The control of geographic origin is one of a highest priority issue regarding traceability and wine authenticity. The current study aimed to examine whether elemental composition can be used for the discrimination of wines according to geographical origin, taking into account the effects of soil, winemaking process, and year of production. The elemental composition of soils, grapes, musts, and wines from three DO (Designations of Origin) and for two vintage years was determined by using the ICP-MS semi-quantitative method, followed by multivariate statistical analysis. The elemental composition of soils varied according to geological formations, and for some elements, the variation due to soil provenance was also observed in musts and wines. Li, Mn, Sr and rare-earth elements (REE) allowed wine discrimination according to vineyard. Results evidenced the influence of winemaking processes and of vintage year on the wine’s elemental composition. The mineral composition pattern is transferred through the soil-wine system, and differences observed for soils are reflected in grape musts and wines, but not for all elements. Results suggest that winemaking processes and vintage year should be taken into account for the use of elemental composition as a tool for wine traceability. Therefore, understanding the evolution of mineral pattern composition from soil to wine, and how it is influenced by the climatic year, is indispensable for traceability purposes.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analytical method was used to determine the content of 40 elements in 38 soybean samples (Glycine Max) from 4 countries. Multivariate statistical methods, such as principal components analysis (PCA), were performed to analyze the obtained data to establish the provenance of the soybeans. Although soybean is widely marketed in many countries, no universal method is used to discriminate the origin of these cereals. Our study introduced the initial step to the identification of the geographical origin of commercial soybean marketed in Vietnam. The analysis pointed out that there are significant differences in the mean of 33 of the 40 analyzed elements among 4 countries’ soybean samples, namely, 11B, 27Al, 44Ca, 45Sc, 47Ti, 55Mn, 56Fe, 59Co, 60Ni, 63Cu, 66Zn, 69Ga, 75As, 78Se, 85Rb, 88Sr, 89Y, 90Zr, 93Nb, 95Mo, 103Rh, 137Ba, 163Dy, 165Ho, 175Lu, 178Hf, 181Ta, 182W, 185Re, 197Au, 202Hg, 205Tl, and 208Pb. The PCA analysis showed that the soybean samples can be classified correctly according to their original locations. This research can be used as a prerequisite for future studies of using the combination of elemental composition analysis with statistical classification methods for an accurate provenance establishment of soybean, which determined a variation of key markers for the original discrimination of soybean.

Background. Complex Au-Cu-U mineralization is found in the metamorphic rocks of central Vietnam in the zones of their contact with Triassic granite intrusions. It is localized in tectonic breccias and cataclasites, which affected Triassic granitoids and Precambrian metaskarn rocks. The greatest differentiation is observed for tectonically disturbed granites of the Hai Van complex and the metasomatically reworked zones of contacts of this complex with metacarbonate and metaultramafic rocks of the Kham Duc complex.Aim. To determine the mineral and elemental composition of complex occurrences of Cu, U and Au in Proterozoic rocks of the Kon Tum province of central Vietnam.Materials and methods. The work was based on the authors’ data obtained during fieldwork and analytical laboratory studies in the 2016–2019 period. The diagnostics of ore mineral composition was carried out using 60 polished sections. The chemical composition of ores was determined for 214 samples by ICP MS and for 374 samples by atomic absorption spectrometry at the Vietnamese Centre for Geological and Experimental Analysis in the city of Hanoi. The geochemical relationships of ore components were established by the method of multivariate statistical correlations.Results. The mineral composition includes pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, magnetite, martite, hematite, cubanite, marcasite, gold, xenotime, sphalerite, uraninite, chalcocite, covellite, goethite, malachite and limonite. According to the petrographic and petrochemical composition, the geological position and the data on isotopic age, the metamorphic formations of the Kham Duc complex can be considered as Neoproterozoic-Cambrian formations having experienced metamorphism in the Ordovician.Conclusion. A scheme of the sequence of mineral formation was outlined. ICP MS results of primary ores showed that, in addition to Cu, the formations under study contain concentrations of Co, Mo, U, Au, Zn, Ni, V, Y, La, and As. A positive correlation was found between Cu, U and Au. A model of hydrothermal ore formation was proposed.

