- Changes of the physicochemical characteristics of aged wine spirits during the storage in bottlePublication . Lourenço, Sílvia; Soares, Amélia; Mota, Deolinda; Anjos, O.; Caldeira, Ilda; Alves, Sheila Oliveira; Canas, SaraThe wine spirit (WS) is a specific beverage obtained by the distillation of wine. Initially, the wine distillate is essentially made up of ethanol and water, and its physicochemical characteristics mainly result from the wine and distillation system used. During the ageing process, the distillate contacts with the wood and, with the mediation of oxygen, organic compounds are extracted from the wood and undergo several reactions over time, thus altering the sensory and physicochemical characteristics of this spirit beverage. Traditionally, ageing is carried out in barrels, which is an expensive and time-consuming technology.1 To overcome these drawbacks, alternative technologies for a sustainable ageing of WS using wood staves combined with micro-oxygenation (MOX) has been studied by our team.
- Single-laboratory validation of determination of acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, methanol and fusel alcohols in wine, spirits, brandies and grape marc spirits using GC-FIDPublication . Luís, Ana das Neves; Mota, Deolinda; Anjos, O.; Caldeira, IldaThis work presents the determination of principal volatile compounds (acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, methanol, 2-butanol, 1-propanol, 2-methyl- 1-propanol, 2-propen-1-ol, 1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol) in wine spirits, brandies and grape marc spirits by GC-FID. The method was evaluated in terms of suitability of chromatographic system, accuracy, precision, linearity and detection and quantifi cation limits. The method showed good accuracy for the majority of the compounds and it presented linearity and precision for all compounds. Based on these results the method seems suitable for quality control of marc spirits and wine spirits.
- Teores de metanol em aguardentes vínicas e bagaceiras portuguesasPublication . Mota, Deolinda; Luís, Ana das Neves; Cerveira, Otília; Anjos, O.; Canas, Sara; Caldeira, IldaO metanol é um álcool resultante da degradação das pectinas que ocorre durante o processo de fermentação do vinho e do bagaço, passando para a aguardente durante o processo de destilação. A tecnologia utilizada na preparação dos vinhos e dos bagaços condiciona o seu teor nos destilados. Por razões de toxicidade, o teor de metanol nas aguardentes é limitado a 1000g/hL de álcool puro nas aguardentes bagaceiras e 200g/hL nas aguardentes vínicas (Reg. CE. 110/2008). Assim, antes da colocação das aguardentes no mercado deve ser avaliado o teor deste álcool, o qual é normalmente quantificado por cromatografia-gáslíquido de alta resolução. Neste trabalho são apresentados os teores de metanol de um número considerável de amostras analisadas no nosso laboratório, em 2007, 2008 e 2009. Os resultados obtidos mostram que nenhuma das amostras de aguardente vínica analisada apresentou um teor superior ao limite legal estabelecido. No caso das aguardentes bagaceiras, apenas quatro das amostras analisadas apresentaram teores acima do limite legal.
