Abstract

Aromatic compounds are an important quality parameter of grape and wine, which has gained further importance with consumer demand. The extraction methods and analytical techniques used should be quick, inexpensive, with high reproducibility and sensibility, and require a low volume of sample and automated for the major part. A procedure of solid-phase microextraction (DVB/CAR/PDMS fibre) for few aroma compounds from grape, musts and wines has been developed and the analyses were performed by Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Different hydrolytic approaches were also tested; the most successful were enzymatic hydrolysis (with two different enzymes) and acidic hydrolysis at pH 3.00. Non-hydrolysed terpene glycosides were extracted from the musts using solid-phase extraction . The extract was analysed with Liquid chromatography-Mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and some compounds were tentatively identified as terpene glycosides . The selection of the methods and techniques of aroma determination in grape or wine should be made according to laboratory capacity, equipment, time, number of samples, budget and the group of aroma compounds to evaluate.
