Application of headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with high-resolution gas chromatographic (HRGC) analysis was studied for determining lactones in wines. Six different SPME fibers were tested, and the influence of different factors such as temperature and time of desorption, ionic strength, time of extraction, content of sugar, ethanol, tannins and anthocyanins, and pH and influence of SO2 were studied. The proposed HS-SPME-GC method is an appropriate technique for the quantitative analysis of γ-butyrolactone, γ-hexalactone, trans-whiskey lactone, γ-octalactone, cis-whiskey lactone, γ-nonalactone, γ-decalactone, δ-decalactone, and γ-undecalactone in wines. Method reproducibility and repeatability ranged between 0.6 and 5.2% for all compounds. Detection limit for γ-butyrolactone was 0.17 mg/L and a few μg/L for the rest of the compounds. The optimized method has been applied to several wine samples.

Climate change and consumer preferences are driving innovation in winemaking, with a growing interest in non-Saccharomyces species. Among these, Torulaspora delbrueckii (Td) has gained recognition for its ability to reduce volatile acidity and enhance aromatic complexity in wine. However, knowledge regarding its phenotypic and genomic diversity impacting alcoholic fermentation remains limited.

Background: Fortified wine is an important category in the wine world with very famous wines such as Porto or Jerez-wine type. The quality of fortified wines increased significantly with barrel aging not only because of a long oxidation process, but also because, in Porto wines such as Ruby or Vintage styles, the long period in bottle permits their fining. Reducing the time of oxidation can favor the development of this technique even for less known sweet wines, making them good quality and less expensive.

Barrel aging is a crucial stage that influences the taste of wines and spirits, particularly increasing their sweetness and bitterness. This increase is caused by nonvolatile compounds released from oak wood. To search for such molecules, we performed a taste-guided inductive fractionation protocol using several analytical techniques.

The correlations and differences of the key odorants were systematically conducted among three sweetness of goji wines by the sensomics approach. After aroma (extract) dilution analysis, 67, 67, and 66 odorants were screened in sweet goji wine, semi-dry goji wine, and dry goji wine, in which, 63 odorants were identified in all goji wines. Determination of 53 odorants revealed a total of 30 odorants with the concentrations surpassing their olfactory thresholds.

Topical sirolimus is increasingly utilized off-licence to manage various dermatological conditions while avoiding typical adverse effects associated with systemic sirolimus. However, widespread use is limited by a highly heterogeneous evidence base of mixed quality. Our aim was to evaluate the current evidence base for the indications, efficacy and safety profile of topical sirolimus in dermatology.
