Comparison of wine discrimination with orthonasal and retronasal profilings. Application to Burgundy Pinot Noir wines
1999
Two sensory spaces, corresponding to the same wine sample profiled by nose (BN) and profiled by mouth (BM), were compared. The similarity between the two maps of product differences were measured by multivariate analysis, showing a good agreement and comparable product discrimination by the panel in the two modes, slightly in favor of BN discrimination. The superiority of one particular mode was not established from the comparison of individual performances BN versus BM, but differences between panelists and between descriptor use were found. Two-way canonical variate analysis of BN minus BM scores was also performed: the results revealed that panelists had higher influence than products in…
The Chardonnay wine olfactory concept revisited: A stable core of volatile compounds, and fuzzy boundaries
2011
Abstract An earlier study by the same team showed that Chardonnay wines have common olfactory properties by which wine experts can recognize them. The specific Chardonnay olfactory space was also tentatively linked to the relative concentrations of 29 volatile compounds, regarded as possible aroma-impact compounds. The question now is whether or not those initial results hold independently of the sample under consideration, that is, whether these sensory and chemical spaces are vintage-specific. A series of investigations was conducted on a new set of 46 wines (23 Chardonnay wines and 23 non Chardonnay wines) using the same sensory (wine typicality level) and physico-chemical (Gas Chromatog…
Varietal and geographic classification of french red wines in terms of major acids
1989
Concentrations of acids other than malic and lactic appeared to be related more to area of production than to grape variety. These variables (2- hydroxyglutaric, butyric and isovaleric acid concentrations) were attributed to differences in the technological process used for vinification in the various areas. Shikimic and galacturonic acids were helpful for classifying and discriminating wine varieties. Principal component analysis characterised Cabernet Franc, Grenache and Carignan wines well by their acid content but failed to discriminate Merlot from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault. Stepwise discriminant analysis allowed a clear separation of all wines according to the different varieties…
Validation and biochemical characterisation of beneficial argan oil treatment in biomass propagation for industrial active dry yeast production
2019
Abstract Biomass propagation for the production of active dry yeasts (ADY) is an economically important industrial process where cellular oxidative stress significantly limits yield and fermentative capacity in the final product. Oxidative stress affects macromolecular cell components, such as lipid and proteins, thus impairing many different cellular processes. Its detrimental effect is prevented and alleviated by complex signalling, detoxifying and protein protecting systems, which can be induced by antioxidant treatments. Here we validate the general beneficial effect of argan oil treatment in bench-top simulations of industrial yeast biomass propagation as an effective technological str…
Aroma characterization of freshly-distilled French brandies; their specificity and variability within a limited geographic area
2016
Freshly-distilled French wine brandies were evaluated by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). Six brandy samples were studied, coming from two growth areas, both belonging to the same limited geographic zone, which is a homogeneous vineyard area. The GC-O methodology, using detection frequency analysis, revealed 88 olfactive areas (OAs) for which the detection frequency was ≥ 25%. OAs were then identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in electron and chemical ionization modes and semi-quantified by internal normalization using gas-chromatography with flame ionization detection. Co-eluting species were separated by multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfacto…
More clues about Sensory Impact of Sotolon in Some Flor Sherry Wines
1992
The olfactory impact of sotolon [4,5-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone] in wines was first demonstrated in botrytized wines. In sherry wines it was recently found to occur at concentrations varying from 0 to 500 ppb. The olfactory detection threshold of a sample of purified racemic sotolon was determined to be lower (15 ppb) in white wine than its concentration in most sherries. Its flavor impact in sherries was calculated to be between 1 and 25 OUV. Using MCA of the data obtained from 22 wines (white wines, rancios, Spanish and French sherries) during two tasting sessions by wine professionals, significant positive correlations were found-between the concentration of sotolon and the typica…
HPLC determination of volatile phenols in wines
1993
An alternative to the traditional solvent extraction method used to extract and rapidly quantify ethyl-and vinylphenol and ethyl-and vinylgaiacol from wine is presented. The method is based on retention of volatile phenols on adsorbants. Among the tested resins, the most efficient, AG 2-X8 (anion exchange resin), worked as well with a synthetic solution as with wines. The percolation of clarified wine adjusted to pH 9 on this resin permits, in particular, the elimination of organic acids. Phenols are not eluted after rinsing the column with 1N HCl, but are eluted with methanol after this treatment. Good recovery (91 %) and good repeatability are observed. The eluate is directly analysed by …
Quantitative determination of sotolon in wines by high-performance liquid chromatography
1993
Sotolon (4,5-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone) is a key flavour compound in the french flor-sherry “Vin jaune”. This compound was determined quantitatively by extraction of 25 ml of wine on a XAD-4 resin, elution with diethyl ether, separation by HPLC on a Lichrospher 100 Diol column, elution with dichloromethane/hexane (60/40) and UV detection at 232 nm. The amount of sotolon in “Vin jaune” (120 to 268 μg/l) was related to the development of the yeast film over a period of 6 years. Only 6 to 51 μg/l were found in the “Vin de paille” which is made with overmaturated grapes of the same Savagnin vine-plant but without development of yeasts, and 80 to 140 μg/l in “Tokai” which are partly grow…

Representative champagne wine extracts for gas chromatography olfactometry analysis
1997
Gas chromatography olfactometry (GCO) analysis has proved to be a powerful method to determine key compounds of food aroma, but up to now few papers involving this technique in wine aroma studies were published. An accurate representation of the olfactory quality of the extracts is necessary to ensure the reliability of the conclusions resulting from such analyses. Three commercial champagne wines were used for this study. The champagne wine extracts were obtained from three different extraction methods: adsorption on XAD resins, solvation in dichloromethane, and extraction by demixing ethanol. Thus the extracts were tested by a panel trained on champagne wines, using a profile descriptive…
