Volatile and color composition of young and model-aged Shiraz wines as affected by diammonium phosphate supplementation before alcoholic fermentation

A Shiraz must with low yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) was supplemented with two concentrations of diammonium phosphate (DAP) and then fermented with maceration on grape skins. The nonvolatile, volatile, and color composition of the final wines were investigated. Ethanol and residual sugars were not affected by DAP supplementation, while glycerol, SO 2, and residual YAN increased and acetic acid decreased. DAP-supplemented treatments gave rise to higher concentrations of acetates, fatty acids, and fatty acid ethyl esters but lower concentrations of branched-chain fatty acids and their ethyl esters. No major difference between treatments was observed for higher alcohols, monoterpenes, norisoprenoids, and low-molecular-weight sulfur compounds. DAP-supplemented fermentations resulted in wines with higher concentrations of malvidin-3-glucoside, higher color intensity, and altered color tonality. Model aging studies indicated that higher concentrations of esters are still present in wines from the DAP-treated fermentations after aging. DAP supplementation also resulted in increased concentrations of dimethyl sulfide after model aging. It can be concluded that DAP treatment of a low YAN must fermented by maceration on skins can significantly affect wine color, aroma, and flavor.     

Aroma chemical composition of red wines from different price categories and its relationship to quality

The aroma chemical composition of three sets of Spanish red wines belonging to three different price categories was studied by using an array of gas chromatographic methods. Significant differences were found in the levels of 72 aroma compounds. Expensive wines are richest in wood-related compounds, ethyl phenols, cysteinil-derived mercaptans, volatile sulfur compounds, ethyl esters of branched acids, methional, and phenylacetaldehyde and are poorest in linear and branched fatty acids, fusel alcohols, terpenols, norisoprenoids, fusel alcohol acetates, and ethyl esters of the linear fatty acids; inexpensive wines show exactly the opposite profile, being richest in E-2-nonenal, E-2-hexenal, Z-3-hexenol, acetoin, and ethyl lactate. Satisfactory models relating quality to odorant composition could be built exclusively for expensive and medium-price wines but not for the lower-price sample set in which in-mouth attributes had to be included. The models for quality reveal a common structure, but they are characteristic of a given sample set.     

加热处理对蜂蜜酒香气物质的影响

为研究适合蜂蜜酒发酵的优良工艺条件,以2批荆条蜜(白色和浅琥珀色)为原料,在酒精发酵前对发酵醪液进行加热处理,以不加热处理的样品为对照,采用酿酒酵母FX10进行发酵,发酵结束后测定蜂蜜酒的各项理化指标及挥发性化合物的含量。结果表明,供试酒样中共检测出77种挥发性物质,其中酯类39种、醇类20种、酸类8种、萜烯类4种、羰基化合物6种。加热处理可以显著增加蜂蜜酒中香气物质的种类和含量,含量较高的香气物质有乙酸乙酯、乙酸苯乙酯、乙酸异戊酯、己酸乙酯、辛酸乙酯、癸酸乙酯、月桂酸乙酯、9-十六碳烯酸乙酯、异戊醇、β-苯乙醇、辛酸和癸酸。对蜂蜜酒中香气物质进行主成分分析,发现加热处理的酒样中酯类物质对酒香贡献较大;对照酒样中酯类物质对酒香贡献较小,而醇类物质是其主要挥发性成分。本研究结果为蜂蜜酒的生产提供了一定的理论依据。     

Changes in the concentration of yeast-derived volatile compounds of red wine during malolactic fermentation with four commercial starter cultures of Oenococcus oeni

The effects of malolactic fermentation (MLF) on the concentration of volatile compounds released by yeasts during the production of red wine were investigated by inoculation with four commercial starters of Oenococcus oeni. Volatile compounds in wine at the end of MLF were extracted, analyzed by GC-MS and GC, and compared with those extracted form a noninoculated reference sample. Several esters known to play a role in the aroma profile of red wine, such as C4-C8 ethyl fatty acid esters and 3-methylbutyl acetate, were found to increase with MLF, and their final concentration was dependent on the bacterial starter employed for the induction of MLF. The overall increase of ethyl fatty acid esters was generally larger than the one observed for acetate esters. Ethyl lactate, 3-hydroxybutanoate, 2-phenylethanol, methionol, and gamma-butyrolactone were also increased by bacterial metabolism. The impact of MLF on other volatiles or red wine, including several higher alcohols, fatty acids, and nitrogen compounds, was generally negligible.     

