Many variables involved in the fermentation process contribute to cider fragrance, but their relative impact on the finished odor remains ambiguous, because there is little consensus on the most efficient method for cider volatile analysis. Herein, we have optimized and applied a headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME GC-MS) method for the chemical analysis of cider VOCs. We determined that the 30 min exposure of a divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) solid phase microextraction (SPME) fiber at 40 ◦C yielded detection of the widest variety of VOCs at an extraction efficiency >49% higher than comparable fibers. As a proof-of-concept experiment, we utilized this method to profile cider aroma development throughout the fermentation process for the first time. The results yielded a very practical outcome for cider makers: a pre-screening method for determining cider quality through the detection of off-flavors early in the fermentation process. The aroma profile was found to be well established 72 h after fermentation commenced, with major esters varying by 18.6% 4.1% thereafter and higher alcohols varying by just 12.3% 2.6%. ± ± Lastly, we analyzed four mature ciders that were identically prepared, save for the yeast strain. Twenty-seven key VOCs were identified, off-flavors (4-ethylphenol and 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol) were detected, and odorants were quantified at desirable concentrations when compared to perception thresholds. VOCs varied considerably following fermentation with four novel strains of S. cerevisiae, evidencing the central importance of yeast strain to the finished cider aroma.

Introduction Cider is an alcoholic beverage that is produced through the fermentation of fresh or concentrated apple juice. Cider production in early America was extremely popular, but Prohibition brought the industry to a stand-still during the 1920s. Many orchards were razed or abandoned at this time, and apple varieties that were once prized for their cider-specific traits were widely forgotten [1]. Within the past decade, however, cider has experienced a massive revival, recently outpacing competitors as one of the fastest growing alcoholic beverage categories in the U.S. [2]. In Southwest Colorado, farmers have begun to restore historical orchards and incentivize the purchase of cider-specific apple varieties that still grow abundantly in the region through the Montezuma Orchard Restoration Project [3].

Young Ave., University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, Fayetteville, AR 72704, [email protected] Public Abstract Fresh-market blackberries (Rubus subgenus Rubus) have unique aromas and flavors that appeal to consumers. Although the basic tastes (sweetness, sourness, and bitterness) impact the flavor perception of blackberries, volatile aroma compounds (substances which vaporize easily at ambient temperature) are also responsible for typical aromas and flavors. The berry attributes, composition attributes, and volatile aroma attributes of Arkansas fresh-market blackberries were measured. Blackberries were harvested from the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Fruit Research Station, Clarksville, AR in June 2020. Nineteen genotypes were evaluated including nine cultivars (Caddo, Natchez, Osage, Ouachita, Ponca, Prime-Ark® 45, Prime-Ark® Horizon, Prime-Ark® Traveler, and Tupy) and ten breeding selections (A-2526T, A-2528T, A-2547T, A-2587T, A-2610T, A-2620T, A-2625T, A-2658T, A-2701T, and APF- 409T).

Section 1: PCA analysis We provide a step by step example of how we conducted the PCA analysis. Assume we have 8 odors, each located on the vertexes of a 3 dimensional unit cube. Each odor can thus be represented by the exact binary code of the numbers 0 to 7. We can represent these odors in the following binary code matrix: Odor ID Pattern code: 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 3 0 1 0 4 0 1 1 5 1 0 0 6 1 0 1 7 1 1 0 8 1 1 1 1 Haddad Supp pp 2 Using any available mathematical tool (we used Matlab 'princomp' method) we can calculate the principle components scores of this matrix. In this case the values of the PC1 scores are: [1 0 0]. The PC1 projection value of each row is the projection of each row by the PC1 weight vector. For example the PC1 value of the first row is [0,0,0]X[1,0,0] = 0X1 + 0X0 + 0X0 = 0. (this is a vector multiplication). Thus the PC1 value of each row of this matrix is: 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1. Note that usually the PC1 is calculated on a centered matrix (the columns of the matrix have zero mean) and thus the PC1 value might be shifted by some value.

Compositional data were compared to published data on young wines from South Africa and other countries. South African young wines analysed in this study had a largely similar volatile composition to that reported in the literature. Significant between-vintage and between-cultivar differences were observed in the volatile composition of the wines investigated in this study. The concentration ranges of four compounds in red wines, hexanol, propanol, diethyl succinate and ethyl lactate, and four compounds in white wines, 2-phenylethanol, hexanoic acid, isoamyl acetate and propanol, were not influenced by vintage effects. This finding was interpreted as the first indication that typical concentration ranges for some aroma compounds can be established for South African young cultivar wines. A trend was observed in the white wines that the alcohols and their respective acetate esters, as well as fatty acids and their ethyl esters, were responsible for the vintage-related effects.

Babes¸ Street, Cluj Napoca, Romania 3 Research Center for Oenology, Romanian Academy – Ias¸i Branch, Romania Abstract. Most biochemical reactions involved in the wine-making process are catalyzed by enzymes. The use of enzymes of exogenous origin in wine production is due to the numerous technological and economical advantages demonstrated over time in the winemaking process. Understanding the important role played by enzymes in wine making technology contributes to the development of optimization strategies for the production process to improve the final quality of the wine. In order to accomplish this study, the influence of five oenological preparations with pectolytic and β-glucosidases enzymes types on the volatile compounds of white wines obtained from Feteascaregal˘ a˘ variety was analyzed by monitoring their evolution during the alcoholic fermentation to the final product. Wine samples have been physically and chemically analysed (pH, acidity, alcoholic strength, density, malic acid, lactic acid, sugar content, SO2,total dry extract and non-reducing extract) according to OIV Standards. Separation and identification of flavor compounds was performed using an Agilent 7890 gas chromatograph coupled to a 5975 C inert XL EI/CI MSD spectrophotometer.
