Varietal thiols [3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH), 3-mercaptohexyl acetate (3MHA) and 4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-one (4MMP)] have been extensively studied in the recent literature. Nonetheless the hardest obstacle for research focussing on this class of compounds is the lack of quick, user-friendly and sensitive analytical methods. The current paper presents the use of ethyl propriolate (ETP) as a novel derivatising agent to quantify varietal thiols and the first time quantification of the thiol-ETP adducts via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Method optimisation including choice of the best SPE cartridge, derivatisation pH and adducts stability is presented. Validation of the method via stable isotope dilution was carried out. Detection limits in both model wine (4MMP 7.2ng/L, 3MHA 40.0ng/L and 3MH 91.2ng/L) and white wine (4MMP 24.5ng/L, 3MHA 120.9ng/L and 3MH 194.6ng/L) for the novel ETP-based method were lower than those obtained with the p-HMB method. Finally, 14 New Zealand Sauvignon blanc were analysed with both the new method and the organo-mercury based procure: good correlations were obtained for 3MH and 3MHA. Detection limits obtained with the new methods, its rapidity and reproducibility make this protocol perfectly suitable for oenological purposes.

The aromatic profile of wine determines its overall final quality, and among the volatile molecules that define it, varietal thiols are responsible for shaping the distinctive character of certain wine varieties. In grape must, these thiols are conjugated to amino acids or small peptides in a non-volatile form. During wine fermentation, yeasts play a principal role in expressing these aromatic compounds as they internalise and cleavage these precursors, releasing the corresponding free and aroma-impacting fraction.

Male sterile lines are key resources for hybrid seed production and for ensuring high varietal purity. However, the genes and mechanisms underlying sesame male sterility remain largely unknown. Hence, this study identified an O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase gene SiOASTL1 and functionally characterized its roles in inducing defective anther development.

Varietal thiols have an impact on the overall aroma of many white, rosé, and red wines and beers. They originate from the metabolism of non-odorant aroma precursors by yeast during the fermentation step, via an intrinsic enzyme, the carbon-sulfur β-lyase (CSL, EC 4.4.

Yeasts undergo intensive metabolic changes during the early stages of fermentation. Previous reports suggest the early production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is associated with the release of a range of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), as well as the production of varietal thiol compounds 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate (3SHA) from six-carbon precursors, including (E)-hex-2-enal. In this study, we investigated the early H2S potential, VSCs/thiol output, and precursor metabolism of 11 commonly used laboratory and commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in chemically defined synthetic grape medium (SGM) within 12 h after inoculation.

Nowadays the rapidly increasing organic vineyard management with the utilization of copper as sole fungal control pesticide against downy mildew raises once again the question of copper impact on varietal thiols in wine. For this purpose, Colombard and Gros Manseng grape juices were fermented under different copper levels (from 0.2 to 3.
