Browning in sparkling wines was assessed by fluorescence EEM spectroscopy-PARAFAC.
Four component PARAFAC model explained spectral profiles of different sparkling wines.
The third PARAFAC factor (465/530 nm), A420 and 5-HMF content were highly correlated.
The pairs 465/530 nm and 280/380 nm are useful to monitor the browning in sparkling wines.
