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

Characterization of the adaptive mechanisms of grapevine rootstocks to iron deficiency induced by lime stress

Iron (Fe) deficiency is one of the important nutritional disorders for grapevine growing in alkaline and calcareous soils. Although Fe is an abundant element in soil, several factors limiting its availability, particularly the high levels of calcium carbonate or bicarbonate in soil, leading to a remarkable reduction in grapevine growth and productivity. The use of Fe chlorosis-tolerant rootstocks seems to be a cost-effective and efficient way to maintain Fe balance. Morphological and physiological changes occur in plants to cope with low Fe availability, including enhancement of ferric chelate reductase activity and altering root system by increasing lateral roots and root hairs.

Prise en compte et mutations de l’acidité volatile au XXe siècle : les évolutions règlementaires, scientifiques et qualitatives d’un composé du vin au regard de l’histoire

Les composés actifs du vin ont, jusqu’ici, peu fait l’objet d’études sur le temps long. Le développement de l’œnologie, de l’analyse des vins et, de manière concomitante, l’essor des règlementations vinicoles au XXe siècle révèlent pourtant au grand jour le poids de ces composés et leurs évolutions. Dans cette communication, nous souhaitons montrer comment l’acidité volatile des vins,

The characterization of Vitis vinifera L cv. Cabernet sauvignon: the contribution of Ecklonia maxima seaweed extract

Biostimulants and biofertilizers are considered environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives to synthetic fertilizers, plant growth regulators and crop improvement products. Broadly, plant biostimulants are expected to improve nutrient use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, quality traits and availability of nutrients in the soil or rhizosphere. Currently, seaweed extracts account for more than 33% of the total plant biostimulant market. Within this category, Ascophyllum nodosum (AN), is the most widely studied and applied in biostimulant formulations.
