Characterisation of polymeric skin and seed proanthocyanidins during ripening in six Vitis vinifera L. cv

The polymeric proanthocyanidin (PAs) composition of skins and seeds from Vitis vinifera L. cv during ripening was evaluated. Six grape varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Malvasia bianca, Moscato bianco, Nascetta, Nebbiolo and Pinot bianco) cultivated in Piedmont (vintage 2008) were collected at five different ripening stages (from 6 to 20 °Brix). Polymeric proanthocyanidins were determined both by vanillin assay and by phloroglucinolysis; these analytical methods were compared showing a significant correlation (r = 0.8321, p < 0.0001 and r = 0.7406, p < 0.0001 for grape skins and seeds, respectively). Acid-catalysed cleavage of the polymer, combined with HPLC separation, enabled quantification of individual polymer subunits, estimation of mean degree of polymerisation (mDP), and the evolution of the extractable polymeric fraction isolated during ripening. Antiradical activity was evaluated as inhibition percentage of DPPH radical. A significant positive correlation between total PAs content and antiradical activity was observed (r = 0.6410, p < 0.0001); on the contrary, the mDP appeared to be negatively correlated to the antiradical activity (r = −0.6238, p < 0.0001).     

A comparison of analytical methods for measuring the color components of red wines

The monomeric and polymeric pigments of 20 young red wines were analysed using most recent of the approaches available for phenolics measurements in wine, including: (i) HPLC with silica-based reversed-phase, (ii) HPLC with polymeric-based reversed-phase columns, (iii) the spectrophotometric Adams’ tannin and polymeric pigments assay, (iv) the Boulton’s copigmentation assay, and (v) the Somers’ unbleached polymeric color assay. Moreover, a modification of an existing HPLC method, i.e. the addition of SO₂ to the mobile phases, allowed the unbleached polymeric pigments to be analysed by HPLC for the first time. The wines displayed a variation in their color density at 520 nm that ranged by 10-fold, and included wines made from Pinot noir, Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Sangiovese, Cagnulari and Cannonau grapes. The total color of wines was an aggregate number of three components: copigmentation (8–30%), total free anthocyanins (24–35%), and polymeric pigment (35–63%). Cross-comparison between the selected method was performed and discussed. In particular, the polymeric pigments estimated by HPLC with polymeric-based reversed-phase column were in good agreement with the result of the reversed-phase C₁₈ column (R² = 0.9703) and the sum of small and large polymeric pigments estimated by the Adams’ assay (R² = 0.9511). The level of copigmentation can be almost completely described by the levels of monomeric pigments (R² = 0.9464) and not by the tannin content as has often been suggested (copigmentation vs tannin: R² = 0.4827).     

Phenolic composition of Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes from Bordeaux vineyard for the 2009-vintage: Comparison to 2006, 2007 and 2008 vintages

Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot skin and seed extracts from Bordeaux grapes were investigated to determine both grape variety and vintage effect on phenolic composition. The total content of polyphenols and tannins in Merlot seeds was higher than that of Cabernet-Sauvignon allowing to discriminate the varieties. HPLC analyses underlined significant differences in the absolute concentration of proanthocyanidins amongst the two varieties and in their composition: mean degree of polymerisation (mDP) and percentage of galloylation of seed extracts were good indicators of grape variety. The vintage effect on the phenolic composition was confirmed for 2009 in comparison to previous vintages. Low values of mDP and concentrations of proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins were found in 2009 seeds and skins. The climatic conditions of 2009 (high rainfall before flowering followed by a strong hydric stress during berries development until ripening) let us hypothesise a lower activation of flavonoid pathway.     

Residues of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) seed oil production as a valuable source of phenolic antioxidants

Phenolic compounds of seven grape seed samples originating from mechanical seed oil extraction were identified and quantified by HPLC–DAD before (intact seeds) and after (press residue) the oil recovery process. Total amounts of all identified compounds ranged from 4.81 (‘Cabernet Mitos’) to 19.12 g/kg (‘Schwarzriesling’) of defatted dry matter (DM; ‘Schwarzriesling’) for integral grape seeds, whereas their content in the press residues ranged from 2.80 (‘Cabernet Mitos’) to 13.76 g/kg of defatted DM (‘Spätburgunder’). This is the first study presenting comprehensive data on the contents of individual phenolic compounds comprising all polyphenolic subclasses of press residues from grape seed oil production also covering the determination of the antioxidant activities of each subclass (Folin–Ciocalteu, FRAP and TEAC assays). Additionally, the effects of different solvents on the yields of phenolic compounds were determined. Maximum yields were obtained using methanol/0.1% HCl (v:v), water [75 °C] and a mixture of ethanol and water [3:1; v:v], respectively, whereas pure ethanol resulted in poor polyphenol extraction. The results of the present study confirm the press residues of grape seed oil production still to be a rich source of polyphenolics with strong antioxidant activity.     

