Abstract:The quality characteristics of wine are not only determined by the grape variety but also closely related to the place of origin. The geographical origin and authenticity are also key factors affecting the commercial value of wine,which are of great importance to both producers and consumers. To identify the origin of wine,some rapid,accurate and cost-effective techniques have been developed,such as analyzing the mineral elements of wine. Using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for trace element analysis to identify the origin of wine has made multi-element detection more affordable and faster. Using Marselan grapes from different wine-growing regions and sub-regions in China to produce wines. The origin of the wines was identified through the fingerprinting of mineral elements. The content of 29 mineral elements in 37 Marselan wines was determined by using the ICP-MS and ICP-OES techniques. Combined principal component analysis (PCA),cluster analysis,and discriminant analysis revealed that different wine regions could be effectively discriminated based on characteristic elements. The wines from each region were highly aggregated,and the separation between different regions was distinct through PCA,with the cumulative contribution rate of PC1 and PC2 reaching 59.8%. Cluster analysis successfully grouped the wines into three major regions. Stepwise discriminant analysis identified 12 characteristic elements (As,Sr,Mg,B,Li,U,Fe,Pb,Co,Be,Al,Ge) that were crucial for origin tracing,among these,Co,Sr,Tl,and Pb played a vital role in the identification of subregions.
