This research details the development of a novel LC-MS/MS method involving a QuEChERS-based extraction that, for the first time, achieves the fast and concurrent analysis of both free varietal thiols (3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol, 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate, and 4-methyl-4-sulfanylpentan-2-one) and their S-glutathionylated/S-cysteinylated precursors in wine samples. Limits of detections for the free thiols were comparable to or lower than those obtained with previously reported more laborious methods. Repeatability for the free thiols ranged between 3-19% and from 0.1-7.7% for the thiol precursors. The method was subsequently applied to the analysis of a selection of 22 wines from a range of different grape varieties. The rapidity of this method combined with its sensitivity makes it suitable for both research and industry applications.

The aromatic profile of wine determines its overall final quality, and among the volatile molecules that define it, varietal thiols are responsible for shaping the distinctive character of certain wine varieties. In grape must, these thiols are conjugated to amino acids or small peptides in a non-volatile form. During wine fermentation, yeasts play a principal role in expressing these aromatic compounds as they internalise and cleavage these precursors, releasing the corresponding free and aroma-impacting fraction.

Male sterile lines are key resources for hybrid seed production and for ensuring high varietal purity. However, the genes and mechanisms underlying sesame male sterility remain largely unknown. Hence, this study identified an O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase gene SiOASTL1 and functionally characterized its roles in inducing defective anther development.

Varietal thiols have an impact on the overall aroma of many white, rosé, and red wines and beers. They originate from the metabolism of non-odorant aroma precursors by yeast during the fermentation step, via an intrinsic enzyme, the carbon-sulfur β-lyase (CSL, EC 4.4.

Yeasts undergo intensive metabolic changes during the early stages of fermentation. Previous reports suggest the early production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is associated with the release of a range of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), as well as the production of varietal thiol compounds 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate (3SHA) from six-carbon precursors, including (E)-hex-2-enal. In this study, we investigated the early H2S potential, VSCs/thiol output, and precursor metabolism of 11 commonly used laboratory and commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in chemically defined synthetic grape medium (SGM) within 12 h after inoculation.

Nowadays the rapidly increasing organic vineyard management with the utilization of copper as sole fungal control pesticide against downy mildew raises once again the question of copper impact on varietal thiols in wine. For this purpose, Colombard and Gros Manseng grape juices were fermented under different copper levels (from 0.2 to 3.
