Glutathione addition alters tannin composition and astringency of Petit Verdot wines

To understand how phenolic composition and structural modifications impact astringency, research scale (120L) Petite Verdot wines were made to allow for a full-factorial design altering pH (3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4.0) and oxidative and reductive adjuvants (glutathione, GSH, sulfur dioxide, SO2, and acetaldehyde) in triplicate.

Process optimization of subcritical water extraction for the recovery of antioxidant compounds from white wine lees

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].
