Abstract
Wine and beer are the most appreciated and consumed beverages in the world. This success is mainly due to their characteristic taste, smell, and aroma, which can delight consumer’s palates. These olfactory characteristics are produced from specific classes of volatile compounds called “volatile odor-active compounds” linked to different factors such as age and production. Given the vast market of drinking beverages, the characterization of these odor compounds is increasingly important. However, the chemical complexity of these beverages has led the scientific community to develop several analytical techniques for extracting and quantifying these molecules. Even though the recent “green-oriented” trend is directed towards direct preparation-free procedures, for some class of analytes a conventional step like derivatization is unavoidable. This review is a snapshot of the most used derivatization strategies developed in the last 15 years for VOAs’ determination in wine and beer, the most consumed fermented beverages worldwide and among the most complex ones. A comprehensive overview is provided for every method, whereas pros and cons are critically analyzed and discussed. Emphasis was given to miniaturized methods which are more consistent with the principles of “green analytical chemistry”.

[PMID: 36076771 PMCID: PMC9455680 DOI: 10.3390/foods11172584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The enantiomeric contents of 2-pentanol of Baijiu were analyzed by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using β-cyclodextrin as a chiral stationary phase. In this study, the average enantiomeric ratios R:S were 72:28, 64:36, and 94:6 in soy sauce aroma-type Baijiu (SSB), strong aroma-type Baijiu (STB), and light aroma-type Baijiu (LTB), respectively, and only (R)- configuration was found in rice aroma-type Baijiu (RTB). The highest enantiomeric concentration of 2-pentanol was found in STB. (R)-2-pentanol dominated in 48 Baijiu studied, and the concentration of (R)-2-pentanol was higher than that of the (S)-configuration. The results showed that the enantiomers of 2-pentanol were discrepant in different aroma types of Baijiu, and it may be the result of differences in raw materials, environment, and production processes. The 2-pentanol enantiomers had different odor characteristics, with different olfactory thresholds in pure water and 46% ethanol solutions by sensory analysis. (R)-2-pentanol was described as paint, rubber, grease, while the (S)-form had mint, plastic, and pungent notes. The olfactory thresholds of (R)- and (S)-form were 163.30 mg/L and 78.58 mg/L in 46% ethanol and 12.62 mg/L and 3.03 mg/L in pure water, respectively. The different enantiomeric distribution and aroma characteristics of the 2-pentanol enantiomers in Baijiu could be a potential marker for determining adulteration.

Abstract
Enantiomers of 1,2-Propylene glycol (1,2-PG) were investigated in 64 commercial Chinese Baijiu including soy sauce aroma-type Baijiu (SSB), strong aroma-type Baijiu (STB), and light aroma-type Baijiu (LTB), via chiral gas chromatography (β-cyclodextrin). The natural enantiomeric distribution and concentration of 1,2-PG in various baijiu were studied to evaluate whether the distribution and content of the two isomers of 1,2-PG were correlated with the aroma type and storage year. The results showed that 1,2-PG has a high enantiomeric ratio and the (S)-configuration predominated in SSB. The average S/R enantiomeric ratio of this compound in SSB was approximately 87:13 (±3.17), with an average concentration of 52.77 (±23.70) mg/L for the (S)-configuration and 8.72 (±3.63) mg/L for the (R)-enantiomer. The (R)-configuration was predominant in the STB, whereas neither (S) nor (R)-form of 1,2-PG were detected in LTB. The content of the two configurations of 1,2-PG in the JSHSJ vintage of SSB showed a wave variation, with an average S/R enantiomeric ratio of 89:11 (±1.15). The concentration of (R)-1,2-PG in XJCTJ vintage liquors showed an upward and then downward trend with aging time, with an overall downward trend, and the concentration of (S)-form showed a wavy change with an overall upward trend. Except for the LZLJ-2019 vintage where both (R) and (S)-1,2-PG were present, all other samples only existed (R)-form, and a decreasing trend of (R)-enantiomer with aging time was observed. The enantiomeric ratio of 1,2-PG might be one of the potential markers for adulteration control of Baijiu as industrial 1,2-PG usually presented in the racemic mixture. Sensory analysis revealed olfactory thresholds of 4.66 mg/L and 23.92 mg/L for the (R)- and (S)-configurations in pure water respectively. GC-O showed both enantiomers exhibited different aromatic nuances.

