Peptide profiling and antioxidant capacity of white grape juice using LC-MS approach
The oxidative stability of white wine is governed by a complex network of native metabolites collectively described as the wine antioxidant metabolome1.

Winemaking in France dates more than 400 BCE and it has evolved a lot through the ages. Today, it faces two major problems: the over usage of pesticides and rapid progress of climate change.
Oak barrel aging is a traditional practice used in winemaking to produce high quality white wines. The impact of this practice over the evolution of volatile compounds in white wines is well documented.
Postharvest dehydration is applied as a winemaking strategy to increase sugar concentration and secondary metabolites in grapes, resulting in wines with peculiar compositional and sensory attributes.
Subcritical water extraction (SWE) represents a highly efficient green alternative to conventional organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, or acetonitrile for the recovery of bioactive compounds from white wine lees, leading to more than a threefold increase in the antiradical activity of the extracts [1].
Wine oxidation phenomena are becoming a strong issue in the context of climate change.
Reliable alcoholic fermentation is essential for the production of high-quality wine and sparkling wine. Small and medium-sized wineries are increasingly affected by fermentation problems, which can lead to substantial economic losses.
Wildfires release volatile phenols (VPs) through the thermal degradation of wood lignin, and these compounds can be absorbed by grape berries, leading to smoke taint in wine.
The complexities of grape and wine flavor have been extensively studied, and advances have been informed by developments in analytical chemistry, sensory science, genetic and multi-omic approaches, and statistical tools that relate information from multiple data sets.
The amino acid composition of grape must is a critical factor influencing both fermentation dynamics and the sensory attributes of wine.
Esterified flavan-3-ols, prevalent in grapes and wine as monomers or subunits within condensed tannins, significantly influence the mouthfeel of wine.
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) has been cultivated in the territory of Armenia for millennia and remains a national symbol and a key fruit crop.
