Abstract
Sensory analysis is an interdisciplinary field that combines multiple disciplines to analyze food qualitatively and quantitatively. At present, this analysis method has been widely used in product development, quality control, marketing, flavor analysis, safety supervision and inspection of alcoholic beverages. Due to the changing needs of analysis, new and more optimized methods are still emerging. Thereinto, intelligent and biometric technologies with growing attention have also been applied to sensory analysis. This work summarized the sensory analysis methods from three aspects, including traditional artificial sensory analysis, intelligent sensory technology, and innovative technologies. Meanwhile, the application sensory analysis in alcoholic beverages and its industrial production was scientifically emphasized. Moreover, the future tendency of sensory analysis in the alcoholic beverage industry is also highlights.

Abstract
In 2015, an experiment was designed to investigate the distribution and variance of in winegrape flavonoids across the ripening phase in the Napa Valley. This Cabernet Sauvignon experiment was intended to evaluate the polyphenol differences across Napa Valley in order to understand parameters controlling "proanthocyanidin activity." This method has shown promise in understanding proanthocyanidin (PA) astringency based on size distribution, pigmentation, conformation, and composition. Results from whole berry partial extractions showed that seed PA material was driving PA activity early in the ripening phase, while the formation of the pigmented polymer led to a decrease later in the growing season. Multivariate analysis showed that the main drivers of changes across the ripening phase were the molecular masses of PAs and the amount of pigmentation. Given the high amount of variability seen in the experiment between sites in such a small geographical area, the results suggest that manipulation of PA activity may be possible in the vineyard, perhaps explaining variations in wine mouthfeel attributes between locations. These results can be used to develop furthermore controlled experiments targeting the variables responsible for PA activity changes.

Abstract
This study aimed to establish relationships between wine composition and in-mouth sensory properties using a sensometabolomic approach. Forty-two red wines were sensorially assessed and chemically characterised using UPLC-QTOF-MS for targeted and untargeted analyses. Suitable partial least squares regression models were obtained for "dry", "sour", "oily", "prickly", and "unctuous". "Dry" was positively contributed by flavan-3-ols, anthocyanin derivatives (AntD), valine, gallic acid and its ethyl ester, and peptides, and negatively by sulfonated flavan-3-ols, anthocyanin-ethyl-flavan-3-ols, tartaric acid, flavonols (FOL), hydroxycinnamic acids (HA), protocatechuic ethyl ester, and proline. The "sour" model included molecules involved in "dry" and "bitter", ostensibly as a result of cognitive interactions. Derivatives of FOLs, epicatechin gallate, and N-acetyl-glucosamine phosphate contributed positively to "oily", as did vanillic acid, HAs, pyranoanthocyanins, and malvidin-flavan-3-ol derivatives for "prickly", and sugars, glutathione disulfide, AntD, FOL, and one HA for "unctuous". The presented approach offers an interesting tool for deciphering the sensory-active compounds involved in mouthfeel perception.

