Wine Chemistry and Biochemistry
The aim of this book is to describe chemical and biochemical aspects of winemaking that are currently being researched. The authors have selected the very best experts for each of the areas. The first part of the book summarizes the most important aspects of winemaking technology and microbiology. The second most extensive part deals with the different groups of compounds, how these are modified during the various steps of the production process, and how they affect the wine quality, sensorial aspects, and physiological activity, etc. The third section describes undesirable alterations of wines, including those affecting quality and food safety. Finally, the treatment of data will be considered, an aspect which has not yet been tackled in any other book on enology. In this chapter, the authors not only explain the tools available for analytical data processing, but also indicate the most appropriate treatment to apply, depending on the information required, illustrating with examples throughout the chapter from enological literature.
Latin American Philosophy
"The essays in this book make it elegantly clear that there is a vigorous and rigorous Latin American philosophy . . . and that others dismiss it at their peril." —Mario Sáenz The ten essays in this lively anthology move beyond a purely historical consideration of Latin American philosophy to cover recent developments in political and social philosophy as well as innovations in the reception of key philosophical figures from the European Continental tradition. Topics such as indigenous philosophy, multiculturalism, the philosophy of race, democracy, postmodernity, the role of women, and the position of Latin America and Latin Americans in a global age are explored by notable philosophers from the region. An introduction by Eduardo Mendieta examines recent trends and points to the social, political, economic, and cultural conditions that have inspired the discipline. Latin American Philosophy brings English-speaking readers up to date with recent scholarship and points to promising new directions.
Flavour Science
The analytical signals obtained by SPME are extremely sensitive to experimental parameters affecting liquid-gas and gas-solid distribution coefficients, such as alcoholic degree, non-volatile composition or wine content in major fermentation volatiles. In order to measure the weight of these factors and to design a robust calibration, synthetic but real-like wines containing selected analytes, a cocktail with 13 different internal standards and variable amounts of ethanol, non-volatile constituents, and major volatile compounds were prepared. Data revealed that the wine content in major volatile constituents affected the extraction of most analytes, while ethanol level and matrix composition specifically affected the least volatile components. In 29 out of 65 cases, a single internal standard provided a robust calibration, while in 30 other cases a mathematical combination of the 13 internal standards obtained by PLSR provided maxima accuracy.
Flavour Science
The ability of Gas Chromatography with Olfactometric detection (GC-O) to provide a screening method to detect the presence of some wine off-flavors has been evaluated. A panel of 12 trained sniffers assessed the presence of 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP), 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA), 4-ethylphenol (4EF), and 4-ethylguaiacol (4EG) in wine spiked at six levels of concentration. The screening method proposed allowed us to obtain a reliable positive response when the concentration was above 4ng/L for IBMP, 0.25ng/L for TCA, and 10μg/L for 4EG, all of them below their odor threshold in wine.
Flavour Science
The flavor of a food is often the most desirable quality characteristic for the consumer, yet the understanding of flavour is a fascinatingly complicated subject, which calls for interdisciplinary research efforts. This latest volume presents the proceedings of the 11th Weurman Flavour Research Symposium and describes the most recent and original research advances related to the flavour of foods and beverages with contributions of experts from 25 countries world-wide. * Efficiently summarises the current front line research within food flavor * Highlights the modern approaches to flavor production using biotechnology, enzymes and gene-technology * The dynamic effects of manipulation of food in the mouth during consumption influencing the release of flavour compounds is discussed in detail
Flavour Science
The aim of this work was to compare the chemical composition of the aroma of three different price categories of Spanish red wines. To achieve this, 116 odorants were quantified in 96 wines. The group of wines with the highest price (25–15€/bottle) presented the highest levels of compounds related to aging: oak aging related compounds, Brett character related odorants, volatile sulfur compounds, and oxidation related aldehydes. On the other hand, low priced wines (
