Abstract: | Carbonyl compounds play an important role in musts from botrytized grapes. Some of them, such as glyoxal and methylglyoxal, may explain a considerable part of bindable SO(2). Others, such as 2- and 5-oxogluconic acids, produced by gluconic acid oxidation in proportions respectively from 2.5 per 1 play an interesting role as SO(2) binding indicator. Finally, the levels of some compounds such as dihydroxyacetone, 5-oxofructose, and delta-gluconolactone in balance with gluconic acid are well correlated with SO(2) binding powers and also explain a large part of the bindable SO(2) in musts. During alcoholic fermentation, only dihydroxyacetone among these three compounds is metabolized by yeast. Thus, two compounds present in grapes, delta-gluconolactone and 5-oxofructose, with three yeast SO(2)-binding byproducts, ethanal, pyruvic, and 2-oxoglutaric acids, explain much of the SO(2) binding power in wines from botrytized grapes. |