Использование суспензий бентонитовых глин при обработке виноматериалов в процессе их осветления и стабилизации оказывает влияние на минеральный состав вин. Виноматериалы могут обогащаться катионами металлов, оказывающими разнонаправленное влияние на качество и розливостойкость вина. Исследованы изменения элементного состава виноматериалов в результате их обработки 32 образцами бентонитовых глин различных торговых марок. Объектами исследования были образцы виноматериалов из винограда сортов Каберне-Совиньон, Мерло и Молдова, собранного на территории Краснодарского края в 2019 г. Методами ИСП-АЭС и ИСП-МС определен элементный состав виноматериалов до обработки суспензиями бентонитовых глин и после нее. Установлено, что обработка бентонитовыми глинами привела к изменению концентраций практически всех определяемых элементов в образцах виноматериалов. Во всех образцах виноматериалов после обработки снизились концентрации B, Cu, Zn и увеличились концентрации Ag, Al, Cd, Ni, Na, Sb, Sn, Pb, Ti, Fe. As и Hg не были обнаружены ни в исходных, ни в обработанных образцах виноматериалов. Концентрации As, Cd, Hg, Pb, которые регламентируются в Российской Федерации, во всех обработанных образцах виноматериалов были существенно ниже установленного максимального уровня. Концентрации других элементов – Ag, B, Cu, Na, Zn, Ni, нормируемых в документах ЕС и МОВВ, в исследованных обработанных образцах виноматериалов оказались также значительно ниже нормативов. Таким образом, все исследованные бентонитовые глины могут быть рекомендованы к использованию при производстве вин. The use of suspensions of bentonite clays in the processing of wines in order to clarify and stabilize them has a significant effect on the mineral composition of wines. In this case, wines can be enriched with metals cations, which have a different effect on the quality and persistence of wine. Changes in the elemental composition of wine materials as a result of their treatment with 32 samples of bentonite clays of various brands were studied. The objects of the study were samples of wine materials from grapes of the varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Moldova, collected on the territory of the Krasnodar region in 2019. The methods of ICP-NPP and ICP-MS were used to determine the elemental composition of wine materials before and after treatment with bentonite clay suspensions. It was found that the treatment with bentonite clays led to a change in the concentrations of almost all detectable elements in the samples of wine materials. In all samples of wine materials after treatment, the concentrations of B, Cu, Zn decreased and the concentrations of Ag, Al, Cd, Ni, Na, Sb, Sn, Pb, Ti, Fe. As and Hg were not detected in either the initial or treated samples of wine materials. The concentrations of As, Cd, Hg, Pb, which are regulated in the Russian Federation, in all processed samples of wine materials were significantly lower than the established maximum level. The concentrations of other elements – Ag, B, Cu, Na, Zn, Ni, normalized in the EU and the International Organization of Vine and Wine documents, in the studied processed samples of wine materials were also significantly lower than the standards. Thus, all the studied bentonite clays can be recommended for use in the production of wines.

In this work, we evaluated the possibility of predicting the geographic origin of Uruguayan honeys using discriminant analysis (DA) on mineral concentration. Although the DA results appeared to discriminate between honeys from the south, central and north, the subsequent cross-validation analysis did not confirm this result. We also compared honeys from Uruguay and the Buenos Aires province (Argentina) using DA on mineral composition data. In this case, a clear difference between these two origins was observed. It seems possible to differentiate between Uruguayan honeys and those produced in a neighbouring country based on multivariate statistical methods.

The pattern of elements accumulation in biodeposits formed by living organisms and extracellular products of their metabolism (biofouling, primary soils) on different bedrocks (of the monuments of Historical necropoleis in Saint Petersburg) were studied by a complex of biological and mineralogical methods (optical microscopy, SEM, EDX, XRD, ICP MS, XRFS). The content of 46 elements in biodeposits with various communities of microorganisms is determined. The model recreating the picture of the input and selective accumulation of elements in biodeposits on the stone surface in outdoor conditions is assumed. It is shown that the main contribution to the elemental composition of biodeposits is made by the environment and the composition of the microbial community. The contribution of leaching under the action of microbial metabolites of mineral grains, entering biodeposits from the environment, is significantly greater than that of the underlying rock.

AbstractQuarantine insects are economically important pests that frequently invade new habitats. A rapid and accurate monitoring method to trace the geographical source of invaders is therefore needed for prevention, detection, and eradication. Current methods based on insect genetics are often too slow. We developed a novel tracing method based on insect gut microbiota. The source location of microbiota of insects can be used to rapidly determine the insects’ geographic origin. We analyzed 179 gut microbiota samples belonging to 591 individuals of 22 quarantine insect species collected from 36 regions in China and abroad. The gut microbiotas of these insects mainly included Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Cyanobacteria, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Tenericutes. The diversity of the insect gut microbiota was closely related to geographic and environmental factors. Different insect species could be distinguished at the phylum level of microbiota. Populations of individual insect species from different regions could be distinguished at the genus level of microbiota. A method for determining the geographical origin of invasive insect species was tentatively established, but its practical applicability requires further study.
