Chapter 7 - Sensory interactions in wine: effect of nonvolatile molecules on wine aroma and volatiles on Taste/Astringency perception

2012

International audience; It is widely accepted that sensory interactions can, and do, occur during wine consumption. To this concern, many studies have dealt with aroma-taste interactions which have been attributed to physicochemical interactions in the product itself, interactions at the receptor level or cognitive interactions. Although the understanding of these interactions has grown during last years and it has been demonstrated that they are strongly product-dependent, investigations have seldom gone beyond that of model solutions with a reduced number of components (volatile and/or nonvolatile molecules). Recently some investigations carried out in this field have been conducted with …

Perception of wine quality according to extrinsic cues: The case of Burgundy wine consumers

2013

International audience; The value consumers put on specific products depends on the information they can get from experience and from the commercial description of the products. For wine, this information derives mainly from tasting (intrinsic factors) and from the packaging of the bottles (extrinsic factors). The main purpose of this work is to compare different methodologies able to disclose the extrinsic factors playing an important role in wine quality perception of consumers. Twenty-four Chardonnay commercial wines were selected according to different criteria such as origin, denomination of origin and information provided in the label or back label. Forty-eight participants living in …

Orthonasal aroma characteristics of Spanish red wines from different price categories and their relationship to expert quality judgements

2012

Background and Aims: Research aimed to define the olfactory sensory spaces of Spanish red wines from different price segments and to determine relationships between sensory descriptors and quality as evaluated by experts. Methods and Results: A trained panel using a frequency of citation method assessed the orthonasal sensory characteristics of 96 Spanish wines belonging to three price segments (premium; high standard; low standard). Eleven robust sensory terms were built by combining similar terms using statistical criteria. A panel of experts consistently assessed quality. Negative aroma profiles, some of them very skewed, were identified in the different sets with 'animal', 'undergrowth'…

Comparison of conventional descriptive analysis and a citation frequency-based descriptive method for odor profiling: An application to Burgundy Pino…

2010

International audience; The limitations of intensity scoring when describing the odor characteristics of a complex product have been documented in the literature. In the present work, the odor properties of 12 Burgundy Pinot noir wines were described by two independent panels performing, respectively, an intensity-based (conventional descriptive analysis) and a citation frequency-based method. Methods were compared according to three criteria: similarity of the sensory maps, control of panel performance and practical aspects. Intensity scoring and citation frequency data were analyzed, respectively, by Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Correspondence Analysis (CA) followed by Hierarch…
