On sample preparation methods for fermentative beverage VOCs profiling by GCxGC-TOFMS

Abstract

AIM: Study the influence of sample preparation methods on the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) profiling for fermentative beverages by GCxGC-TOFMS analysis.

METHODS: Five common sample preparation methods were tested on pooled red wine, white wine, cider, and beer. Studied methods were DHS, Liquid-liquid extraction, mSBSE, SPE and SPME. VOCs were analyzed by GCxGC-TOFMS followed by data analysis with ChromaTOF. RESULTS: The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) profiling results were very dependent on the sample preparation methods. Consider the number of annotated VOCs: SPE sample preparation is most suitable for beer and red wine; 166 and 433 peaks were annotated respectively. For cider and white wine, most peaks were found by DHS (330) and L-L extraction (256). However, there is only a small fraction of VOCs can be found with all the sample preparation techniques. For known fermentative aromas, most of them can be found easily by all the sample preparation methods. SPME, compare to L-L extraction, mSBSE, and SPE, have a shortage of collection and concentration on lactone compounds and vinyl compounds.

CONCLUSIONS:

VOCs profiling results for the fermentative beverages vary based on the used sample preparation method. There isn’t one ideal method to collect and concentrate all the compounds. A good global coverage can be reached by combining the results from different sample preparation techniques.

Fleurtai, Soreli and Tocai Friulano: perspectives for quality integration of wine together with protection of the DOCG Lison Classico appellation

In modern viticulture, sustainability must be considered not only into the winery, but in the vineyard as well, being that with the most attentive interventions in order to protect the environment. In this context, the new “fungi resistant” varieties represent a valid option for reducing the negative environmental impact of agrochemicals used in viticulture, including those ones used in organic farming (given the copper accumulation into soils). Several application studies have demonstrated the enological validity of many resistant varieties, both in price and as a blend. Also, under the production point of view, the feasibility and economical sustainability of the new resistant varieties was verified. The aim of this work was to deepen the knowledge on the organoleptic characteristics of wines obtained from the Fleurtai and Soreli varieties and to compare them with the wine obtained from Tocai Friulano, the mother variety in the area destined for the production of the Lison Classico DOCG appellation. The purpose of the work is then to verify the possibility of introducing resistant varieties into the DOCG while maintaining the wine name of the appellation linked to the territory.

Exploring the genetic diversity of leaf flavonoids content in a set of Iberian grapevine cultivars: preliminary results

The use of grapevine genetic diversity is a way to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on viticulture systems. Leaf epidermal flavonoids (including flavonols and anthocyanins) are involved in plant defense mechanisms against environmental stresses, like high temperatures or excessive solar radiation [1,2]. Among other factors, they modulate light absorption, which reduces photoinhibition processes in photosynthetic tissues [1]. Therefore, the identification of grapevine cultivars with an increased content on leaf epidermal flavonoids arises as a potential avenue to improve grapevine tolerance to some detrimental environmental stresses.
