TL;DR: An in vitro digestion model for the evaluation of the digestibility and bioaccessibility of cocoa polyphenols and the study of the food matrix effect in relation with the fat content showed an important increase of the concentration of procyanidin (monomers and dimers).
Abstract: This work describes the applicability of an in vitro digestion model for the evaluation of the digestibility and bioaccessibility of cocoa polyphenols (procyanidins, phenolic acids, and flavones) and for the study of the food matrix effect in relation with the fat content. For this purpose, two cocoa samples, cocoa liquor (≈50% fat content) and cocoa powder (≈15% fat content), were used. The results showed an important increase of the concentration of procyanidin (monomers and dimers), probably due to the hydrolysis of procyanidins with a high degree of polymerization (pentamers to nonamers) submitted to the digestion procedure. In relation to flavones, the concentration of aglycone forms remained almost constant after the digestion steps; in contrast, the concentration of the glycoside forms an increase in the digestion mixtures mainly after the duodenal step, probably as a result of the partial digestion of the dietary fiber present in the cocoa. The higher fat content in the cocoa liquor seemed to have a protective effect, probably related with a better micellarization that favors the stability of polyphenols during digestion.

TL;DR: A number of research lines related tocision Viticulture are reviewed, focusing on four very specific fields: quantification and evaluation of within-field variability, delineation of zones of differential treatment at parcel level, development of Variable-Rate Technologies (VRT) and, finally, evaluation of the opportunities for site-specific vineyard management.
Abstract: Precision Viticulture (PV) is a concept that is beginning to have an impact on the wine-growing sector. Its practical implementation is dependant on various technological developments: crop sensors and yield monitors, local and remote sensors, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), VRA (Variable-Rate Application) equipment and machinery, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and systems for data analysis and interpretation. This paper reviews a number of research lines related to PV. These areas of research have focused on four very specific fields: 1) quantification and evaluation of within-field variability, 2) delineation of zones of differential treatment at parcel level, based on the analysis and interpretation of this variability, 3) development of Variable-Rate Technologies (VRT) and, finally, 4) evaluation of the opportunities for site-specific vineyard management. Research in these fields should allow winegrowers and enologists to know and understand why yield variability exists within the same parcel, what the causes of this variability are, how the yield and its quality are interrelated and, if spatial variability exists, whether site-specific vineyard management is justifiable on a technical and economic basis.
