Abstract
The main objective of the present study was to evaluate terroir's role in white and red wine characteristics through human perceptions and electronic assessment. Douro wines, originating from the Douro Demarcated Region (DDR) in the North of Portugal, are renowned for their distinct terroir and historical significance. This study investigates twenty-one Douro wine samples (ten white, eleven red) from Baixo Corgo and Douro Superior through Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Electronic Nose (E-nose) analysis, and Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA). The research has uncovered unique profiles for each sub-region, influenced by factors such as pH, alcohol content, and acidity. Through principal component analysis, the electronic nose analysis identifies separate clusters in red wines and highlights notable aromatic differences in white wines. The sensory analysis via quantitative descriptive analysis provides detailed wine profiles, emphasizing attributes such as persistence, sweetness, and acidity. Furthermore, emotional responses during wine tasting were assessed using FaceReader analysis, which revealed a range of emotions like happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, and disgust, with different intensities over time. These findings provide valuable insights for consumers, producers, and the enogastronomic industry.
期刊介绍:
The journal European Food Research and Technology publishes state-of-the-art research papers and review articles on fundamental and applied food research. The journal''s mission is the fast publication of high quality papers on front-line research, newest techniques and on developing trends in the following sections:
-chemistry and biochemistry-
technology and molecular biotechnology-
nutritional chemistry and toxicology-
analytical and sensory methodologies-
food physics.
Out of the scope of the journal are:
- contributions which are not of international interest or do not have a substantial impact on food sciences,
- submissions which comprise merely data collections, based on the use of routine analytical or bacteriological methods,
- contributions reporting biological or functional effects without profound chemical and/or physical structure characterization of the compound(s) under research.
