Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28062522. [PMID: 36985492 PMCID: PMC10053927 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28062522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Beer is one of the most consumed beverages worldwide with unique organoleptic properties. Bitterness and astringency are well-known key features and, when perceived with high intensity, could lead to beer rejection. Most studies on beer astringency and bitterness use sensory assays and fail to study the molecular events that occur inside the oral cavity responsible for those perceptions. This work focused on deepening this knowledge based on the interaction of salivary proteins (SP) and beer phenolic compounds (PCs) and their effect toward these two sensory attributes. The astringency and bitterness of four different beers were assessed by a sensory panel and were coupled to the study of the SP changes and PC profile characterization of beers. The human SP content was measured before (basal) and after each beer intake using HPLC analysis. The beers’ PC content and profile were determined using Folin–Ciocalteu and LC-MS spectrometry, respectively. The results revealed a positive correlation between PCs and astringency and bitterness and a negative correlation between SP changes and these taste modalities. Overall, the results revealed that beers with higher PC content (AAL and IPA) are more astringent and bitter than beers with a lower PC content (HL and SBO). The correlation results suggested that an increase in whole SP content, under stimulation, should decrease astringency and bitterness perception. No correlation was found between the changes in specific families of SP and astringency and bitterness perception.

Comparative phenolic, chromatic, and sensory composition of five monovarietal wines processed with microwave technology. Heliyon 2022; 8:e12332. [PMID: 36590570 PMCID: PMC9794902 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e12332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The effect of MW technology (1,200 Watts for 10 min) on the chemical and sensory composition of five monovarietal wines with different phenolic composition was studied relative to untreated Control wines. MW improved polymeric pigment content by 30, 22 and 31% in Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Syrah wines, respectively, and anthocyanin extraction and non-tannin phenolics by 24% in Malbec and Syrah wines, respectively. In Nebbiolo and Pinot noir, MW had no effect on phenolics or chromatic characteristics. Anthocyanins in Nebbiolo wines were the lowest and their pigment profile was composed of 18% pyranoanthocyanins, but tannins were the highest, resulting in a tannin to anthocyanin ratio of 16. Pinot noir and Nebbiolo wines had comparable polymeric pigment content, despite dissimilar tannin to anthocyanin ratios, suggesting different mouthfeel characteristics in their respective wines. Conversely, wines of comparable tannin to anthocyanin produced wines of vastly different polymeric pigment content. MW-treated Cabernet Sauvignon wines showed an improved sensory profile.

The Impact of Storage Conditions and Bottle Orientation on the Evolution of Phenolic and Volatile Compounds of Vintage Port Wine. Foods 2022; 11:foods11182770. [PMID: 36140897 PMCID: PMC9498223 DOI: 10.3390/foods11182770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This work evaluates the influence of the cellar conditions and bottle orientation, on the phenolic and volatile composition of a Vintage Port wine, sealed with natural cork stoppers, for 44 months post-bottling. The storage was performed in two different cellars, namely a cellar A with controlled temperature and humidity, and a cellar B, representing a traditional cellar, with uncontrolled temperature and humidity. The impact of bottle orientation was studied in cellar A, where the bottles were stored in horizontal and vertical positions. The phenolic and volatile composition of the bottled Vintage Port wine were analyzed after 6, 15 and 44 months. The results unveiled that the cellar conditions and bottle orientation had an impact in Port wine composition which was higher at 44 months post-bottling. The samples stored in the traditional cellar unveiled significantly higher yellow tones, lower tannin specific activity, and higher levels of furfural and 5-methylfurfural. Furthermore, the samples stored in the horizontal position revealed significant higher levels of total proanthocyanidins and higher tannin specific activity than the samples stored in the vertical position. Interestingly, for the first time to our knowledge, an ellagitannin-derived compound (Corklin) was detected in Vintage Port wines stored in the horizontal position, which results from the reaction of cork constituents with phenolic compounds present in wines.

Abstract
This review presents the most recent data on the state-of-the-art of the main compounds present in cork, their interaction with wine, and the impact that natural stoppers may have on wines’ physical-chemical and sensory properties. According to the recent scientific literature, the chemical composition of cork and the scientific relevance of the compounds extract from cork to wine over time are reviewed. Furthermore, the effect of cork compounds transfer into wines during post-bottling is also discussed, as well as their impact on the organoleptic (colour and taste) of wines. This knowledge is essential for the decision-making process undertaken by wine producers to select the stopper most suitable for their wines. In addition, sustainability is also a topic addressed since it is a natural product that generates some waste as well as the way in which this industry is adapting to the closure of the waste cycle.

Abstract
This work reports the study of the interaction of human salivary proteins (SP) with phenolic compounds that migrate from cork stoppers to wine. This study yields valuable data to understand the influence that these compounds may have on the sensory perception of wine from an astringency perspective. For that, three cork fractions containing the phenolic compounds that migrate in greater amounts from cork to model wine solutions were selected. Fraction M1 contains gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, vanillin and protocatechuic aldehyde; fraction M2 comprises essentially gallic acid and ellagic acid, as well as castalagin and dehydrocastalagin; and fraction M3 contains the two isomeric ellagitannins castalagin and vescalagin. The reactivity of each fraction towards SP was M3 > M2 > M1. Within M3 fraction, castalagin showed a higher ability to precipitate SP (mainly aPRPs, statherin and P-B peptide) comparatively to vescalagin. In M1 fraction, caffeic and sinapic acids were the compounds with the highest interaction with SP, mainly cystatins. In addition, there also seems to be a matrix effect (presence of other compounds) that could be affecting these interactions.