The addition of Propionibacterium freudenreichii to Raclette cheese induces biochemical changes and enhances flavor development

Two mixtures of Propionibacterium freudenreichii commercial strains were tested as adjunct cultures in pasteurized milk Raclette cheese to investigate the ability of propionibacteria (PAB) to enhance flavor development. Cheese flavor was assessed by a trained sensory panel, and levels of free amino acids, free fatty acids, and volatile compounds were determined. The PAB level showed a 1.4 log increase within the ripening period (12 weeks at 11 degrees C). Eye formation, which was not desired, was not observed in PAB cheeses. PAB fermented lactate to acetate and propionate and produced fatty acids by lipolysis, branched chain volatile compounds derived from isoleucine and leucine catabolism and some esters. One of the experimental cheeses received the highest scores for odor and flavor intensity and was characterized by higher frequencies of detection for some minor notes ("propionic"and "whey" odor, "sweet" taste). PAB can therefore be considered as potential adjunct cultures to enhance or modify cheese flavor development.     

Effect of different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on production of volatiles in Napa Gamay wine and Petite Sirah wine

Napa Gamay grapes were fermented with four different strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (VL1, MI16, Fermirouge, and RA17). Petite Sirah grapes were fermented with seven different strains of the same yeast (BM45, Fermirouge, RA17, NI, CX3079, A350, and A796). Volatile compounds formed in the wines were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Volatile compounds found in both wines were alcohols, esters, and acids, as well as some miscellaneous compounds. Isoamyl alcohol was the compound found in the highest relative amount with all four yeast strains in the Napa Gamay wines, followed by 2-phenyl ethanol, monoethyl succinate, and hexanoic acid. The relative amounts of isoamyl alcohol ranged from 30.84% (VL1) to 43.28% (RA17). Major volatile compounds found in Petite Sirah wines were isoamyl alcohol, 2-phenyl ethanol, 2-hydroxy ethyl propanoate, monoethyl succinate, and octanoic acid. The several esters, including 2-hydroxyethyl propanoate, may contribute to the fruity flavor of Petite Sirah wines. Overall, the S. cerevisiae yeast strains used to ferment Napa Gamay grapes and Petite Sirah grapes produced the same major components, with certain variations in formation levels.     

Changes in nitrogen compounds in must and wine during fermentation and biological aging by flor yeasts.

Urea, ammonium, and free amino acid contents were quantified in a must from Vitis vinifera cv. Pedro Ximenez grapes and in fermented wine and after a short aging of this wine by Saccharomyces cerevisiae race capensis yeast under variable oxygen availability conditions. The previous compounds were also determined in a wine in which the nitrogen source was depleted by the same race of flor yeast (old wine) and also following the addition of ammonium ion, L-glutamic acid, and L-proline. Under specific conditions such as low oxygen level and the absence of some nutrients, the yeasts release some amino acids including L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-cysteine, and L-methionine to the medium. These amino acids must originate primarily in a de novo synthesis from ethanol that regenerates NAD(P)+. On the basis of these results, the yeasts may be able to use amino acids not only as nitrogen sources but also as redox agents to balance the oxidation-reduction potential under conditions of restricted oxygen, when electron transport along the respiratory chain may be hindered or limited.     

