Aromatized wines and regular table wines are often filled on the same bottling line. Sealing polymers in the filling line absorb volatiles from aromatized wines and may migrate due to insufficient cleaning into the subsequently bottled regular wine. Unintentional carryover of volatiles may lead to accusation of illegal aromatization of wine. Absorption, cleaning efficacy, and migration of volatiles into ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber were investigated in a model system. Direct thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of seven aroma compounds monitored variation in the polymer (μg/g). Absorption of volatiles was mostly driven by their octanol/water partition coefficients. Cleaning of polymers removed 11 to 62% of the absorbed volatiles. Subsequent immersion of cleaned polymers into model wine revealed migration of 20 to 57% of the remaining volatiles. Sensory tests suggested the impact of transferred volatiles into subsequent model wine. For α-ionone, an odor activity value of 1.03 indicated a potential sensory impact.

This work assessed the efficiency and sustainability of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of anthocyanins from grape pomace using bio-based solvents: Ethanol, Isopropanol, Propylene-glycol, and Ethylene-glycol at different concentrations (50 and 100 % v/v) and temperatures (25 °C and 50 °C). Higher ultrasonic intensities (UI) were obtained at 50 °C and 50 % v/v by decreasing solvents viscosities. Under these conditions, anthocyanin extractions were performed with different combinations of solvent to liquid ratio (SLR) at 1:10 and 1:50 g/mL, and UI (3.

Background And Aims: Moderate wine consumption has been associated with lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in older populations. However, wine consumption information through self-reports is prone to measurement errors inherent to subjective assessments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between urinary tartaric acid, an objective biomarker of wine consumption, and the rate of a composite clinical CVD event.

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare congenital neurovascular disorder that initially presents with a facial port-wine birthmark (PWB) and most commonly associated with a R183Q somatic mosaic mutation in the gene . This mutation is enriched in endothelial cells. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnoses brain abnormalities including leptomeningeal vascular malformation, an enlarged choroid plexus, and abnormal cortical and subcortical blood vessels.
