Polyphenolic composition of two Syrah wines aged during 6 or 12 months in medium toasting acacia and oak 225L barrels was studied by LC-DAD-ESI/MS. A total of 43 nonanthocyanic phenolic compounds were found in all wines, and other 15 compounds only in the wines from acacia barrels. Thus, the nonanthocyanic phenolic profile could be a useful tool to identify the wines aged in acacia barrels. Among all of them the dihydrorobinetin highlights because of its high levels, but also robinetin, 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, a tetrahydroxydihydroflavonol, fustin, butin, a trihydroxymethoxydihydroflavonol and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid were detected at appreciable levels in wines during aging in acacia barrels, and could be used as phenolic markers for authenticity purposes. Although longer contact time with acacia wood mean higher concentrations of phenolic markers found in wines, the identification of these wines will also be easy after short aging times due the high levels reached by these compounds, even after only 2 months of aging.

Aging of wines and spirits in wooden barrels is an industrial process used to stabilize the color, to improve the limpidity and to enrich the sensorial characteristics of the products. In red wines, the oxygen that permeates through the wood staves promotes the oxidization of polyphenols and the formation of new pigments with consequent stabilization of the wine color. Barrel aging of spirits, such as brandy, whisky, rum, and grappa is finalized to enrich their aroma and improve their sensorial characteristics by the contribute of the compounds released by the wood.

The present study was aimed at the identification, differentiation and characterization of red and white Cretan wines, which are described with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. Specifically, the grape variety, the wine aging process and the role of barrel/container type were investigated. The combination of spectroscopic results with machine learning-based modelling demonstrated the use of absorption spectroscopy as a facile and low-cost technique in wine analysis.

Background: Despite the acceptance of the use of chips as an alternative enological practice to traditional barrels, there is substantial interest in looking for parameters that enable the aging technique to be identified. In the present study, the volatile compound composition and sensorial characteristics of wines aged with chips and barrels of acacia wood were monitored with the aim of finding fingerprints that could be used to discriminate between the two types of aging.

Results: Principal component analysis (PCA) calculated from chemical outputs permitted the two aging techniques to be distinguished.

Smoked shrimp is a food condiment widely used in Beninese local cooking practices. A previous study revealed that this product is highly contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The present study explored possibilities to reduce PAH levels in shrimp smoked using cottage industry smoking techniques with barrel and chorkor kilns, by replacing wood by charcoal from Acacia auriculiformis and Mangifera indica, as fuels.
