The botanical origin, toast level and ellagitannin content of oak chips in a model wine solution have been studied in terms of their influence on oxygen consumption. French oak chips released significantly higher amounts of ellagitannins than American oak chips at any toast level. The release of ellagitannins by oak chips decreased as the toast level increased in the French oak but this trend was not so clear in American oak. Oxygen consumption rate was clearly related to the level of released ellagitannins. Therefore, oak chips should be chosen for their potential to release ellagitannins release should be considered, not only because they can have a direct impact on the flavor and body of the wine, but also because they can protect against oxidation.

Article Synopsis
  • Dielectric capacitors can store energy quickly and have high power, but achieving both high energy density and efficiency is difficult, especially over varying conditions.
  • This study introduces a method using NaTaO in ferroelectric relaxor materials to enhance local structural fluctuations, leading to better energy-storage capabilities.
  • The resulting ceramic demonstrates excellent performance with an energy density of 15.0 J/cm, efficiency up to 80%, and stability across a wide frequency range (10-200 Hz) while also enduring extensive cycling.

Aging is an important process for improving wine and brandy quality. In this study, the chemical characterization and sensory properties of spine grape brandies were compared after aging with various species of wood chips, including French oak (FO), American oak (AO), Mongolian oak (MO), Japanese blue oak (JO), chestnut, catalpa, and cherry. The results showed that high color intensity and significant concentrations of tannins and polyphenols were observed in the brandies aged with FO, AO, and chestnut chips.

Static infusion of oak chips in wine is a common practice during wine ageing, aimed at improving sensory properties and stability of wines. The wine/chips contact required to reach the desired effect can last several weeks or months. A low-pressure continuous dynamic (LPCD) extractor in which a closed-circle, low-pressure continuous flow of wine passes through an extraction cell filled with chips, was evaluated as a tool to tune red wine properties in few hours.