Abstract
To produce quality dry red wines with high-acidity grapes of Vitis amurensis, an experiment was designed to adjust pH during winemaking by adding KHCO3 at two time points and two pH levels in conjunction with malolactic fermentation (MLF). The organic acids and volatiles were detected by HPLC and GC-MS separately, combing with the color characteristic and sensory evaluation, we investigated the quality of V.amurensis wines under pH adjustment. Results showed that the pH adjustment weakened the wine color slightly but helped to initiate MLF. The low pH value of alcoholic fermentation favored the development of esters and higher alcohols. Higher pH levels promoted a sufficient MLF and enhanced the global aroma levels by 1.14-1.25 times, which led to higher sensory scores. In conclusion, KHCO3 addition and MLF improved the quality of V. amurensis dry red wines, chemical addition after alcoholic fermentation was more effective for cold regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Historically, the effect of wine grape shading on flavonoids has investigated the impact of light incidence on proanthocyanidin (PA), flavonol, or anthocyanin concentration. In addition to concentration, the current experiment was designed to look at changes in PA composition, size and tannin activity through ripening. Tannin activity is a methodology for assessing the impact of structure and size on the affinity of tannin towards a hydrophobic surface and is considered to be a proxy for predicted astringency descriptive quality. In 2016 a shade cloth study was imposed on Cabernet Sauvignon on Mt Veeder, within the larger Napa Valley viticultural area. A control, which was unshaded, and two treatments consisting of 40% and 80% shade were applied at the onset of veraison. RESULTS Results showed significant differences in the composition and concentration of anthocyanins throughout ripening. Compositional differences in PA were also observed, where shaded treatments had a significantly higher proportion of galloylated subunits. The molecular mass of the extracted tannin was significantly lower in the unshaded control than in the 80% shade treatment. These factors led to a lower measured tannin activity in extracts from exposed fruit. CONCLUSION This work suggests that manipulation of canopy architecture, such as artificial shading, leads to changes in berry pigmentation, tannin composition and activity. These results show that the astringency and mouthfeel characteristics of a wine may be altered by vineyard management practices. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Malfeito-Ferreira M. Fine wine recognition and appreciation: It is time to change the paradigm of wine tasting. Food Res Int 2023; 174:113668. [PMID: 37981366 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
Wine quality maybe understood under two perspectives: (a) commercial quality, intended to satisfy overall consumers, and (b) fine wine quality, aimed at achieving a product with aesthetic value. The current food sensory techniques (e.g. Descriptive Analysis) have been successfully applied to develop wines accepted worldwide and characterized by pleasant sweetish flavours and smooth mouthfeel. On the contrary, these techniques are not suited to characterize fine wines given their dependence on sensory properties with aesthetic value. The conventional tasting approaches follow the sequence of vision, smell (orthonasal), taste and mouthfeel, ending by an overall evaluation. The sensory descriptors tend to be analytic (e.g. different aromas and tastes) or synthetic (e.g. body, structure) and the quality judgement is left for the final step. Some synthetic attributes may have an aesthetic significance (e.g. complexity, harmony, depth) and are more valued when the analytic or synthetic descriptors are highly praised (e.g. oakiness, silkiness, body, minerality). Consequently, these highly praised attributes are regarded as surrogates of fine wine quality. However, commercial wines are frequently judged of higher quality than fine wines irrespective of the taster expertise. We argue that the conventional sensory analysis sequence makes the overall evaluation secondary in relation to the previous analytical steps blurring the assessment of wine's aesthetic properties. Probably due to top-down processing, the initial evaluation of colour or flavours governs the final overall quality evaluation that may be inconsistently rated. Then, to promote the recognition of fine wines, tasting should begin by first acknowledging the aesthetic properties and only proceed to the analytical steps if necessary. A tasting method is proposed to consumer educational programs where emotional responses are used to explain the differences between commercial and fine wine styles. Furthermore, cultural aspects should be included to appreciate the wholeness of wine. Hopefully, this holistic perspective would turn wine appreciation more approachable and facilitate the recognition of fine wines among consumers, increasing their appreciation and enjoyment.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:3328-3365.

Abstract
Astringency and more generally mouthfeel perception are relevant to the overall quality of the wine. However, their origin and description are still uncertain and are constantly updating. Additionally, the terminology related to mouthfeel properties is expansive and extremely diversified, characterized by common traditional terms as well as novel recently adopted descriptors. In this context, this review evaluated the mention frequency of astringent subqualities and other mouthfeel attributes in the scientific literature of the last decades (2000-August 17, 2022). One hundred and twenty-five scientific publications have been selected and classified based on wine typology, aim, and instrumental-sensorial methods adopted. Dry resulted as the most frequent astringent subquality (10% for red wines, 8.6% for white wines), while body-and related terms-is a common mouthfeel sensation for different wine types, although its concept is still vague. Alongside, promising analytical and instrumental techniques investigating and simulating the in-mouth properties are discussed in detail, such as rheology for the viscosity and tribology for the lubrication loss, as well as the different approaches for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the interaction between salivary proteins and astringency markers. A focus on the phenolic compounds involved in the tactile perception was conducted, with tannins being the compounds conventionally found responsible for astringency. Nevertheless, other non-tannic polyphenolic classes (i.e., flavonols, phenolic acids, anthocyanins, anthocyanin-derivative pigments) as well as chemical-physical factors and the wine matrix (i.e., polysaccharides, mannoproteins, ethanol, glycerol, and pH) can also contribute to the wine in-mouth sensory profile. An overview of mouthfeel perception, factors involved, and its vocabulary is useful for enologists and consumers.

