Perception of Rose Oxide Enantiomers, Linalool and α-Terpineol to Gewürztraminer Wine Aroma

Abstract

Monoterpenes are important aroma compounds in white wines. Many monoterpenes are chiral and the chiral forms have different aroma qualities. Rose oxide is an important chiral compound found in Gewuztraminer wines. The enantiomers of the chiral rose oxide are found to vary in wines. The difference sin the enantiomeric ratios have the potential to alter wine aroma, as well as change aroma qualitities when in combination with other monoterpenes. The aim of this study was to evaluate rose oxide enantiomers at different ratios and the interaction of rose oxide with linalool and alpha-terpineol. Twelve compound combinations were tested in a dearomatized wine with diffferent ratios of rose oxide and combinations with linalool and alpha-terpineol. Triangle tests, check-all-that-apply (CATA) and descriptive analysis were used to evaluate the aroma of the wine treatments. Results show that the ratio of rose oxide enantiomers did alter aroma. Additionally, descriptive analysis showed that the rose oxide enantiomer ratios altered aroma when linalool and alpha-terpineol were at low and medium concentrations, influenceing grapefruit, lychee and stone fruit aromas. At high concentrations, linalool and alpha-terpineol mask rose oxide, resulting in wines described as tropical fruit, ginger, rose and honeysuckle. Understanding how monoterpenes alter aroma perception of white wines when at different combinations and concentrations is important to achieve desired wine qualities and helps provide information on interpreting flavor chemistry information

NIR based sensometric approach for consumer preference evaluation

Climate change has had a global impact on grape production, and as a result, developing table grape varieties that can withstand climate-related threats has become a significant goal. However, it is equally important to ensure that these new grape varieties meet the preferences of consumers. To achieve this goal, a procedure has been developed that combines sensory analysis with spectroscopic data collected in the NIR region. Each sample was analyzed using both traditional analytical techniques and non-destructive NIR spectroscopy.

Impact of moderate water deficit on grape quality potential on Pinot Noir in Champagne (France)

Environmental factors like soil and climate influence grape quality potential. Their impact is often mediated through vine water and nitrogen status. Depending on the color of the grapes (red or white) and the type of wine produced, the desired level of vine water and nitrogen status for optimum wine quality is different. Little investigation has been carried out concerning these factors and their potential influence on sparkling wine quality on two vintages. In this study vine water and nitrogen status were assessed at a very high density and related to grape composition and berry weight. Through statistical analyses, the major factors driving grape quality potential on Pinot noir in Champagne were highlighted.

Metabolic fingerprinting and qualitative attributes of two indigenous Cypriot cultivars destined for the production of ‘commandaria’: the impact of leaf removal and dehydration process

Grapes’ sun-drying is one of the most critical steps in the production of ‘Commandaria’, a dessert wine with Protected Designation of Origin that is exclusively produced in Cyprus from grapes of the two indigenous cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.), namely ‘Mavro’ and ‘Xynisteri’. Despite its significant economic importance, no data regarding the primary and secondary metabolites of the aforementioned cultivars exist.

Great highlands wine growing terroir: conditions and expressions

During 1982 started our wine growing project at the Puntalarga Hill, between 2500 and 2600 meters a.s.l.: 5.78 ºN, 72.98 ºW. Pinot noir, white Riesling and Riesling x Silvaner crossings are the most planted grapevines. Since 1984 research and development activities are carried out on pertinent subjects.
