To clarify the effects of pervaporation and distillation on aroma profiles, the Sensomics approach investigated the aroma characteristics and key aroma compounds of Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) and Ugni Blanc (UB) grape spirits produced by pervaporation (UB-P, CS-P) and distillation (UB-D, CS-D). The results indicated that pervaporated grape spirits exhibited stronger floral and fruity aromas, while distilled grape spirits were characterized by more pronounced cooked apple and toasty aromas. Consumers preferred products with intense floral and fruity aromas and weaker cooked apple note. After identifying key aroma compounds in UB-P, UB-D, CS-P and CS-D, two-way ANOVA and Orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) were conducted to reveal that γ-butyrolactone, ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate, acetoin, 3-methyl-1-butanol, linalool, leaf alcohol, (E)-β-damascenone, ethyl octanoate, isoamyl acetate, and octanoic acid served as differential markers for distinguishing grape spirits produced by the two processes. This study provides theoretical support for selecting separation processes in grape spirit production.

A varietal origin of eugenol was previously demonstrated in Baco blanc, a major grapevine variety used to produce Armagnac wine spirits. Eugenol was found in high amount, both as the free and as unidentified glycosylated forms. To reveal their identity, a specific method was developed and applied to berry skin extracts.

Chemical and Sensory Profile of Grape Distillates Aged in Casks Previously Used for Sherry Wine or Brandy.

Molecules

November 2024

Departamento de Química Analítica, Facultad de Ciencias, Instituto Investigación Vitivinícola y Agroalimentaria (IVAGRO), Universidad de Cádiz, Campus Universitario de Puerto Real, 11510 Puerto Real, Cádiz, Spain.

This work investigates the influence of oak-cask ageing on the chemical composition and sensory profile of a variety of grape distillates. Wine spirit, wine distillate, neutral alcohol, and grape marc distillate were investigated. It is known that the characteristics of the ageing casks may have a considerable impact on the ageing process, so casks that had previously contained some type of sherry wine, sherry cask, and casks that had previously contained brandy were studied.

Wine Phenolic Compounds: Chemistry, Functionality and Health Benefits.

Antioxidants (Basel)

Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, Faculty of Art and Sciences, Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Jounieh P.O. Box 446, Lebanon.

Wine phenolic compounds, often known as polyphenols, are a diverse group of secondary bioactive compounds derived from grapes. They play a crucial role in defining the sensory characteristics, functionality, and health benefits of wine. This review explores the complex chemistry of these compounds, focusing on key classes such as flavonoids, which include flavanones, flavonols, anthocyanins, and flavan-3-ols, and non-flavonoids, such as hydroxycinnamic acids, hydroxybenzoic acids, and stilbenes.

Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated harmful volatile compounds and toxic metals in fruit spirits, finding that certain volatiles could act as differentiation markers while toxic metals were less significant.
  • Pome fruit and grape pomace spirits had lower levels of several harmful compounds, while stone fruit spirits showed specific lower levels of isoamyl alcohol and isobutanol.
  • Health risks varied by type of fruit spirit, revealing that consumers of stone fruit spirits may face higher risks due to compounds like ethyl carbamate and methanol compared to those consuming pome fruit or grape pomace spirits.
