Effect of ethanol level in the perception of aroma attributes and the detection of volatile compounds in red wine

The sensory profile of 23 monovarietal Malbec wines were evaluated and related to the headspace composition of aroma at two alcohol levels (I0.0-I2.0 to 14.5-17.2% v/v). Twelve attributes were selected by quantitative descriptive analysis. At P < 0.01, two attributes showed lower aromatic intensi...

Sumario:The sensory profile of 23 monovarietal Malbec wines were evaluated and related to the headspace composition of aroma at two alcohol levels (I0.0-I2.0 to 14.5-17.2% v/v). Twelve attributes were selected by quantitative descriptive analysis. At P < 0.01, two attributes showed lower aromatic intensity when alcohol level increased, and at P < 0.05, three attributes showed lower intensity; only one attribute showed higher intensity (P < 0.05). Seventeen aroma compounds were identified using solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography. Only one identified aroma compound showed lower contribution when alcohol level increased (P < 0.01); another aroma was added at P < 0.05. Only one aroma showed higher contribution (P < 0.05). Ethanol influenced the relative contribution of aroma compounds in different way - some declined while others increased. The sensorial aroma perception was also changed; when ethanol was at I4.5-I7.2%, the odor was described as herbaceous instead of fruity, as was perceived at low ethanol levels. © 2009, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
