The winemaking by-product grape marc (syn. pomace) contains significant quantities of latent flavour in the form of flavour precursors which can be extracted and used to modulate the volatile composition of wine via chemical hydrolysis. Varietal differences in grapes are widely known with respect to their monoterpene content, and this work aimed to extend this knowledge into differences due to cultivar in volatiles derived from marc precursors following wine-like storage conditions. Marc extracts were produced from floral and non-floral grape lots on a laboratory-scale and from Muscat Gordo Blanco marc on a winery -scale, added to a base white wine for storage over five to six months, before being assessed using a newly developed membrane-assisted solvent extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. The geraniol glucoside content of the marc extracts was higher than that of juices produced from each grape lot. In all wines with added marc extract from a floral variety, geraniol glucoside concentration increased by around 150-200%, with increases also observed for non-floral varieties. The relative volatile profile from extracts of the floral varieties was similar but had varied absolute concentrations. In summary, while varietally pure extracts would provide the greatest control over flavour outcomes when used in winemaking, aggregated marc parcels from floral cultivars may provide a mechanism to simplify the production logistics of latent flavour extracts for use in the wine sector.

Carbon dots (CDs) are versatile nanomaterials that are considered ideal for application in bioimaging, drug delivery, sensing, and optoelectronics owing to their excellent photoluminescence, biocompatibility, and chemical stability features. Nitrogen doping enhances the fluorescence of CDs, alters their electronic properties, and improves their functional versatility. N-doped CDs can be synthesized via solvothermal treatment of carbon sources with nitrogen-rich precursors; however, systematic investigations of their synthesis mechanisms have been rarely reported.

The regulation of reaction rate differentiation, catalytic precursor differentiation, and end-product differentiation during enzyme-mediated reactions within complex lipid systems is a key area of research in flavor regulation. A multilayer lipid oxidation model, utilizing Plaice bone oil (PBO), lipase, and lipoxygenase, was employed to investigate oxidation differences between various lipids and corresponding flavor formation patterns. Lipase treatment resulted in higher levels of non‑oxygenated volatile compounds and saturated aldehydes, whereas lipoxygenase treatment increased oxygenated compounds, particularly (E)-2-hexenal, 1-penten-3-one, and 2-pentylfuran.

Glutathione (GSH) is an important precursor of meat flavor. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of GSH-curing on the flavor of cooked chicken. GSH-cured chicken with different concentrations and uncured chicken (blank) were roasted separately and comprehensively analyzed in terms of flavors, odor-active compounds, free amino acids, and fatty acids profile.

Flavan-3-ol oligomers (FLOs), including proanthocyanidins (PAs) and theasinensins (TSs), contribute greatly to the flavor and bioactivity of the tea beverage. Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry has been widely used in profiling a wide range of compounds in tea. However, the detection and identification of FLOs with low concentration and high structural diversity remain meaningful yet challenging work.

Introduction: The fermentation process plays an important role in enhancing the quality of cigar tobacco leaves. Through fermentation, microbial metabolism can degrade aromatic precursors and macromolecules, which increases the content of aroma compounds and reduces irritancy of tobacco leaves.
Methods: To further enhance the fermentation effect of cigar tobacco leaves, a Rhodotorula strain (Rh3), capable of producing carotenoids and improving fermentation quality, was isolated from cigar tobacco leaves.
