Grape different

Careful records must be kept to enable verification of compHance. Each lot of wine must be traceable back to the grapes and vineyard. Tanks must be carefully gauged and the capacities recorded on them. If the wine is to be labeled "estate botded," not only must the wine be fermented, processed, and bottled by the state winery at thein Hsted address, but the vineyard must also be owned or controlled by that winery. Other label terrninology, subject to some further intricacies, are "produced," ie, fermented 75% or made into a different class of wine "prepared," "vinted," or "cellared," ie, subjected to ceUar processing or aging without changing the class of wine "blended," ie, combined at the stated address, wines (probably purchased) of the same class and type and "botded" or "packed" by the stated winery. 

This example demonstrates the most challenging problem of flavor chemistry, ie, each flavor problem may require its own analytical approach however, a sensory analysis is always required. The remaining unknown odorants demand the most sensitive and selective techniques, and methods of concentration and isolation that preserve the sensory properties of complex and often dehcate flavors. Furthermore, some of the subtle odors in one system will be first identified in very different systems, like o-amino acetophenone in weasels and fox grapes. 

Cha.ra.cter Impa.ct Items. The character impact item is a chemical or blend of chemicals that provide the principal portion of a flavor s sensory identity, ie, when tasted and/or smelled, the item is reminiscent of the named character, eg, vanillin is the character impact item for vanilla flavors (Table 6). A character item for one flavor can contribute to another flavor in a different way, for example, ethyl oenanthate is a character item for the grape flavor of the Vinus vinifera type and is a contributor to the flavor of the concord grape, ie, the labmska-type grape. 

A number of handbooks and monographs are available with detailed descriptions of a variety of plant products and their use (Shahidi and Naczk, 1995). From a more practical point of view, an interlaboratory comparison between six university and industry laboratories of 17 extracts of spices, teas, coffees, and grape skin and of tomato peel slurry established within the framework of an EU sponsored programme, would be of interest (Schwarz et al, 2001). In this collaboration, detailed chemical analysis of the content of different phenolic compounds is compared with six antioxidant assays for the 17 extracts including different extraction procedures. 

Recent scientific investigations of natural polyphenols have demonstrated their powerful antioxidant property (Niki et al, 1995). Several classes of polyphenols have been chemically identified. Some of these are grape polyphenols, tea polyphenols, soy polyphenols, oligomeric proanthocyanidines (OPA) and other natural polyphenols of the flavone class. Rice bran polyphenols are different from the above in that they are p-hydroxy cinnamic acid derivatives such as p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid and p-sinapic acid. Tricin, a flavone derivative, has also been isolated from rice bran. 

Petnnidin was detected in amounts above 10% of the total anthocyanin content in only 4 of the 44 frnits listed in Table 4.3.1, in 1 of 13 vegetables shown in Table 4.3.3, in 2 kinds of beans and in 1 nut (Table 4.3.4). Petunidin was found in different grape species snch as cv. Cabernet Sauvignon, ° variety Isabelle, " cv. Pallagrello, cv. Piedirosso Vesnvio, " cv. Nerello Mascalese, and cv. Clinton." None of the foods listed in the fonr tables presented petnnidin as the sole aglycone. 

Advances in analytical procedures resulted in several reports on anthocyanins acy-lated with hydroxycinnamic acids (p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic, sinapic, and 3,5-dihydroxycinnamic acids), hydroxybenzoic acids (p-hydroxybenzoic and gallic acids), and aliphatic acids (malonic, acetic, malic, oxalic, succinic and tartaric acids). However, not all of them were found in anthocyanins isolated from foods. Among the 44 fruits listed in Table 4.3.1, 15 presented acylated anthocyanins as did 12 of 13 vegetables shown in Table 4.3.3 and 2 of the 9 grains cited in Table 4.3.4. On the other hand, acylated anthocyanins were found in all grapes from Vitis species, although at different abundance levels, as can be seen in Table 4.3.2. A higher... 

To obtain anthocyanins closer to their natural state, a number of researchers have used neutral solvents for initial extraction such as 60% methanol, n-butanol, cold acetone, mixtures of acetone, methanol, and water, or simply water. Methanol is the most common solvent used for anthocyanin extraction. Metivier et al. (1980) compared the efficiency of extraction with three different solvents (methanol, ethanol, and water) and different acids, and found that methanol extraction was 20% more effective than ethanol and 73% more effective than water when used for anthocyanin recovery from grape pomace. 

To detect adulteration of wine. Bums et al. (2002) found that the ratios of acetylated to p-coumaroylated conjugates of nine characteristic anthocyanins served as useful parameters to determine grape cultivars for a type of wine. Our laboratory utilized mid-infrared spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis to provide spectral signature profiles that allowed the chemically based classification of antho-cyanin-containing fruits juices and produced distinctive and reproducible chemical fingerprints, making it possible to discriminate different juices. " This new application of ATR-FTIR to detect adulteration in anthocyanin-containing juices and foods may be an effective and efficient method for manufacturers to assure product quality and authenticity. 

The winemaker is always facing problems due to the weakness of grapes which composition is variable and different for each vintage. He tries to prevent oxidation and to work with soft conditions to preserve grapes components important for the wine s equilibrium. The sanitary state of the harvest is of first importance Grapes composition depends on the variety, terroir, viticulture and climatic conditions. The main objective for the winemaker is to keep and valorize grape components like aromas which will determine the quality of the wine...
