Ziel

The achievement of High Standards of Food quality is strongly dependent on existence of express analytical methods for intermittent sampling and laboratory analysis. Measurement of quality marker analytes, additives and contaminants in food are roughly performed with chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. Chemically and biochemically modified electrodes offer a valuable alternative with advantages in rapidity, handling of reagents, sample throughout rate and the cost effectiveness for the assay of a great number of these food components.
In current project it is proposed to use the achievements of INTAS countries in field of food quality control and to apply the advanced electroanalytical techniques developed both in Europe and in Russia for increasing the wine quality and safety.

The specific objectives are:
- to carry out the electrochemical detection of heavy metals (Pb, Hg, As, Sb, Mn, Zn, Cu, Fe) as toxic compounds in wines, grapes, juices with the use of carbon composite sensors;
- to elaborate principles of wine fermentation control analysing L-lactic and; L-malic acids, glucose and ethanol on the basis of the advanced Prussian Blue and polyaniline based biosensors;
- to elaborate analysis of non-natural sugar component (sucrose) and measure of grape composition relevant to wine flavour (glycosyl-glucose) by developing Prussian Blue based bienzyme electrodes;
- to detect pesticides and their residues in wines, juices and grapes using the developed disposable cholinesterase sensor;
- to validate the developed analytical systems on real samples of wines, juices, grapes;
- to work out proposals on achievement of high standards of wine quality in Russian (NIS) Wine Technology for Russian Agency of Standardisation.

The project will be resulted in recommendations to change the obsolescent Government Standards (GOSTs) of Russian (NIS) food industry in order to achieve and maintain high standards of wine quality. The developed analytical systems on the basis of chemical and biological sensors will allow the sensitive, cheap and express detection of both safety related factors affecting the human health, such as heavy metals, agro-chemicals and their residues, and the key metabolites of wine fermentation. Control of the fermentation makes wine less dependent on the peculiarities of grape harvest and provides the achievement the desired bouquet and flavour.