Investigation of the volatile composition of pinotage wines fermented with different malolactic starter cultures using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOF-MS)

Headspace solid phase microextraction in combination with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC × GC-TOF-MS) was used for the detailed investigation of the impact of malolactic fermentation (MLF) using three commercial Oenococcus oeni strains on the volatile composition of Vitis vinifera cv. Pinotage wines. GC × GC allowed the identification of 115 volatile compounds, including both major constituents and trace-level compounds, in a single analysis. A number of compounds differing in mean concentration levels between the control wines and those fermented with different starter cultures were shown for the first time to be influenced by MLF and/or the bacterial strain. Principal component analysis (PCA) provided excellent separation between the wines fermented with different MLF starter cultures and the control wine. Significantly different levels for some volatile compounds in wines fermented with one of the LAB starter cultures could be indicative of metabolic differences of this strain.     

Formation of volatile sulfur compounds by microbial decomposition of sulfur-containing amino acids in soils

Evolution of volatile sulfur compounds from soils treated with S-containing amino acids was studied by sensitive gas chromatographic techniques involving use of a flame photometric detector fitted with a sulfur filter. The following volatile sulfur compounds were identified as products of microbial decomposition of S-containing amino acids in soils under aerobic or waterlogged conditions: methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide (evolved from soils treated with methionine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine sulfone or S-methyl cysteine); ethyl mercaptan, ethyl methyl sulfide and diethyl disulfide (evolved from soils treated with ethionine or S-ethyl cysteine); and carbon disulfide (evolved from soils treated with cystine, cysteine, lanthionine or djenkolic acid). Small amounts of dimethyl sulfide and carbon disulfide were evolved from soils treated with homocystine, and trace amounts of carbonyl sulfide were evolved from soils treated with lanthionine or djenkolic acid. No volatile sulfur compounds were evolved from soils treated with cysteic acid, taurine, or S-methyl methionine. The amounts of sulfur volatilized from soils treated with the 14 S-containing amino acids studied represented from less than 0·1 per cent to more than 50 per cent of the sulfur added as amino acid. Hydrogen sulfide could not be detected as a gaseous product of microbial decomposition of S-containing amino acids in soils under aerobic or waterlogged conditions.

Volatile compounds of selected strawberry varieties analyzed by purge-and-trap headspace GC-MS

Six strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) varieties, Senga Sengana, Jonsok, Polka, Korona, Bounty, and Honeoye, were studied in relation to composition of their volatile headspace compounds collected by dynamic purge-and-trap concentration. Also, the influence of cultivation technique on the volatile compounds was tested by comparing conventionally and organically cultivated strawberry varieties. In addition, the effect of geographical origin on strawberry volatiles was investigated. The emphasis of this study was lay in the industrial utilization of strawberry. A total of 52 different volatile compounds were determined from frozen strawberries grown in 1997 and 1998. In addition to individual compounds, total areas of chromatogram profiles were compared. The major esters were found to be methyl butanoate, ethyl butanoate, methyl hexanoate, and ethyl hexanoate. With the application of principal component analysis and analysis of variance to the data matrix, the varieties were classified into three groups. Var. Honeoye was most different from the others. Organic cultivation had no effect on strawberry volatiles.

Effect of antioxidant protection of must on volatile compounds and aroma shelf life of Falanghina (Vitis vinifera L.) wine

Two vinification methods involving different degrees of antioxidant protection of Falanghina must during prefermentative steps, and referred as HAMP (high antioxidant must protection) and LAMP (low antioxidant must protection), were compared in terms of fermentation performances of four different yeast strains, composition of the volatile fraction of wines at the end of alcoholic fermentation, and shelf life of wines during storage. The use of HAMP technology resulted in wines with lower volatile acidity and higher concentrations of medium-chain fatty acid ethyl esters, acetates, and volatile fatty acids. For two of the four strains a lower concentration of isoamyl alcohol was also observed. HAMP wines also revealed increased shelf life because of the higher concentration of odor active esters at the end of storage and better preservation of varietal aromas.     

