| dc.description.abstractEn | The chemical complexity of the aroma compounds developed by oak wood during the toasting process is known to contribute to the quality of wines and spirits after barrel ageing. Molecular characterisation of toasted oak wood has increased steadily in recent years, using the traditional olfactory-guided approach by gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry and mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS); however, few studies have focused on its sensory characterisation. In this study, a sensory characterisation of oak wood (Quercus petraea) was first carried out during toasting in order to identify any descriptors that had not yet been characterised from a molecular point of view. Thus, in the second part of this work, we were able to identify volatile compounds associated with the aroma of toasted oak wood. Based on previous work in oenology, the sensory characterisation of oak wood was carried out in three stages: identification, structuring and description of a sensory space. Data processing of the 215 descriptors generated by the panel of experts revealed six descriptors specific to the aroma of oak wood throughout its toasting (i.e., fresh wood, fresh green, sweet, roasted, spicy and smoky). The results were represented graphically in the form of an aroma wheel, which was used to highlight the descriptors that had not yet been characterised from a molecular point of view. Thus, two volatile compounds were identified: thymoquinone (pencil and cedar odour) and verbenone (fresh, menthol and tealeaf odour). Their evolution in oak wood during toasting and their distribution in different wood species used in oenology (sessile oak, pedunculate oak, American oak, Caucasian oak, acacia and chestnut) were studied. Their sensory impact was studied by assessing their olfactory detection threshold in a model wine solution. The thresholds were evaluated at 49 ng/L for thymoquinone and 193 µg/L for verbenone. © 2024, International Viticulture and Enology Society. All rights reserved. | |