Impact of exogenous tannin additions on wine chemistry and wine sensory character

Tannins are an important part of wine quality and are frequently added during winemaking. Tannin additives and their impact on wine are poorly documented. This work sought to characterize a range of enological tannins and their contribution to wine quality. Enological tannins were analysed for protein precipitable tannins and iron reactive phenolics. One tannin product was added to a Merlot wine during barrel ageing, at a range of concentrations from 60 to 300 mg/l. Condensed and hydrolysable tannins were added to Cabernet Sauvignon wine post-pressing at a recommended and excessive rate. Wines were analysed for anthocyanin, small and large polymeric pigment, precipitable tannin, iron reactive phenolics and sensory character. Enological tannins contained 12-48% tannin and recommended additions had little impact on wine tannin. High tannin additions were readily measured in the wines and were discriminated in sensory analysis with lower intensities of most parameters except brown colour, bitterness and earthy character. Recommended addition rates are too low to impact the measured tannin concentration of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Washington (USA). High enological tannin additions had a measureable impact on final wine had a negative impact on sensory character. Tannins are added to wines for a range of reasons and represent one of many input costs in an industry increasingly seeking efficiencies in response to global economic circumstances, over-supply and an ongoing price point squeeze. This research suggests many tannin additions may be unjustified and have limited or negative impacts on quality.     

Influence of skin maceration time on the proanthocyanidin content of red wines

This paper studies the influence of different maceration times (5, 10 and 20?days) during the elaboration of Monastrell, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon wines on the proanthocyanidin composition and sensory characteristics of the resulting wines. Significant differences were found between wines elaborated with different maceration times. The different maceration times affected the qualitative and quantitative proanthocyanidin composition of the resulting wines, the total proanthocyanidin content increasing with the maceration time. The percentage of skin-derived proanthocyanidins was always higher than that of seed-derived proanthocyanidins for all the maceration time assayed, although the contribution of seed proanthocyanidins to wine composition increased for the longest maceration time. However, the study also shows that differences exist between wines elaborated with the same maceration time but with different varieties, indicating the importance of two factors, the initial concentration of grape phenolic compounds and their extractability, on the final concentration of wine proanthocyanidins. In this way, the wines obtained from Syrah had the highest proanthocyanidin content compared with the corresponding wines from Cabernet Sauvignon or Monastrell, even though Syrah grapes presented the lowest proanthocyanidin content in skins and similar seed proanthocyanidin content to Cabernet and Monastrell grapes.     

Evolution of the phenolic content of red wines from Vitis vinifera L. during ageing in bottle

The evolution of the phenolic content, as measured by spectrophotometric methodologies [total polyphenols (TP), low-polymerized polyphenols (LPP), total anthocyanins (TA), catechins (CAT), proanthocyanidins (PRO) and o-diphenols (OD)], was studied in young red wines from Vitis vinifera L. cv Tempranillo, Graciano and Cabernet Sauvignon during 26 months of ageing in bottle. Although the wines showed differences in their initial phenolic profiles, the evolution trend of the different families of phenolic compounds was similar in the wines from the three grape varieties. TA markedly decreased during ageing in bottle (43% for Tempranillo, 65% for Graciano and 66% for Cabernet Sauvignon), following a first-order kinetic. Calculation of the kinetic parameters revealed that the disappearance rate of TA was 2-fold lower for Tempranillo wine than for Graciano and Cabernet Sauvignon wines, which exhibited similar kinetics. This decrease in TA (due to the disappearance of monomeric anthocyanins), together with a increase registered in CAT and PRO (due to the cleavage of proanthocyanidins and their structural tranformations), was consistent with a decrease in LPP, suggesting the occurrence of condensation reactions during ageing in bottle. The evolution trends observed for TP and OD during ageing in bottle were the results of changes in the different groups of phenolic compounds involved in both determinations. Global phenolic determinations, usually performed in wineries, provided useful information in relation to the evolution of wine polyphenols during ageing in bottle.     