Abstract
cis-2-Methyl-4-propyl-1,3-oxathiane (cis-2-MPO), arising from 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3-SH) and acetaldehyde, was recently identified in wine, but the enantiomeric distribution was unknown. Such information could reveal influences on wine aroma, given the impact of chirality on odorant molecules. Herein, a stable isotope dilution assay employing headspace solid-phase microextraction with chiral gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was developed, validated, and applied to a selection of wines. Studies with (3R)-3-SH revealed the elution order of the cis-2-MPO enantiomers and the concentrations of (2R,4S)-2-MPO and (2S,4R)-2-MPO in the studied wines ranged from undetected to 250 ng/L and 303 ng/L, respectively. Strong positive correlations were found between (3R)-3-SH and (2S,4R)-2-MPO (r = 0.654), and (3S)-3-SH and (2R,4S)-2-MPO (r = 0.860). Additionally, cis-2,4,4,6-tetramethyl-1,3-oxathiane, constituted from acetaldehyde and 4-methyl-4-sulfanylpentan-2-ol (4-MSPOH), was identified in wine for the first time. This new 1,3-oxathiane, which presents a novel fate for 4-MSPOH, was detected in wines as a single enantiomer at up to 28 ng/L.

Abstract
A number of lactones and furanones associated with pleasant odorants play a vital role in grape and wine aroma profiles. However, they are usually present at trace levels and are particularly challenging to measure. In this work, an optimized method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ-MS/MS) was developed for simultaneous determination of 14 lactones and 3 furanones. The validation was carried out using different types of wine as matrices, and satisfactory linearity, sensitivity, trueness and precision were confirmed. Furaneol and sotolon showed significantly lower limits of detection (LODs) in three real wines compared to model wine due to the matrix effect. Furthermore, the method was successfully applied to investigate the concentration range of lactones and furanones in several icewines, dry red and white wines. Icewines contained higher concentrations of most lactones and furanones compared with dry red and white wines. Partial least squares-discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) also indicated that γ-hexa-, γ-octa-, γ-nona-, γ-deca-, δ-hexa-, and δ-decalactone, as well as 5,6-dihydro-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one (C10 massoia lactone), sotolon and homofuraneol contributed greatly to the discrimination between icewines and dry wines. Moreover, the calculation of odor activity value (OAV) suggested that γ-octa-, γ-nona-, and γ-decalactone, as well as furaneol and homofuraneol contributed greatest to the aroma of icewines.

Abstract
Chirality plays an important role in flavor research. This will be outlined using selected examples from the key areas analysis, authenticity assessment, biogenesis, and odor perception. Developments of analytical techniques, in particular the use of chiral stationary phases in capillary gas chromatography, enabled the determination of naturally occurring configurations of chiral volatiles at trace levels. Thus, knowledge of pathways and enzymes involved in the biogenesis of chiral substances was acquired, and enantioselective analysis has become a prominent tool in the authenticity assessment of flavorings. Increasing information is also available on structure-odor relationships of chiral flavor compounds and the influence of their configurations on odor thresholds and odor properties. A substantial extension of these data sets and a further understanding of the role of chirality in the perception of aroma compounds is expected from studies on the enantioselectivity of odorant receptor systems. Developments in these areas will be put into a historical perspective, recent progress will be emphasized, and data gaps will be described.

