(New York University) 2009 DISSERTATION Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Agricultural and Environmental Chemistry in the OFFICE OF GRADUATE STUDIES of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS Approved: _________________________________ Susan E. Ebeler, Chair _________________________________ Hildegarde Heymann _________________________________ Roger B. Boulton Committee in Charge 2014 i Acknowledgements I would be remiss not to acknowledge the many people who have made this work possible, more or less chronologically: My parents, Martha Jurchak and Larry Johnson, for encouraging and pushing my intellectual, scientifc, and creative development from an early age; my brother and sister, Eban and Adriana Johnson; my Grandmother, Marie Jurchak, for planting the seed of bon vivantism and supplying the younger me with plenty of cookbooks to read; to my de-facto in-laws Alice Meadows and Pete, Grace, Jack and Joe Pold for welcoming me into their family. From the early days of what would turn out to be my career, Kent Kirshenbaum, for letting me stand in the back of the room at the frst Experimental Cuisine Collective meeting and giving me the space and support to start developing ideas about how to do scientifc research on culinary questions; and Dave Arnold for taking my half-developed ideas seriously and giving me a lot of challenging questions about smell and chemistry to fgure out. At UC Davis, my advisor, Susan Ebeler, for providing the tools and space to develop as an analytical chemist and learn the hard work of a writing, lecturing scientist, and putting up with my scientifc wanderings; Hildegarde Heymann, for teaching me everything I know about sensory science and experimental design, cultivating my ideas about how science should be dealing with questions of favor, chemistry, and cuisine, and freely ofering profound words of encouragement when I needed them. Carolyn Doyle, for invaluable instrumentation help. My lab and ofce mates, for their support and friendship, Larry Lerno, Helene Hopfer, Ellie King, Maya Hood White and especially Anna Hjelmeland, a stalwart friend both in and outside of work. Roger Boulton, for introducing me to the technology of distilled beverages and being a valuable and enjoyably challenging presence on both my qualifying exam and dissertation committees. Alyson Mitchell and Doug Adams for their presence on my qualifying exam committee and help with academic issues and conference travel. Harold McGee, frst as a role model, then as a QE committee member, and now as a dear friend and colleague. ii Related to the University of Copenhagen, Line Holler Mielby for being an early scientifc role model and encouraging me to go to Denmark, Michael Bom Frøst, for enabling my coming to the Nordic Food Lab and KU, my sensory panel at KU, and Wender Bredie, Belinda Nielsen, and Charlotte Dandanell of the sensory science group.

In-line with the GC column, a pneumatic Deans Switch followed by a cold trap allows the experimenter to build a mixture of these separated volatiles that is held until the cryotrap is rapidly heated, releasing the mixture for a subject to smell at the olfactory port and evaluate. 41 Figure 2.2 Schematic of (a) standard GC-MS; (b) GC-MS with splitter at end of column for olfactometry; and (c) In-instrument Gas chromatograph- Recombination Olfactometer or GRO with Deans switch, splitter, cryogenic trap and olfactory port.

Abbreviations correspond to Experimental Conditions described in Table 1. As chemical complexity and number of components per mixture approaches the makeup of the whole chromatogram (W) mixture, there is evidence of perceptual additivity as increasing cross-utilization of terms from simpler mixtures, masking as reduced use of dominant terms for simpler (P1-P6) mixtures, and synergistic efects as new complex or composite terms like “fresh lavender” become important. 45 Figure 2.4 Correspondence Analysis of (A) lavender volatile mixtures; and (B) lavender volatile mixture descriptors.

    1 Water and Ethanol 1.1 Introduction From a macroscopic perspective, wine is a mildly acidic hydroethanolic solution. As shown in Table 1.1, water and ethanol represent ~97% w/w of dry table wines. Ethanol is the major bioactive compound in wine and its presence renders wine and other alcoholic beverages inhospitable to microbial pathogens. Understanding the physiochemical properties of wine will first require a review of the basic properties of water and water–ethanol mixtures. More thorough discussions of the unique properties of water, including those specific to the food chemistry, can be found elsewhere [1]. 1.2 Chemical and physical properties of water Water is a hydride of oxygen, but has unique properties compared to other hydrides of elements nearby on the periodic table, as shown in Table 1.2. For example, the boiling point of water (100 °C) is far above that of hydrides of adjacent elements on the periodic table: HF (19.5 °C), H2S (–60 °C), and NH3 (–33 °C). Thus, water exists as a liquid at room temperature, while the other hydrides exist as gases. Similarly, water also has a higher heat of vaporization, heat capacity, and freezing point than would be expected as compared to nearby hydrides. The unique properties of water are largely due to its ability to engage in intermolecular hydrogen (H) bond- ing, which results in stronger molecule‐to‐molecule interactions than in related compounds. ●● Oxygen is more electronegativeCOPYRIGHTED than hydrogen and an O–H MATERIALbond is more polarized than N–H or S–H. ●● The geometry and symmetry of an H2O molecule allows for four concurrent H bonds per water molecule.

MIUR subjects: FIS/03, FIS/07, CHIM/01, CHIM/10 PACS: 82.20.Pm, 33.15.Ms, 31.15.Ar Abstract Wine is a complex mixture housing many aroma and flavor compounds giving it a unique texture and bouquet. These volatile organic compounds (VOCs), if present near the sensory threshold limits, may contribute positively to wine quality; however, excessive amounts can detract from quality, and are considered as a fault in wine. It is believed that nearly 10% of the world’s wine is affected from various types of faults. The most common and potent wine taint is 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (2,4,6-TCA), com- monly known as cork-taint molecule resulting from the cork stopper of wine bottles. 2,4,6- TCA produces intense ’musty’, ’mouldy’ ’earthy’ smelling in wine.

    Glossary of Terms Acceptable Daily Intake or Allowed Daily Intake (ADI) → Dose- Response Relationship/Curve Allergen The allergen is a material which triggers an allergic reaction. Allopathy The term allopathy was created by Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755– 1843) (from the Greek prefix άλλος, állos, “other”, “different” and the suffix πάϑος, páthos, “suffering”) in order to distinguish his technique (homeopathy) from the traditional medicine of his age. Today, allopathy means a medicine based on the principles of modern pharmacology. Anaphylactic shock Anaphylaxis (or an anaphylactic shock) is a whole-body, rapidly developing aller- gic reaction, which may lead to lethal respiratory and circulatory failure. Antibody Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to neutralize exogenous (external) substances. Chromatography, chromatogram Chromatography is the common name of different techniques used to separate mix- tures of compounds. HPLC stands for high-performance liquid chromatography. A chromatogram is the pattern of separated substances obtained by chromatography. Colloidal sol A colloidal sol is a suspension of very small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium. Colloidal sols are quite stable and show the Tyndall effect (light scatter- ing by particles in a colloid). They can be quite stable. Examples include blood, pigmented ink, and paint.