Abstract
Recently, the use and commercial availability of non-Saccharomyces yeasts (NSY) in winemaking to reduce alcohol content have increased. However, research exploring the influence on sensory quality of the wine, particularly during storage, is limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the sensory profiles of Merlot and Chardonnay wines made with pectinase-producing NSY, with added substrate, that is, pectin. Apple pectin (0 or 0.5 g/L) was added to Merlot and Chardonnay grape musts after inoculation with (a) only Saccharomyces cerevisiae or (b) a three species mixture of NSY; after 3 days, S. cerevisiae was added. Addition of NSY with added pectin resulted in higher concentrations of d-galacturonic acid and glycerol concentration in the wines after 6 months of aging. However, mouthfeel (viscosity or weight) of wines with or without added pectin as determined by a sensory evaluation panel was not altered by the presence of these yeasts. Significant interactions among the yeast utilized, pectin addition, and 6-month aging affected some flavors (solvent) of Merlot, while addition of NSY increased other attributes (cherry) during aging. No sensory differences were perceived among Chardonnay samples due to NSY; however, aging from 6 to 18 months increased the intensity of 40 sensory attributes. Though mouthfeel was not specifically affected, the utilization of NSY may be a useful tool to alter wine quality in Merlot by increasing specific aromas during storage. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: We found that must fermented with pectinase-producing non-Saccharomyces yeasts (NSY) modified the chemical composition of the final young wine. After one additional year of aging, an increase in cherry flavor was observed in Merlot wines made with NSY, which may increase perceived quality. Thus, the use of these pectinase-producing NSY may be a useful tool for winemakers.

Abstract
Thirty-two commercial red wines of Cabernet Sauvignon produced in five continuous vintages (2015–2019) and collected from four production regions were statistically different for the analyzed condensed tannin profiles. Cabernet Sauvignon wines from four regions were rich in the (–)-epicatechin as the extension subunit. Condensed tannin profiles could be used to distinguish some of the production region, but the different vintage samples were not well differentiated. A negative correlation of ageing periods and condensed tannin concentration of Cabernet Sauvignon wines was observed.
This study sought to determine the effects of wine-producing regions and aging periods on the astringency and chemistry of condensed tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wines. A wine quality study was performed with 5 vintages of 32 Cabernet Sauvignon wines produced in four Chinese wine-producing regions, Hebei (H), Xinjiang (X), Inner Mongolia (NM), and Ningxia (NX). Condensed tannin profiles were assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). The (–)-epicatechin as the terminal subunit (tEC) is the major differential component between regions. Correlation analysis revealed that condensed tannin concentration and composition significantly affected the sensory evaluation of astringency. Condensed tannin concentrations were significantly and negatively correlated with wine aging periods. However, no significant correlation was found between aging periods and condensed tannin subunits (as mole%) composition. The current findings enhance the understanding of condensed tannins' chemical and astringency characteristics in Cabernet Sauvignon wines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bitter flavors and antioxidant activities are critical characteristics and indicators, respectively, of beer quality. To gain a better understanding of dry-hopped beer's bitterness, this work comprehensively evaluated the perceived bitterness intensity and bitterness attributes from aspects of beer aroma and non-volatile bitter compounds using sensory analysis under two conditions: (i) with and (ii) without nose clips. To quantify bitter and volatile compounds, the work conducted chromatographic analyses: high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Simultaneously, this work assessed the antioxidant activity of commercially dry-hopped beers. RESULTS First, dry-hopped beer in this study contained abundant non-volatile bitter compounds (hop bitter acids, polyphenols and flavonoids), and aroma was validated using HPLC, UPLC-MS and GC-MS methods. Moreover, the bitter-tasting perception test findings demonstrated that many dry-hopped beers had a higher bitterness intensity when evaluated without a nose clip, whereas this phenomenon was adverse in several ale beers. Additionally, the 'lingering' and 'harsh' characteristics were diminished when beer aroma was blocked out (with nose clip) for dry-hopped beer. Meanwhile, most dry-hopped beers had greater antioxidant activity than ale beers (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This work revealed the bitterness complexity of dry-hopped beer; besides non-volatile bitter compounds, beer aroma had an impact on the perceived bitterness intensity and attributes, and dry-hopped beer had a relatively intense antioxidant capacity. This study facilitated the development of a detailed knowledge about the assessment of bitter-tasting perceptions in dry-hopped beers and provided a basis for the development of functional beer benefiting human health. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Red wines are characterized by their astringency, a very important sensory attribute that affects the perceived quality of wines. Three mechanisms have been proposed to explain astringency, and two theories describe how these mechanisms work in an integrated manner to produce tactile sensations such as drying, roughening, shrinking and puckering. The factors involved include not only tannins and salivary proteins, but also anthocyanins, grape polysaccharides and mannoproteins, as well as other wine matrix components that modulate their interactions. These multifactorial interactions could be responsible for different sensory responses and therefore need to be further studied. This review presents the latest advances in astringency perception and its possible origins, with special attention on the interactions of components, their impact on oral perception and the development of astringency sub-qualities. Future research efforts should concentrate on understanding the mechanisms involved as well as on the limiting factors related to the conformation and stability of the tannin-salivary protein complexes. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This research aims at predicting sensory properties generated by the phenolic fraction (PF) of grapes from chemical composition. Thirty-one grape extracts of different grape lots were obtained by maceration of grapes in hydroalcoholic solution; afterward they were submitted to solid phase extraction. The recovered PFs were reconstituted in a wine model. Subsequently the wine models, containing the PFs, were sensory (taste, mouthfeel) and chemically characterized. Significant sensory differences among the 31 PFs were identified. Sensory variables were predicted from chemical parameters by PLS-regression. Tannin activity and concentration along with mean degree of polymerization were found to be good predictors of dryness, while the concentration of large polymeric pigments seems to be involved in the "sticky" percept and flavonols in the "bitter" taste. Four fully validated PLS-models predicting sensory properties from chemical variables were obtained. Two out of the three sensory dimensions could be satisfactorily modeled. These results increase knowledge about grape properties and proposes the measurement of chemical variables to infer grape quality.