Abstract
The alkaloid enantiomers are well-known to have different physiological and pharmacological effects, and to play an important role in enantioselectivity metabolism with enzymes catalysis in tobacco plants. Here, we developed an improved method for simultaneous and high-precision determination of the individual enantiomers of nornicotine, anatabine and anabasine in four tobacco matrices, based on an achiral gas chromatography-nitrogen phosphorus detector (GCNPD) with commonly available Rtx-200 column using (1S)-(-)-camphanic chloride derivatization. The method development consists of the optimization of extraction and derivatization, screening of achiral column, analysis of the fragmentation mechanisms and evaluation of matrix effect (ME). Under the optimized experimental conditions, the current method exhibited excellent detection capability for the alkaloid enantiomers, with coefficients of determination (R2) > 0.9989 and normality test of residuals P > 0.05 in linear regression parameters. The ME can be neglected for the camphanic derivatives. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) ranged from 0.087 to 0.24 μg g - 1 and 0.29 to 0.81 μg g - 1, respectively. The recoveries and within-laboratory relative standard deviations (RSDR) were 94.3%~104.2% and 0.51%~3.89%, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied to determine the enantiomeric profiling of cultivars and curing processes. Tobacco cultivars had a significant impact on the nornicotine, anatabine, anabasine concentration and enantiomeric fraction (EF) of (R)-nornicotine, whereas the only significant change induced by the curing processes was an increase in the EF of (R)-anabasine.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2020; 68:8676-8687.

Abstract
cis-2-Methyl-4-propyl-1,3-oxathiane (cis-2-MPO) was recently identified in wine and proposed to arise from the reaction of 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3-SH) and acetaldehyde. However, the evolution profile of cis-2-MPO during alcoholic fermentation (AF) and storage and its relationship with varietal thiols and acetaldehyde production were unknown. These aspects were investigated by fermenting Sauvignon blanc juice with J7 and/or VIN13 yeast strains and assessing the stability of cis-2-MPO during wine storage. Moderate to strong Pearson correlations verified similar evolution trends between acetaldehyde, 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate, and cis-2-MPO, with initial increases and a peak during the early to middle stages of AF before consecutive decreases until the end. Contrarily, 3-SH correlated moderately only at the end of AF. A consistent decrease observed for cis-2-MPO when spiked into Sauvignon blanc wine and assessed during 1-year storage revealed its general instability, but acetaldehyde addition (100 mg/L), pH 3.0, and storage at 4 °C all appeared to retain cis-2-MPO. These results have implications for wine aroma and the potential for cis-2-MPO to act as a sink (or source) for 3-SH in wine over time.

Abstract
Thiols are important natural molecules with diverse functions, ranging from acting as antioxidants that prevent chronic diseases to contributing aromas to foods and beverages. Biological thiols such as glutathione are of particular interest due to their functional roles, which include helping maintain cellular redox homeostasis and detoxifying reactive oxygen species. However, knowledge of thiol metabolism in plants is limited to studying known compounds, whereas other important thiol-containing metabolites could also exist. This work aimed to develop a new analytical approach for screening of thiols in plants, using four vegetal examples and beginning with HPLC-MS/MS in precursor ion scan mode, after extraction and thiol-specific derivatisation with 4,4'-dithiodipyridine (DTDP). Compound identity for prospective thiols was then proposed using HPLC with high resolution MS, and verified with authentic standards. This approach could lead to prospecting studies that identify thiols with potential roles in metabolic pathways, nutritional value of vegetables, or flavouring of foods.

Abstract
Certain volatile thiols are some of the most potent odour-active molecules that are found in nature. Thiols play significant roles in the aroma qualities of a range of foods and beverages, including wine, with extremely low odour detection thresholds (nanogram per litre range). A fundamental understanding of their formation, fate, and impact essentially depends on the development of suitable analytical methods. The analysis of volatile thiols in foods and beverages is a challenging task when considering (1) the complexity of food and beverage matrices and (2) that thiols are highly reactive, low molecular-weight volatiles that are generally present at trace to ultra-trace concentrations. For the past three decades, the analytical evaluation of volatile thiols has been intensively performed in various foods and beverages, and many novel techniques related to derivatisation, isolation, separation, and detection have been developed, particularly by wine researchers. This review aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the major analytical methodologies that are proposed for potent volatile thiol analysis in wine, foods, and other beverages. The analytical challenges for thiol analysis in foods and beverages are outlined, and the main analytical methods and recent advances in methodology are summarised and evaluated for their strengths and limitations. The key analytical aspects reviewed include derivatisation and sample preparation techniques, chromatographic separation, mass spectrometric detection, matrix effects, and quantitative analysis. In addition, future perspectives on volatile thiol research are also suggested.

