Abstract
ABSTRACT Wine tastes better with age because of a complex chemical reaction among sugars, acids, and phenolic compounds. This study investigates if applying ultrasonic waves to wine would significantly reduce its perceived astringency levels. Ultrasonic (US) waves were applied to samples of a young Cabernet Sauvignon using a 24 kHz ultrasonic processor and sonotrode probe by varying time,, and amplitude at three levels. To objectively assess the relationship between the US waves and astringency, physical and chemical analysis was carried out that confirmed the underlying assumptions. While the pH of the treated samples decreased slightly, there was no change in color (Hunter CIE Color L*a*b*). Total Phenolic Content (TPC), Total Anthocyanin Content (TAC), and Tannin Concentration (TC) were significantly different (p ≤ .05) among all samples, indicating the impact of sonication on astringency causing components. Additionally, Fourier Transform Near Infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy confirmed that there were notable changes in the spectra, attributed to tannins, of wine after the application of sonication in comparison to untreated wine samples. The perception of astringent flavor was evaluated by (i) expert wine tasters and (ii) untrained panelists (n = 60) who were able to clearly distinguish between treated and untreated samples (p ≤ .05) and preferred sonicated samples (180 sec, 100% amplitude) over the control samples, supporting the hypothesis that sonication reduces the astringency of red wine.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Culinary Science & Technology aims to communicate the vital issues, latest developments, and thinking on the science and technology behind meal planning, preparation, processing, and service for a global consuming public. These issues relate to food management in a variety of settings that include culinary-related operations, food production, food product development, restaurant management and other foodservice ventures. It is the Journal''s intention to encourage an interchange among culinary professionals, food scientists and technologists, research chefs, foodservice managers, educators and researchers. Contributors are encouraged to identify the practical implications of their work for food operations, promoting and evaluating food knowledge, the science of alcohol, examining changing trends and attitudes, healthy eating lifestyles, innovation management, and enhancing and developing practical culinary skills. It is the Journal of Culinary Science & Technology''s policy to use a ''double-blind review'' procedure for the evaluation of all articles. Therefore, the reviewers and the author(s) are not identified to each other. Scope/Coverage: -Culinary innovation -Blurring lines between food technology and culinary arts -Issues and trends related to human nutrition -The collaboration between food science and culinary innovation -Techniques and technology and their role in quality of life/guest satisfaction associated with culinary, wine and food experiences -Trends in molecular gastronomy and its derivates -Annual review of trends in culinary science and technology -Applied research -Relevant research notes -Management styles, methods and principles -Techniques and innovations