Abstract
The present work was aimed at understanding the sensory responses induced by dry white wine modified with increasing concentrations of different sensory active molecules. The tasting panel was composed by 34 trained subjects characterized according to gender, smoking habits, 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) taster status, and sensitivity to tartaric acid, tannic acid and sucrose. Additional taste/mouthfeel responsiveness was evaluated in a basal white wine added of tartaric acid, tannic acid and sucrose. The addition of a fruity odorant mixture to the base white wine enabled the assessment of orthonasal aroma and taste intensities (sweetness, sourness, saltiness). The diversity of taste/mouthfeel responsiveness in water or wine enabled to group individuals as high or low sensitives. Likewise, the tasting panel showed two groups responding differently to aroma and flavor. Both high and low aroma sensitivity individuals showed equal (p>0.05) and congruent response to in-mouth sweet flavor perception. Moreover, the high smell sensitive group was less sensitive to sourness and saltiness than the low smell sensitives for the spiked wines across all flavor concentrations. Differences in PROP taster status and sensitivity to other tastants in water solutions were not correlated with the taste/mouthfeel perceptions in wine. The individuals most sensitive to sucrose in wine taste showed higher response to the fruity aroma. In conclusion, taste, mouthfeel and flavor perceptions showed a high variability among individuals evidencing the advantage of grouping tasters with different chemosensory sensitivities to understand cross-modal sensory interactions.