Abstract
The separation of enantiomers has been started in the past and continues to be a topic of great interest in various fields of research, mainly because these compounds could be involved in biological processes such as, for example, those related to human health. Great attention has been devoted to studies for the analysis of enantiomers present in food products in order to assess authenticity and safety. The separation of these compounds can be carried out utilizing analytical techniques such as gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, and other methods. The separation is performed mainly employing chromatographic columns containing particles modified with chiral selectors (CS). Among the CS used, modified polysaccharides, glycopeptide antibiotics, and cyclodextrins are currently applied.

Abstract
On the basis of the chemistry of wine and the co-occurrence of 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3-SH) and acetaldehyde, we investigated the existence of 2-methyl-4-propyl-1,3-oxathiane (1) and identified the presence of a single detectable geometric isomer, cis-1, in wines for the first time. A stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) using headspace-solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed and validated, and used to quantitate cis-1 in a survey of wines, revealing a range from undetectable (limit of detection = 2.6 ng/L) to 460 ng/L. The odor detection threshold of 1 (using a standard comprising 85% cis-1 and 15% trans-1) in neutral white wine was determined to be 7.1 μg/L. Despite cis-1 not appearing above the determined sensory threshold in the studied wines, the findings demonstrated the presence of a new volatile sulfur compound with a strong correlation to 3-SH concentration ( r = 0.72), showing that cis-1 has potential implications for the fate of the important wine aroma compound 3-SH.

Chemical and Sensory Evaluation of Magnetic Polymers as a Remedial Treatment for Elevated Concentrations of 3-Isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine in Cabernet Sauvignon Grape Must and Wine.

Abstract
3-Isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP) is a potent odorant present in grapes and wines that is reminiscent of green capsicum. Suprathreshold concentrations can lead to obvious vegetative characters and suppress desirable fruity aroma nuances in wines, but options to manage IBMP concentrations are limited. This work investigated pre- and postfermentation addition of a putative imprinted magnetic polymer (PIMP) as a remedial treatment for elevated concentrations of IBMP in Cabernet Sauvignon grape must in comparison to nonimprinted magnetic polymer (NIMP) and to a commercially available polylactic acid (PLA) based film added postfermentation. Chemical and sensory analyses of wines showed that PIMP treatments were more effective than PLA film for decreasing "fresh green" aroma nuances without negatively impacting overall aroma profiles and that postfermentation addition of a magnetic polymer removed up to 74% of the initial IBMP concentration compared to 18% for PLA. Prefermentation addition of magnetic polymers removed 20-30% less IBMP compared to that of postfermentation addition but also had less of an effect on other wine volatiles and color parameters.

Abstract
Five co-located clones of Sauvignon blanc grapes were fermented under controlled conditions at laboratory-scale to investigate the impact of yeast strain, commercial enzyme, or nutrient addition on the concentrations of enantiomers of 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3-SH) and 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate (3-SHA) in resulting wines. The relationship of these enantiomers with the odorless 3-SH precursors present in diastereomeric forms in grape juice was also examined. Possible variations may have existed due to clone type, not only for the diastereomers of 3-SH precursors in juices but also for the enantiomers of 3-SH and 3-SHA in the resulting wines, although there was no obvious stereochemical relationship between precursors and free thiols. From a flavor enhancement perspective, the use of a commercial enzyme in the juice significantly enhanced 3-SH production for some clones. In contrast, less impact on the production of 3-SH and 3-SHA was seen as a result of yeast strain and nutrient regardless of clone type.
