Impact of Whisky Lactone Diastereoisomers on Red Wine Fruity Aromatic Expression in Model Solution.
2020
The impact of whisky lactone diastereoisomers on the typical fruity expression of red Bordeaux wines was evaluated by sensory analysis. The detection thresholds of cis- and trans-whisky lactone in a dilute alcohol solution (12% v/v) were 20 and 130 μg/L, respectively. Consequently, considering their average concentrations found in oak-aged red wines, cis-whisky lactone was present at supra threshold levels, whereas trans-whisky lactone was below its detection threshold. Adding these diastereoisomers to a red wine fruity aromatic reconstitution at these average concentrations led to a decrease in the perception of this last one, highlighting a masking effect. Sensory profiles of cis- and trans-whisky lactone confirmed that these compounds modified the perception of fruity aromas, decreasing the intensity of red berry fruit notes and increasing that of blackberry fruit and spicy descriptors.