Changes in the volatile composition of a semihard ewe milk cheese induced by high-pressure treatment of 300 MPa

The effect of high-pressure (HP) treatment (300 MPa, 10 min) on the volatile profile of semihard ewe milk cheeses was investigated. The HP treatment was applied at two different stages of ripening (1 and 15 days; 3P1 and 3P15) and microbiota, proteolysis indexes (soluble nitrogen and total free amino acid content), and volatile compounds were assayed at 15, 60, 90, and 150 days of ripening. The intensity of odor and aroma of cheeses was also assayed. 3P1 cheeses presented the highest content of free amino acids and were characterized by the lowest amounts of aldehydes, ketones, short-chain free fatty acids, and terpenes and higher levels of ethanol and ethyl esters. 3P15 cheeses were characterized by the highest content of short-chain free fatty acids and pyruvaldehyde and the lowest abundance of secondary alcohols and were more similar to control cheeses than those HP-treated on the first day. Intensities of odor and aroma were not significantly influenced by the HP treatment. However, the panellists found some differences in 3P1 as compared with control and 3P15 cheeses in what they perceived as lower odor and aroma quality.     

Influence and Interactions of Processing Conditions and Starter Culture on Formation of Acids,Volatile Compounds,and Amino Acids in Wheat Sourdoughs

The aim of this work was to study the influence of process parameters and the starter culture on the characteristics of wheat sourdough by using response surface methodology. Influence of fermentation temperature (16–32°C), ash content of flour (0.6–1.8%), and fermentation time (6–20 hr) were considered as independent factors and their effects were studied in sourdough fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum, L. brevis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or with a combination of yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Formation of acidity, free amino acids, and volatile compounds were considered the main responses. A possibility to enhance formation of potential flavor compounds and precursors without excessive acidity formation in wheat sourdoughs was established. The total amount of amino acids increased by 25–50%, depending on the strain and fermentation conditions. The total amount of volatile compounds increased seven‐ to 100‐fold, depending on the strain and fermentation conditions. Sourdough started with S. cerevisiae was an effective way to optimize the amount of volatile compounds without excessive acidity formation in appropriate processing conditions. Ash content of flour and fermentation time were the most significant factors to modify metabolic activity of wheat sourdoughs. Frequent interactions between the studied factors were observed on the formation of acidity, amino acids, and volatile compounds with most of the strains studied. Possibility to improve current industrial fermentation processes and control flavor attributes of breads by using optimized sourdough was established.

Wine volatile and amino acid composition after malolactic fermentation: effect of Oenococcus oeni and Lactobacillus plantarum starter cultures

Red wine amino acids and volatile compounds were analyzed before and after malolactic fermentation carried out by four different starter cultures of the species Oenococcus oeni and Lactobacillus plantarum. The purpose of this study was to determine whether differences can be attributed to the lactic acid bacteria strain used in this important step of the wine-making process. The malolactic cultures selected for this study were indigenous wine lactic acid bacteria strains. The data were evaluated using different multivariate analysis techniques. Results showed different malolactic behaviors for O. oeni and L. plantarum and significant metabolic differences between both species. A degree of diversity was found within each lactic acid bacteria group, since wines presented specific characteristics depending on the lactic acid bacteria strain used. In all cases, malolactic fermentation seemed to modify the amino acid and volatile composition of the wine.     

Impact of must sugar reduction by membrane applications on volatile composition of Verdejo wines

Climate changes are inducing increased sugar levels of must, which produces negative effects on wine quality, as unbalanced wines with high degrees of alcohol. So, effective strategies to control the increase of sugar levels in must have been studied. One of them is the use of a membrane process, and this is applied in this work. The sugar level of white must from Verdejo (Vitis vinifera variety) was reduced using diverse membrane processes, and the effect of this fact on the volatile composition of the corresponding wines is studied. The study was carried out during three consecutive vintages. An important impact of the reduction of sugar levels of must on the volatile composition of the obtained wines was detected, which was due to some retention phenomena of aromatic and precursor compounds. To minimize the volatile composition modifications, an appropriate selection of the nanofiltration membrane must be done.
