Characterisation of Vernaccia Nera (Vitis vinifera L.) Grapes and Wine

2017

Vernaccia Nera (VN) is a minor Italian red grape cultivar whose oenological properties have not been investigated yet. Traditional winemaking procedures with VN can include grape drying and even triple sequential fermentations, but a rational vinification approach should be based on the grape composition. Since a comprehensive characterisation of the VN grape is still missing, the ripening of VN grapes was monitored by evaluating flavour compounds, proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins. The grapes were used to produce red wine whose chemical composition and sensory properties were assessed. Ripe VN grapes contained high amounts of extractable anthocyanins (0.88 g/kg). The most abundant anthocy…

Acute toxicity of some chlorinated phenols, catechols and cresols to trout.

Quartz-capillary gas chromatography of chlorinated phenols and catechols

1983

The gas chromatography of all chlorinated phenols and catechols on a non-polar SE-30 quartz-capillary column has been studied. The relative retention times of the individual components are given and the elution order is discussed. All of the chlorophenols and chlorocatechols can be separated under appropriate operating conditions but simultaneous determination of all the compounds studied resulted in overlapping peaks. Theortho-effect in catechols is stronger than that in phenols. A different order of elution for the compounds studied to that of the corresponding acetate esters is found. Generally, longer retention times for the latter are observed.

I fattori di variabilità genetici, ambientali e colturali della composizione dell'olio d'oliva

2009

The compositon of olive oil results from a multivariate interaction in which genotype, environment, and agronomic-dependent factors are involved. The genotype controls genetic traits accounting for the rate pattern of fruit growth, oil accumulation in mesocarp cells and fruit ripening, while the genotype x environment interaction changes the rate of fruit growth, oil accumulation and fruit ripening pattern. The latter accounts for large changes in oil composition and sensorial features. The influence of genotype is linked to differences in the fruit growth and ripening patterns, though all those factors that may have an influence on fruit size, flesh/pit ratio and relative growth rate have …

Chemical composition and microencapsulation suitability of sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) fruit extract

2021

Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.), a spice obtained by grinding whole sumac berries, is a complex natural product with a plethora of biological activities that can be favorably explored in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical fields. Sicilian sumac is herein chemically investigated by means of a combined NMR/HR MS-based profiling. A hydroalcoholic extract was prepared and its complexity unraveled following fractionation in an alcoholic and an aqueous fraction. The 1H-NMR spectrum of this latter fraction was dominated by the signals of gallic acid and its derivatives, whereas HR MS and HR MS/MS analyses highlighted the diversity in malic acid derivatives. Gallotannins and galloyl flavonol glycosides with…
