FEATURE ARTICLE
Food and beverage analysis are important areas for NMR also, and
Bruker reports several new developments, notably in determining
wine quality. Recently, its equipment has begun playing a central
role in a new wine authentication service by Estación Enológica de
Haro (EEH), a public and governmental laboratory situated in the
major wine growing region of La Rioja, Spain.
The first of its kind to be provided by
a laboratory in Spain, the service uses
Bruker's NMR spectroscopy to identify
origin, variety, and authenticity of wine
throughout the supply chain. The detailed
analysis helps wine producers,
importers and distributors detect and
prevent the most common types of
wine fraud by verifying wine identity.
EEH lab in Spain adds wine
authentication service
Spain's wine export market is valued
at €2.63 billion and, as a premium
product, it is vulnerable to many
types of economically motivated fraud
(EMF). As consumers increasingly demand
authenticity and transparency of
origin in their food and drinks, the new
NMR analysis service helps growers
and importers to protect their brand
reputation, safeguard consumer trust
and maintain product value.
EEH has used Bruker's Wine-Profiling module on the NMR FoodScreener
platform to analyze wine samples since 2015. The specialist
lab evaluates 25,000 samples and conducts around 263,000
analyses every year using different methods and techniques, which

include NMR. Bruker is also working with EEH to further grow the
database of wines, running samples from Spain as well as with
France, Italy, and Hungary, to create baselines along Europe, preventing
economical and quality fraud.
FoodScreener enables the detection of unpredicted and even unknown
fraud. Complex statistical models allow the testing of origin authenticity,
production process control, false labeling, sample similarity and
species purity.
NMR is a highly reproducible analytical technique that helps complete
the chain of authenticity in high-end wine supply chains by
providing what is essentially a fingerprint of a sample. Each fingerprint
contains 52 parameters to allow the creation of robust databases,
providing a reference for all molecular constituents.
