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

Limiting magnesium availability: a novel approach to managing brettanomyces spoilage in winemaking

Brettanomyces is a world-renowned yeast that negatively impacts the chemical composition of wines through the production of metabolites that negatively impact the sensory properties of the final product. Its resilience in wine conditions and ability to produce off-flavors make it a challenge for winemakers. Currently, the primary control technique involves adding sulfur dioxide (SO2); however, some Brettanomyces strains are developing resistance to this preservative agent. [1] Therefore, new management strategies are necessary to control this spoilage yeast.

VOLATILE, PHENOLIC AND COLORIMETRIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THREE DIFFERENT LAMBRUSCO APPELLATIONS

Lambrusco is a commercially successful sparkling red and rosé wine. With 13.06 million litres sold in 2021 was the second best-selling Italian wine after Chianti. According to National Catalogue of Vine Varieties there are thirteen Lambrusco Varieties with which to date are produced seven PDO wines. Among these, “Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce”, “Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro” and “Lambrusco di Sorbara” are the only ones that can be considered mono-varietal appellations, all located in Modena area. The PDOs contemplate the possibility of producing wines by secondary fermentation either in tank (Charmat method), or in bottle (Classico method). Sur lie is a third method commonly employed for Lambrusco, similar to the Classico method, from which differs for the absence of disgorgement.