Abstract
We investigated perception of mouthfeel in Pinot noir wines and its physicochemical determinants. Seventeen wine professionals judged 18 Pinot noir wines via two tasting tasks, Descriptive Rating and Directed Sorting, the latter based on perception of in-mouth attributes. Selected chemical measures of the same 18 wines were determined. Sensory results demonstrated that mouthfeel attributes driving high quality were smoothness/silky/velvety, volume/fullness/roundness, overall body, and viscosity/mouth-coating, while the taste of bitterness and perceived tannin harshness drove low quality judgments. Perceived astringency and expressions of tannin (e.g., soft; harsh; fine) drove sorting behaviour of participants. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) was used to associate perceived in-mouth phenomena and chemical composition. The phenolic profile, in particular tannin concentration and structure, was the most important predictor of astringency and its sub-components. These results have important implications for wine producers aiming to enhance perceived quality in their Pinot noir wines.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds are partially removed during fining, which may influence the organoleptic properties of beverages. Among phenolic compounds, tannins have been widely associated to the taste of beverages (namely astringency and bitterness). Furthermore, phenolic acids and anthocyanins may also influence bitterness and the latter are also responsible for beverages' color. Thus, it is necessary to perform molecular studies to better understand the effect of fining agents in the overall phenolic composition of beverages and the resulting organoleptic changes. The molecular interactions between these three classes of phenolic compounds and a yeast protein extract (YPE), designed as a new fining agent, was studied. The binding affinities were assessed by fluorescence quenching at two temperatures (21 °C and 37 °C) and in two reaction media (water and wine model solution). The size of aggregates formed was characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering and the selectivity of protein interaction was analyzed by electrophoresis. Overall, pentagalloylglucoside (tannin) showed the highest binding affinity for YPE, followed by malvidin 3-glucoside (anthocyanin), p-coumaric acid (phenolic acid) and gallic acid (phenolic acid). The studied temperatures and solvents affected the interaction affinities as well as the aggregates' size. Binding selectivity of proteins from YPE was not found. These results open new perspectives to control the fining process by using the YPE as a fining agent taking into account the further effect in the organoleptic properties of beverages.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the impact of two soil managements and training systems on yield and wine aroma compounds of Negroamaro variety grown in a warm climate region (southern Italy). Cover crop (CC) and soil tillage (ST) as soil management, whilst bilateral Guyot (BG) and monolateral Guyot (MG) as training systems were compared. Free and bound volatile fractions were evaluated by GC-MS. ST and CC as well as BG and MG significantly affected yield parameters. In particular, yield was higher in ST and BG than in CC and MG, respectively; moreover, it was found to be positively influenced by interaction between BG and ST. Regarding aroma compounds, significant interactions between soil management and training system factors were observed. In case of free volatiles, the most positive interaction was found between BG and ST, whereas, for bound volatiles, the best interaction was represented by MG with both soil tillage and cover crop. Vine leaf area and development over vine growth stages along with water stress levels played an important role in determining the aroma profile as well as yield parameters. In conclusion, the training system significantly interacted with soil management and affected most of important aroma compounds in Negroamaro wine.

Abstract
The concept of wine typicity has been an important tool for the international wine trade, and especially for Old World wine producing countries, where provenance criteria are regulated and act as a quality indicator. Provenance in Australia is governed by Geographical Indications, for which typicity should also be evident in terms of regional sensory profiles of wine from a given grape cultivar. Two approaches were used to identify sensory drivers for regional typicity of commercial Cabernet Sauvignon wines from three Australian regions, namely Coonawarra, Margaret River, and Yarra Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines from Bordeaux were also assessed for benchmarking purposes. A set of 84 wines underwent a sorting task and rate-all-that-apply (RATA) analysis of the sorted groups with an expert panel. Agglomerative hierarchical clustering of the sorting task data did not show a clear regional driver upon separating the samples into four main clusters, although certain sensory traits could be associated with the different clusters. On the other hand, canonical variate analysis (CVA) of the group-RATA results indicated several sensory drivers for the separation between the regions, such as 'mint' and 'dark fruits' being important for Coonawarra wine profiles, 'floral' and 'green pepper' for Margaret River, 'stemmy' for Yarra Valley, and 'barnyard' and 'savoury' differentiating Bordeaux wines from the other regions. A subset (n = 52) of wines was selected for further evaluation by descriptive analysis with a trained panel. Statistical evaluation with CVA revealed similar results to the expert evaluation, with Bordeaux wines showing more dissimilarity when compared to Australian regions, and having 'savoury' and 'earthy' as significant characters. The results also demonstrated that 'mint' and 'Mallee leaf' were relevant characters for Coonawarra regional sensory profile, 'violets' and 'red fruits' for Margaret River, and 'cooked vegetables' for Yarra Valley. Analysing both data sets (expert RATA and DA) revealed some agreement between the sets of results for attributes such as 'mint', 'cooked vegetables', 'floral', green-related characters, and oak characters like 'vanilla' and 'chocolate'. Overall, experts and trained panellists were able to distinguish regions based on a few characteristic sensory traits.

Exploring Olfactory-Oral Cross-Modal Interactions through Sensory and Chemical Characteristics of Italian Red Wines. Foods 2020; 9:foods9111530.

