- Synthesis of Deuterium-Labeled 1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) and Quantitative Determination of TDN and Isomeric Vitispiranes in Riesling Wines by a Stable-Isotope-Dilution Assay
-
The C13-norisoprenoid aroma compounds 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) and isomeric 2,10,10-trimethyl-6-methylene-1-oxaspiro[4.5]dec-7-enes, so-called vitispiranes, are considered to be biosynthetically related. They occur at higher concentrations in bottle-aged Riesling wines especially and are important contributors to the varietal aroma of Riesling wines. Because of the variation of the quantitative methods and data reported in the literature, a redetermination of concentration levels for both free and total TDN and isomeric vitispiranes, especially in German Riesling wines, was performed using a stable-isotope-dilution assay (SIDA). For this purpose, a novel six-step synthetic route to TDN and deuterium-labeled TDN was developed. A standardized sample preparation for TDN and vitispiranes and a rapid acid-hydrolysis method at genuine wine-pH conditions for the conversion of the precursors into TDN and vitispiranes were also developed. Automated HS-SPME was applied to 250 wine samples from two wine competitions, and analysis was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring (GC-SIM-MS) as well as selected-reaction monitoring (GC-SRM-MS).

- Effects of sulphur nutrition during potato cultivation on the formation of acrylamide and aroma compounds during cooking
-
Lack of sulphur nutrition during potato cultivation has been shown to have profound effects on tuber composition, affecting in particular the concentrations of free asparagine, other amino acids and sugars. This is important because free asparagine and sugars react at high temperatures to form acrylamide, a suspect carcinogen. Free amino acids and sugars also form a variety of other compounds associated with colour and flavour. In this study the volatile aroma compounds formed in potato flour heated at 180 °C for 20 min were compared for three varieties of potato grown, with and without sulphur fertiliser. Approximately 50 compounds were quantified in the headspace extracts of the heated flour, of which over 40 were affected by sulphur fertilisation and/or variety. Many of the 41 compounds found at higher concentrations in the sulphur-deficient flour were Strecker aldehydes and compounds formed from their condensation, whereas only one compound, benzaldehyde, behaved in the same way as did acrylamide and was found at higher concentrations in the sulphur-sufficient flour. The reasons for these effects are discussed.