Antioxidant capacity and stilbene contents of wines produced in the Snake River Valley of Idaho

Forty-two wines produced from grapes grown in Idaho were examined in this study. The samples examined were from four monovarietal wines (12 Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 Merlot, 7 Riesling, 14 Chardonnay). Wine samples represented twelve wineries that obtain their fruit from vineyards located within Idaho’s Snake River Valley. Titratable acidity, pH, specific gravity, colour measurements (lightness, chroma, and hue), % haze, total anthocyanins, total phenolics, total tannins, antioxidant capacity, and individual stilbene measurements were performed. The antioxidant capacities (ORAC values) of Idaho wines ranged from 3.1 (Merlot wine) to 87.0 (Cabernet Sauvignon wine) μmol of Trolox/ml (mean = 38.5 μmol of Trolox/ml). Mean ORAC values of Merlot wines (mean = 27.6 μmol of Trolox/ml) were lower than the other three styles (mean for Cabernet Sauvignon wines = 41.0 μmol of Trolox/ml, mean for Chardonnay wines = 42.8 μmol of Trolox/ml, and mean for Riesling wines = 39.4 μmol of Trolox/ml). Free stilbene levels (four different stilbenes) were examined by direct-HPLC/DAD/ESI-MS/MS method. Piceid and resveratrol (both trans- and cis-) were found in the samples. Stilbene levels ranged from 0.97 (Riesling wine) to 12.88 (Cabernet Sauvignon wine) mg (expressed as trans-resveratrol)/l. This is the first paper to report the current chemical composition of Idaho wines.     

Dessert and crab apple seeds as a promising and rich source of all four homologues of tocopherol (α, β, γ and δ)

Tocochromanols composition in apple seeds, obtained as a by-product during the fruit salad and juice production, of twelve varieties - seven crab apple (‘Kerr’, ‘Kuku’, ‘Quaker Beauty’, ‘Riku’, ‘Ritika’, ‘Ruti’ and K-8/9-24) and five dessert apples (‘Antej’, ‘Beforest’, ‘Kent’, ‘Sinap Orlovskij’ and ‘Zarja Alatau’) were studied. Tocopherols and tocotrienols were isolated using the micro-saponification method of high precision and accuracy and they were analysedanalysed by rapid RP-HPLC/FLD and RP-UPLC-ESI/MSⁿ. Four tocopherols, with predominance of homologues α and β, were detected in each tested sample. The seeds from two apple cultivars ‘Antej’ and ‘Beforest’ were characterized by unique and similar ratios of all four tocopherol homologues α:β:γ:δ (1.7:1.5:1.3:1.0 and 2.1:2.0:1.3:1.0, respectively). The concentration range of individual tocopherol homologues (α, β, γ and δ) in apple seeds were as follows: 17.22–25.79, 7.53–29.05, 0.61–13.82 and 0.16–10.79 mg/100 g dry weight basis (dwb), respectively. Moreover, three tocotrienols (α, β and γ) were identified in lesser amounts (0.02–0.74 mg/100 g dwb). Use of apple seeds to isolate tocopherol homologues can ensure better environmental sustainability and effective use of natural plant material.     

Chemical and sensory evaluation of Bordeaux wines (Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot) and correlation with wine age

Wine quality study was carried out with 24 vintages of Cabernet-Sauvignon (CS) and 7 vintages of Merlot (M) produced by two different Bordeaux wine-growing areas. Proanthocyanidin monomers and oligomers were identified and quantified by HPLC-UV-Fluo. Percentage of galloylation (%G), of prodelphinidins (%P) as well as mean degree of polymerisation (mDP) were also determined. Total phenolic compounds, total anthocyanins, total tannins, hue, CI (colour intensity), titratable acidity, ethanol level and pH were evaluated. Sensory analysis concerning astringency and bitterness intensity was also performed. Total phenolic compounds, total anthocyanins, total tannins, tannin monomers, hue, CI, % G, % P, mDP and astringency intensity differentiate both wines (M and CS) according to vintage. Correlations between wine age and: mDP, hue, astringency and tannin monomers (C + EC) are obtained. Qualitative tannin characterisation is established by correlation between astringency and mDP (R² = 0.509, p = 0.051, CS; R² = 0.780, p = 0.000 M). In addition, mDP decreases significantly during ageing (R² = 0.796, p = 0.000; CS and R² = 0.946, p = 0.000; M). Scale patterns between wine mDP and tannin perception (astringency) are proposed.     

Phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties of different grape cultivars grown in China

Skins and seeds of 18 grape cultivars belonging to Oriental and North American Vitis Species/hybrids, and Vitis vinifera were analysed for health beneficial properties. Four phenolic compound parameters (total phenols, flavonoids, flavan-3-ols and anthocyanins) and three antioxidant property parameters (DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, ABTS [2,2-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzothialozine-sulphonic acid)] radical scavenging and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power)) were measured. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for this evaluation and results showed that both phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties in the seeds and skins varied among the cultivars investigated. V. vinifera “Cabernet Sauvignon” had the highest values of phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties in seeds followed by Muscadines, while the lowest appeared in the Oriental Vitis species. As expected, these values of the Euro-Asian or Euro-American hybrids fell between the parents. However, far less variation of these values was observed in the skins among different grape cultivars investigated. Interestingly, even the total phenolic contents in the berries of two cultivars are similar, distributions of phenolic compounds in seeds and skins varied greatly among them. Additionally, significant correlations among different antioxidant assays in both seeds and skins were observed. These antioxidant properties were also found highly correlated to the main phenolic compounds.     

Quality properties of wine from Korean kiwifruit new cultivars

Several domestic varieties of kiwifruit including Actinidia deliciosa cv. ‘Hayward’, ‘Daeheung’, ‘Monty’, ‘Arimold’, ‘Jinmi’, ‘Hyangrok’ and A. chinensis cv. ‘Haenam’ and ‘Golden King’ were utilized for the processing of wines. Kiwifruit wines were analyzed for sugar content, alcohol, acidity, pH, color, total phenols and antioxidant activity by radical scavenging assay ABTS. The soluble solid content of the kiwifruit must ranged between 22 and 25% and then was fermented at 14 °C during 4 months. The amount of alcohol productions differed especially during the first week of fermentation. Among cultivars, ‘Haenam’ and ‘Arimold’ were relatively slower than other wines with regard to alcohol production rate. The yield of wine production was increased from 63.35% to 66.19% in weight by using processing with pectinase.The ‘L’ values of wine made from ‘Hayward’ and ‘Monty’ were lower and darker than those of wines prepared from other cultivars. Wine made from ‘Daeheung’ had total phenols of 790 mg L⁻¹, which was the highest among wines, followed by ‘Haenam’ and ‘Golden King’. ‘Daeheung’ also showed the highest antioxidant activity (22.55 mM TE L⁻¹), while ‘Arimold’ showed the lowest one (10.91 mM TE L⁻¹). The mean overall acceptability scores among kiwifruit wines ranged between 3.8 and 4.5. The sensory evaluations were higher in ‘Golden King’, ‘Monty’, ‘Daeheung’, ‘Arimold’, and ‘Hayward’ than those of ‘Haenam’, ‘Jinmi’, and ‘Hyangrok’. However, for commercial kiwifruit wine production not only overall sensory acceptance, but also functional properties such as total phenols and antioxidant activity, and fruit cultivation volume should be concerned. Therefore, three of kiwifruit cultivars which are ‘Golden King’, ‘Daeheung’, and ‘Hayward’ had the most desirable characteristics suitable for kiwifruit wine production.     

In vitro antioxidant activity of red grape skins

Phenolic antioxidants seem to be partly responsible for the protective effects against cardiovascular diseases attributed to moderate wine consumption. Grape skins greatly contribute to the phenolic composition of red wine. In this paper, the in vitro antioxidant activity of red grape (Vitis vinifera) skins is determined. We show that the radical scavenging activity (C ₅₀ values) against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH^·) of grape skin extracts is relatively high (3.2–11.1 mg dried skin/mg DPPH^·) in relation to other foodstuffs and, as expected, is influenced by grape variety, stage of grape ripening and vintage. The antioxidant potential of grape skins seems to be transferred into wine since grape varieties with skins exhibiting high antioxidant potential also resulted in wines with high antioxidant activity. Statistically significant correlations were found between antioxidant activity and phenolic content (total polyphenols, proanthocyanins, catechins and anthocyanins) for both grape skins and wines.     

