Many varietal aromas of wine are located in the berry skin. In present study, we evaluated four important Austrian grape varieties: Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer, and Pinot Blanc. We assessed whether prefermentation skin contact, fermentation with (only for Veltliner), stabulation (lees stirring; only Blanc) could enhance different cultivars. The aim was to intensify without extracting undesirable phenols. performed a detailed analytical characterisation approximately 100...
This study analyzed the phenolic compounds, organic acids, sugars, and antioxidant activity in different conventional apple cultivars (Malus domestica) from Serbian market. Polyphenol profiles, acid contents were by HPLC, was examined DPPH FRAP. Notable findings included variations compound presence, with certain compounds detected only specific cultivars. ‘Red Jonaprince’ exhibited highest arbutin (0.86 mg/kg FW) quercetin-3-rhamnoside content (22.90 FW), while ‘Idared’ stood out for its...
Current experiments with farm animals showed that it is possible to use grape by-products as a source of nutrients in animal nutrition. In the present experiment, we hypothesize one reason for variation among feeding trials, besides production steps affecting byproduct quality winery, cultivars may have substantial contribution. The main aim this study was analyse pomace and stems from area Slovak Republic Austria evaluate their nutritional value animals. total, 54 samples 3 varieties 6...
This study aimed to improve the understanding of 2-aminoacetophenone (2-AAP) formation in white wines, a compound responsible for atypical ageing (ATA) associated with rapid loss wine fruity aroma and development unpleasant odors. Two surveys performed 139 wines from Central Europe investigated varietal effect on tendency form 2-AAP during ageing. The role some antioxidants important transition metal ions present (Fe, Cu Mn) was also investigated. highlighted that Muscat Riesling showed...

The aim this study was prove influence autologous platelet gel (APG) on wound special group high-risk patients undergoing coronary surgery.We performed prospective, double-blind 44 with constellation relating complications (obesity, diabetes, smoker, New York Heart Association (NYHA) III-IV and peripheral vascular disease). treated APG, prepared using Magellan separator, control...
The perceived pear aroma in wines was associated with various short- and medium-chain ester compounds. A consumer study confirmed this assumption. In total, eight compounds from a series of 100 aromatic substances were the aroma. study, valid stable isotope dilution assay headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (SIDA-HS-SPME-GC-MS) method developed for analysis these compounds, 102 Austrian Pinot blanc vintages 2013–2016 analysed. They assessed regard to...
Anecdotal evidence suggests that spontaneous alcoholic fermentation of grape juice is becoming a more popular option in global wine production. Wines produced from the same by inoculation or usually present distinct chemical and sensorial profiles. Inoculation has been associated with similar end-products, loss typicity, lower aroma complexity, it suggested this may be linked to suppression local regional microbial ecosystems responsible for fermentations. However, whether inoculated...
Austria is the third largest Pinot blanc producing country in world.Pinot cultivated on 1916,5 ha of vineyards, which corresponds to 4.3% Austrian wine-growing area and 12.3% world production (15,493 ha).Only Germany (4794 ha; 30.9%) Italy (3086 19.9%) more cultivated.The bouquet dry Blanc usually discreet, with a predominance pear apple flavors, these often coming together walnut aroma hint flower (acacia flowers) herbs.The taste delicate full-bodied; it shows fruity sweetness slight...
