Cognac and brandy components are electrochemically oxidized on multi-walled carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode at 0.44 and 0.59 V in 0.1 М phosphate buffer solution pH 3.0. Voltammetric behavior of the main antioxidant constituents of cognac (ellagic and gallic acids, syringaldehyde, coniferaldehyde, vanillin, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural) has been investigated. The peak at the less positive potential of cognacs is caused by oxidation of gallic acid as well as syringaldehyde- and coniferaldehyde. The second peak corresponds to ellagic acid oxidation. One-step chronoamperometry at 0.59 V for 75 s has been applied for the cognac and brandy antioxidant capacity (AOC) evaluation. Ellagic acid, being the main antioxidant of cognac, has been used as a reference substance. The chronoamperometric response of ellagic acid is linear in the range of 0.66-52.8 µM with the limit of detection and quantification at 0.19 and 0.63 µM, respectively. AOC in ellagic acid equivalents per 100mL of cognac and brandy for different denominations (11 cognacs and 11 ordinary and vintage brandies) has been estimated. AOC of cognacs and brandies increases with the age of the beverages. Positive correlations (r=0.9134-0.9703) with common parameters characterizing antioxidant properties of beverages, in particular antiradical activity, total phenolics content, total antioxidant capacity and ferric reducing power have been observed.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the aroma characteristics of brandies from Yantai in China and Cognac, focusing on how their sensory profiles relate to chemical compositions.
- Four methodologies quantified 43 aroma-active compounds, and a prediction model helped identify unique compounds linked to specific brandy groups.
- The findings revealed that Yantai brandies have distinct spicy, dried fruit, floral, and fruity aromas, with certain compounds linked to their aging process differentiating them by grade.

Cognac and brandy quality control is an actual topic in food analysis. Aromatic aldehydes, particularly syringaldehyde and vanillin, are one of the markers used for these purposes. Therefore, simple and express methods for their simultaneous determination are required.

Although the impact of nitrogen nutrition on the production of fermentative aromas in oenological fermentation is well known today, one may wonder whether the effects studied are the same when winemaking takes place at high turbidities, specifically for the production of wines intended for cognac distillation. To that effect, a fermentation robot was used to analyze 30 different fermentation conditions at two turbidity levels with several factors tested: (i) initial addition of nitrogen either organic (with a mixture of amino acids - MixAA) or inorganic with di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) at different concentrations, (ii) variation of the ratio of inorganic/organic nitrogen (MixAA and DAP) and (iii) addition of different single amino acids (alanine, arginine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid). A metabolomic analysis was carried out on all resulting wines to have a global vision of the impact of nitrogen on more than sixty aromatic molecules of various families.

Background: Seeing alcohol in media has been demonstrated to increase alcohol craving, impulsive decision-making, and hazardous drinking. Due to the exponential growth of (social) media use it is important to develop algorithms to quantify alcohol exposure efficiently in electronic images. In this article, we describe the development of an improved version of the Alcoholic Beverage Identification Deep Learning Algorithm (ABIDLA), called ABIDLA2.

Ellagitannins are the main extractible phenolic compounds in oak wood. They can be extracted by eaux-de-vie aging in barrels but rapidly undergo chemical transformations, such as hydrolysis, reduction, oxidation, or even substitution reactions. Given gaps in knowledge about their composition in spirits, the goal of this work was to explore ellagitannin behavior during Cognac eaux-de-vie aging and search for new C-glucosidic ellagitannin-derived compounds.
