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.

The components and methodology for characterization of the terroir have been described by Gómez-Miguel & Sotés (1993-2014, 2003) and Gómez-Miguel (2011) taking into account the full range of environmental factors (i.e: climate, lithology, vegetation, topography, soils, altitude, etc.), landscape variables (derived from photo-interpretation and a digital elevation model), and specific variables to the country’s viticulture (i.e: size and distribution of the vineyards, varieties, phenology, productivity, quality, designation regulations, etc.).

Nematode vectors, grape fanleaf virus (GFLV) incidence and free virus vine plants obtaining in “Condado de Huelva” vineyards zone

The « Condado de Huelva » Registered Appellation Origin Mark (RAOM) is located in the Province of Huelva, in the southwest of Andalucía (Spain), being limited by the Atlantic Ocean and the Province of Sevilla. « Zalema », a white high productive grapevine plant is its major cultivar. The predominant rootstocks used are « Rupestris du Lot », « Castel 196-17 », « Couderc 161-49 », Couderc 33-09 », « Richter 110 » and « Millardet 41-B ». Traditionally, « Zalema » cv. has been dedicated to the elaboration of amber, bouquet-flavoured wines and in the last years mainly to young, fruit-flavoured white table wines.

Viticultural zoning of the country of Mendoza, Argentina. Study of the first zone : department of Luján de Cuyo. Statement of the study year 2002

La région viticole de Mendoza est la principale zone vitivinicole d’Argentine qui se compose de 3 oasis (Nord, Valle de Uco, Sud). La première zone vitivinicole, située dans l’oasis Nord, est composée par les département de Luján de Cuyo et Maipu. C’est la zone de production la plus ancienne et la plus reconnue pour la qualité de sa production. Ce travail se porte plus particulièrement sur le département de Luján de Cuyo qui constitue le lieu traditionnel de production du Malbec argertin. Ce travail propose de caractériser les terroirs et de mettre en avant leurs typicités.
