6. WCS-5, February 18-23, 2006, Samara, Russia A. Rudnitskaya et al St. Petersburg University Purpose of the study Development of the rapid analytical methodology for the assessment of the port wine age –Evaluation of the electronic tongue multisensor system (ET) for the determination of the port wine age –Comparison between ET and conventional chemical analysis data for the determination of the port wine age –Evaluation of the orthogonal signal correction for the data filtering

7. WCS-5, February 18-23, 2006, Samara, Russia A. Rudnitskaya et al St. Petersburg University Experimental Samples –146 samples of port wine, in particular, wines aged in oak casks for 10, 20, 30 and 40 years, Vintage, LBV and Colheita (harvest) wines of age varying from 2 to 70 years. –All port wine samples together with chemical analysis results were obtained from Instituto do Vinho Do Porto Measurements –Electronic tongue Sensor array of 28 potentiometric chemical sensors with both chalcogenide glass and polymeric membranes Direct measurements without sample preparation –Chemical analysis using conventional analytical techniques (provided by Instituto de Vinho de Porto) 32 parameters including content of sugar (ºBé), ashes, reducible sugar, total SO2 and sulphates, tartaric and malic acids, alcohols (ethanol, methanol, glycerol, 1 and 2-butanol, 1-propanol, isopropanol, amyl and allyl alcohols), ethanal, ethyl acetate, volatile and total acidity, Foline index, density, dry extract, etc.

9. WCS-5, February 18-23, 2006, Samara, Russia A. Rudnitskaya et al St. Petersburg University Orthogonal Signal Correction –Wold S, Antti H, Lindgren F, Öhman J, Chemometrics Intell Lab. Syst. 44 (1998) 175-185 –Aim – removal of variation in X that is not correlated with Y prior to modeling –t o = Xw o, which is orthogonal to Y AND provides good modeling and prediction of X p o ' = t o ‘X X OSC = X – Σt o *p o ‘

10. WCS-5, February 18-23, 2006, Samara, Russia A. Rudnitskaya et al St. Petersburg University PCA Chemical analysis data Good correlation between chemical analysis data and port wine age Clustering according to port wine type – good separation between blended tawnies and LBV and vintage wines

11. WCS-5, February 18-23, 2006, Samara, Russia A. Rudnitskaya et al St. Petersburg University PCA ET data No good separation of port wines according to their age Clustering according to port wine type Significant temporary drift in the data

17. WCS-5, February 18-23, 2006, Samara, Russia A. Rudnitskaya et al St. Petersburg University Conclusions Port wine age can be predicted using both electronic tongue and conventional chemical analysis data with the same precision of about 5 years. Electronic tongue response has shown a temporary drift in port wines, especially pronounced during first days of measuring session Data pretreatment using OSC was favorable for ET data successfully removing time dependence and producing improved calibration models Port wine sample can be separated according to their types using both ET and conventional chemical analysis data.
