This study develops a new method to produce more complex wines by means of an indirect diffusion of wood aromas from yeast cell-walls. An exogenous lyophilized biomass was macerated with an ethanol wood extract solution and subsequently dried. Different times were used for the adsorption of polyphenols and volatile compounds to the yeast cell-walls. The analysis of polyphenols and volatile compounds (by HPLC/DAD and GC-MS, respectively) demonstrate that the adsorption/diffusion of these compounds from the wood to the yeast takes place. Red wines were also aged with Saccharomyces cerevisiae lees that had been impregnated with wood aromas and subsequently dried. Four different types of wood were used: chestnut, cherry, acacia and oak. Large differences were observed between the woods studied with regards to their volatile and polyphenolic profiles. Sensory evaluations confirmed large differences even with short-term contact between the wines and the lees, showing that the method could be of interest for red wine making. In addition, the results demonstrate the potential of using woods other than oak in cooperage.

Ultrasound-laccase pre-treatment enhances agarwood essential oil extraction and bioactivity.

Agarwood essential oil is prized for its elegant aroma and pharmacological properties; however, the traditional hydrodistillation method suffers from inefficiencies, constraining the industrial potential of agarwood. We proposed an ultrasonic-assisted laccase synergistic pretreatment technique that enhanced extraction throughput by 70.90 % compared to the traditional method by facilitating pore formation in agarwood and expediting the release of essential oil.

2-(2-Phenylethyl)chromones (PECs), the pivotal constituents responsible for the distinctive aroma and pharmacological potential of agarwood, are primarily obtained through extraction from natural materials. The restricted availability of agarwood has, however, hindered a comprehensive and systematic evaluation of their biological properties. In this study, we have chemically synthesized a total of 38 PEC derivatives, including 23 new compounds that had not been previously isolated from agarwood.

Aroma dramatically impacts the overall flavor profiles and consumer acceptance; therefore, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the aroma characteristics of apples. In this study, the aroma differences among four popular apple varieties ("Ruixue", "Liangzhi", "Crystal Fuji," and "Guifei") were compared using two extraction methods (headspace-solid phase microextraction, and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O) and two-dimensional gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC × GC-qMS). A total of 82 odorants were identified via GC-MS-O, and 143 volatiles were identified by GC× GC-qMS.

This study proposes a new method for identifying thiols in red wines by mimicking specific chemical mechanisms that occur during bottle-aging. It involves the reaction of oak-wood extracts with hydrogen sulfide and the reduction of disulfides with DIBAL. After optimization of the reaction conditions, the aroma of fresh oak wood turned into intense "meaty" nuances reminiscent of the aging bouquet of red wines.

Liquid smoke, an alternative to traditional wood burning smoking, enhances product value by imparting desirable characteristics such as aroma, flavor, and color. Furthermore, it contains components with inherent antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. This study compares the effects of liquid smoke and conventional smoking methods in bacon processing.
