Background: Two red wines (Primitivo and Uva di Troia) treated with oak chips inoculated with Penicillium purpurogenum were analysed in order to assess their contents of furfural, cis-β-methyl-γ-octalactone, syringol, eugenol, vanillin and 4-vinylguaiacol. Two different sizes of oak chips (small and big, of length 2 and 8 mm respectively) and two different degrees of toasting (low and high) were used in the study. Aroma compounds were analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to determine differences among samples after 15 days of chip contact time.
Results: Big oak chips inoculated with P. purpurogenum increased the level of 4-vinylguaiacol, while small oak chips inoculated with P. purpurogenum, in some conditions, increased the level of eugenol. Chip size and degree of toasting also played an important role in the content of eugenol.
Conclusion: The use of oak chips inoculated with mould might be a promising alternative to barrel aging. Moreover, different fungal inocula could contribute to the enrichment of wine with specific compounds (e.g. 4-vinylguaiacol and eugenol).

Article Synopsis
- Dielectric capacitors can store energy quickly and have high power, but achieving both high energy density and efficiency is difficult, especially over varying conditions.
- This study introduces a method using NaTaO in ferroelectric relaxor materials to enhance local structural fluctuations, leading to better energy-storage capabilities.
- The resulting ceramic demonstrates excellent performance with an energy density of 15.0 J/cm, efficiency up to 80%, and stability across a wide frequency range (10-200 Hz) while also enduring extensive cycling.

Aging is an important process for improving wine and brandy quality. In this study, the chemical characterization and sensory properties of spine grape brandies were compared after aging with various species of wood chips, including French oak (FO), American oak (AO), Mongolian oak (MO), Japanese blue oak (JO), chestnut, catalpa, and cherry. The results showed that high color intensity and significant concentrations of tannins and polyphenols were observed in the brandies aged with FO, AO, and chestnut chips.

Static infusion of oak chips in wine is a common practice during wine ageing, aimed at improving sensory properties and stability of wines. The wine/chips contact required to reach the desired effect can last several weeks or months. A low-pressure continuous dynamic (LPCD) extractor in which a closed-circle, low-pressure continuous flow of wine passes through an extraction cell filled with chips, was evaluated as a tool to tune red wine properties in few hours.