Fatty acid composition and phenolic antioxidants of winemaking pomace powder

The fatty acid composition, phenolic constituents and contents, and antioxidant activities of two varieties (‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ and ‘Royal Rouge’) of grape pomace powder from the winemaking industry were examined. Large proportions of polysaturated fatty acids (PUFA), ranging from 60.9% to 64.4%, high ratios of PUFA/SFA, ranging from 2.80 to 3.11, and high ratios of n−6/n−3, ranging from 20.8 to 36.9, were found in both varieties. Five classes of lipids were separated with thin-layer chromatography and identified as polar lipids (PL), sterols (ST), free fatty acids (FFA), triglycerides (TG) and cholesteryl esters (CE). TG showed the highest PUFA contents (64.4% and 66.2%) and n−6/n−3 ratios (70.7 and 55.1), while CE showed the lowest values of PUFA (33.2% and 26.5%). High contents of phenolics and anthocyanins, which contribute to considerably strong antioxidant activity, were found in both varieties. Grape pomace contains considerably high amounts of phenolics, a large proportion of which are anthocyanin pigments (52% of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ and 63% of ‘Royal Rouge’). The HPLC analysis of phenolic compounds showed that catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and gallic acid were major constituents. Antioxidant properties of grape pomace extract significantly varied with variety and appeared to be dependent upon the contents of phenolics. In addition, from the point of nutrition, “Royal Rouge’ had better benefits because of its lower n−6/n−3 ratio, higher contents of phenolic antioxidants and anthocyanin, and higher antioxidant activity than ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’.     

Varietal differentiation of Tannat,Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot grapes and wines according to their anthocyanic composition

The aim of this paper was to establish the correspondence between the anthocyanic profiles of grapes and wines produced in Uruguay. For this purpose, Tannat, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot vineyards in 2002 and 2003 were considered. Grapes samples were taken in the harvest and were peeled, and the skins were stored at −20 °C until analysis. After that, skins were macerated in a 12% ethanol and pH 3,2 solution for 24 hours. Vinifications were carried out with 50 kg of grapes and two replications per vineyard. The anthocyanic composition of the skins extracts and the wines were analysed by H.P.L.C. Delphinidin, petunidin and non-acylated glucosides proportions were significantly higher in Tannat skins and wines. Malvidin and acetates proportions were significantly higher in Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes and wines. Peonidin and coumarates proportions were higher in Merlot skins and wines. The relation between the acetyl and coumarylic forms allowed the differentiation of Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes and wines from Merlot and Tannat, but not these among themselves. The combined consideration of the anthocyanic forms proportions allowed the discrimination of the totality of the grapes and wines samples of each variety.     

Differentiation of co-winemaking wines by their aroma composition

Co-winemaked Monastrell wines with Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, at different proportions have been studied for first time in terms of its odor activity value (OAV) in young wines, aging wines (after 9 months in French oak barrels) and bottled aging wines (aging wines after 6 months in the bottle). The co-winemaking wines showed a different aromatic complexity as they were fruitier and sweeter than the monovarietal ones, enhancing their aroma characteristics, being more evident at 60:40 proportion in case of Merlot for young and aging wines and Cabernet Sauvignon for bottled ones. In terms of extractable oak compounds, Monastrell–Merlot wines showed the highest values suggesting that they may need a shorter period within the barrel than Monastrell–Cabernet Sauvignon ones.     

Anthocyanin,phenolic composition,colour measurement and sensory analysis of BC commercial red wines

This research established a database of analytical values associated with 173 commercial red wines from 7 vintages (1995–2001), 4 varieties (Pinot noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon) and 13 vineyard locations within BC. Wines were analyzed for sulfur dioxide, pH, titratable acidity, phenolics, tartaric esters, flavonols, as well as copigmented, monomeric, polymeric, and total anthocyanins. Colour was evaluated using colour density, hue, and L, a¹, b¹ and chroma measurements. The sensory astringent qualities were characterized on a subset of 78 wines, using a panel of 12 judges. The panel evaluated the magnitude of the astringency, astringent aftertaste, oakiness and bitterness, as well as 3 astringent sub-qualities (surface roughness, drying, puckering). Data were analyzed by analysis of variance, principle component analyses, and canonical discriminant analyses to track the influence of variety, vintage and vineyard location. Trends were observable despite large variation in winemaking techniques. Red colour, colour density, copigmented, monomeric, polymeric and total anthocyanins were lowest in Pinot noir and highest in Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Younger wines had higher concentrations of copigmented, monomeric, and total anthocyanins than did older wines. Canonical discriminant analysis of the analytical and sensory determinations were successful in distinguishing the wines according to where the grapes were grown.     

