有适当的仪器设置和计算方 法的客制化模板可以预先编写并保存。 最 终用户可以方便地打开预先设置的模板, 获得完整的结果和分析,而无需重新花费 时间设置模板。

步骤 6. 选择适当的平板格式和要读取的孔。

模板设置

在软件中设置一个模板,以指示一系列浓 度在适当孔中的位置。灵活的模板布局可 轻松添加更多样品和重复孔。图 5 是儿茶 素标准曲线的模板设置示例。为其他的分 析设置了适当的模板。

Figure 5 is an example of a template setup for the catechin standard curve. Appropriate templates were set up for the rest of the analyses.

实验结果

儿茶素标准曲线

c根 据 实 验 材 料 和 实 验 方 法 制 备 儿 茶 素 (0‒300 mg/mL) 的标准曲线。SoftMax Pro 软件自动减去空白并计算出平均值,标准 偏差和 % CV。该软件还绘制了 510 nm OD 对儿茶素浓度的标准曲线,该曲线用于 通过插入计算葡萄酒样品中的单宁和 IRP 浓度。请注意,零儿茶素浓度在分组部分 下方的摘要行中被列出 ( 图 7 )。

单宁分析

如实验材料和实验方法中所述进行单宁的分析。通过以下公式对软件进行编程以计算单宁引起的光密度:

Abs due to tannin = {(Tannin final)–(Zero catechin)}–(Tannin background * 0.875)

该软件利用了儿茶素分组部分摘要行中的 儿茶素浓度为零的 OD。在应用校正因子考 虑反应稀释度和葡萄酒稀释度后,通过儿 茶素标准曲线的插入计算单宁浓度。在此 示例中,未使用稀释因子,因为葡萄酒未 稀释 ( 图 8 )。

图 8 丹宁的分析。 。A:平板视图。B:结果。利用儿茶素标准曲线插值 OD 值,得到单宁浓度,自定 义公式如图所示

铁反应性酚类(IRP)分析

如实验材料和实验方法中所述进行IRP的 分析。通过以下公式对软件进行编程以计 算 IRP 引起的光密度:

Abs due to IRP = {(IRP final)–(Zero catechin)}–(IRP background * 0.875)

该软件使用了儿茶素分组部分摘要行中儿 茶素浓度为零的 OD。应用校正因子考虑 葡萄酒的稀释度后,通过儿茶素标准曲线 的插入来计算 IRP 浓度 ( 图 9 )。

花青素分析

如实验材料和实验方法中所述进行花青素的分析。通过以下公式对软件进行编程以计算花青素的浓度:

((Measurement D*10)–(Measurement A*5)) /0.0102

此处,数字 10 和 5 代表各自的稀释因子, 而 0.0102 是表示以氯化锦葵色素 3-葡糖 苷 (M-3-G) 单位表示花青素浓度所需的转 化因子 ( Picciotto,E.A 等 ) ( 图 10 )。