Abstract
This work aimed at investigating red wine olfactory–oral cross-modal interactions, and at testing their impact on the correlations between sensory and chemical variables. Seventy-four Italian red whole wines (WWs) from 10 varieties, and corresponding deodorized wines (DWs), were evaluated by sensory descriptive assessment. Total phenols, proanthocyanidins, ethanol, reducing sugars, pH, titratable and volatile acidity were determined. PCA results highlighted different sensory features of the 10 wine types. ANOVAs (p < 0.05) showed that olfactory cues might play modulation effects on the perception of in-mouth sensations with 7 (harsh, unripe, dynamic, complex, surface smoothness, sweet, and bitter) out of 10 oral descriptors significantly affected by odours. Three weak but significant positive correlations (Pearson, p < 0.0001) were statistically found and supported in a cognitive dimension: spicy and complex; dehydrated fruits and drying; vegetal and unripe. In the absence of volatiles, correlation coefficients between sensory and chemical parameters mostly increased. Proanthocyanidins correlated well with drying and dynamic astringency, showing highest coefficients (r > 0.7) in absence of olfactory–oral interactions. Unripe astringency did not correlate with polyphenols supporting the idea that this sub-quality is a multisensory feeling greatly impacted by odorants. Results support the significance of cross-modal interactions during red wine tasting, confirming previous findings and adding new insights on astringency sub-qualities and their predictive parameters.

Abstract
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is known for its refreshing quality, though its sensory attributes have never been related to its perceived refreshment. Modified quantitative descriptive analysis by a trained panel was used to examine the sensory profile of seven watermelon varieties. Eleven attributes including perceived refreshing intensity were measured on a 0-10 line scale using chemical references. Watermelon samples were evaluated with and without nose clips to control orthonasal and retronasal aroma and temperature was included as a variable to observe their effects on perceived refreshment. The dominant watermelon attributes were wateriness, refreshing, crispness, sweet, mealiness, fresh, ripe, and melon. The varieties were best differentiated by refreshing (p < 0.001), crispness (p = 0.002), sweet (p < 0.001), mealiness (p = 0.016), green (p = 0.007), and sour perception (p < 0.001). Captivation and Excursion were the most refreshing varieties. Captivation, Excursion, and Seedless varieties were less refreshing when flavor perception was inhibited; ratings ranged from 6.8 to 7.2 without nose clips and 5.9-6.0 with nose clips (p = 0.002). Refreshing was most positively driven by wateriness, followed by crispness, fresh, melon, and sweet, and negatively driven by mealiness, as indicated by partial least square regression. Samples served cold were more refreshing (ratings of 7.1 without and 6.0 with nose clips) than those served at room temperature (ratings of 4.9 without and 3.5 with nose clips), p < 0.001. This study defined the sensory profile of seven watermelon varieties and showed that flavor, texture, and temperature were responsible for the refreshing perception of watermelon for the first time.

Food Res Int 2020; 136:109340. [PMID: 32846535 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2020.109340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2020] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Tannins and anthocyanins are important modulators of the intrinsic quality of red wines, playing a major role in consumer preference and appreciation. Tannins are chiefly responsible for the astringency in wines although their role in eliciting different astringent subqualities is still relatively unknown. On the other hand, the sensory contribution of anthocyanic fractions is even less clear. The main aim of the present study was to assess whether anthocyanic fractions from red wine elicit specific mouthfeel and taste attributes that differ from their tannin counterparts, and to evaluate the contribution of anthocyanic and tannic fractions to taste and mouthfeel of red wines. Isolation of tannin (Ftannin) and anthocyanin (Fantho) fractions from 20 wines involved reversed-phase semipreparative liquid chromatography followed by solid phase extraction. The 40 derived fractions subsequently underwent sensory characterisation using a labelled sorting task and a rate-K attributes method. Bitterness and dryness were the salient attributes differing among the sensory spaces of both Fantho and Ftannin. Likewise, other independent and non-correlated mouthfeel dimensions differed for both Fantho ("grainy" and mouthcoating") and Ftannin ("gummy"). A significant linear model predicting wine dryness from the "dry" intensity of Fantho and Ftannin was obtained, with tannic fractions presenting a higher contribution than anthocyanic fractions. These results not only confirmed that tannins have a major implication in red wine dryness but also unequivocally demonstrated a relevant implication of certain anthocyanins in this attribute. In contrast, bitterness of the original wines could not be directly related to the bitterness perceived in any of the two groups of fractions. The addition of an extremely bitter anthocyanic fraction to wines only increased bitterness in certain wines, suggesting that bitterness in wines may result from perceptual interactions and that some wines contain strong bitterness suppressors.