Effect of commercial mannoproteins on wine colour and tannins stability

Commercial oenological products containing mannoproteins have the purpose of preventing tartrate salts precipitation or achieving wines with a better mouth-feeling. The evaluation of the influence of three commercial mannoproteins on colour and tannin stability of three different red wines (two from Touriga Nacional and one from Alfrocheiro and Aragonês varieties) was studied. The evolution of colour through time was similar for all modalities, resulting in an increase of polymeric pigments and colour hue and a decrease of other parameters, suggesting that there was no influence of commercial mannoproteins on colour stability. The tannin profile evolution showed a possible stabilizing effect of one of the commercial products for tannins with an mDP between 8 and 14. It is possible that the commercial mannoproteins used in this work have some influence on the tannin aggregation evolution, contributing to the delay of tannin polymerisation in red wines.     

Volatile profiles of Cabernet Gernischet wine under rain-shelter cultivation and open-field cultivation using solid-phase micro-extraction–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

The volatile profiles of Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Gernischet wines in vintages 2010 and 2011 from rain-shelter cultivation and open-field cultivation were compared and detected by headspace solid phase micro-extraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that the number and concentration of volatile compounds quantified in wine were lower under rain-shelter cultivation compared with open-field cultivation. The strength of the fruity, fatty, caramel, and floral aromas of the 2010 vintage wines was lower under rain-shelter cultivation condition, and the compounds contributing to herbaceous aroma series were also lower with rain-shelter cultivation in the 2011 vintage wines. However, the strength of fruity, fatty, caramel, floral, and chemical aromas was higher with rain-shelter cultivation in vintage 2011. The cultivations in the two vintages could be clearly divided into three groups by principal component analysis. The difference between two treatments was significant in vintage 2010, whereas there was no significant difference in vintage 2011. The present work reveals the effects of rain-shelter cultivation on Cabernet Gernischet wine volatile compounds and explains that the technique is helpful in improving the wine quality in some rainy regions.     

不同年份干红葡萄酒香气物质分析研究(英文)

葡萄酒香气物质是决定葡萄酒的风格及质量的重要化学成分。分析研究我国不同原产地域葡萄酒香气成分对葡萄酒质量的感官标准体系的建立,以及对葡萄酒生产工艺优化和质量评价有着重要意义。本试验研究了宁夏贺兰山东麓原产地域不同红色酿酒品种所酿造的不同年份的干红葡萄酒香气的化学成分,采用溶液萃取法提取3个单品种2001年份的赤霞珠、梅鹿辄、蛇龙珠干红和1997、1994年份的蛇龙珠干红香气物质成分;用气相色谱-质谱进行分离测定,结合计算机检索技术对分离化合物进行鉴定,应用TIC峰面积归一法测定各成分的相对含量;分别分离出36、31、32、32和30个峰,鉴定出36、31、31、31和29个香气化学成分,共占其色谱流出组分总量的为100.00%、100.00%、99.97%、99.74%和99.66%。它们主要是脂肪羧酸、脂肪醇、芳香醇、低级脂肪酸、脂肪酮、杂环类(呋喃类、噻吩类)、醚类等。在相同酿造工艺处理条件下,不同单品种干红葡萄酒中,相对含量较高的香气成分种类相似,而微量特征香气成分差异较为显著,从而构成各类不同品种葡萄酒独特香气和风格。2001年、1997年和1994年三个不同年份的蛇龙珠干红在大罐陈酿过程中,共检测出香气成分37种。其中相同的香气化合物成分有25个。表明陈酿过程中,香气成分变化较为平缓。香气成分含量变化规律为:酯类由低→高→较低,醇类由高→低→最高,羧酸类、酮类及杂环类都呈现出由高→低逐渐转化的趋势,醚类化合物由低→高→较高的变化规律。
