Aromatic characterization of traditional Chinese wine Msalais by partial least-square regression analysis based on sensory quantitative descriptive and odor active values, aroma extract dilution analysis, and aroma recombination and omission tests

摘要

Msalais is produced from local grape juice in southern Xinjiang (China), by concentration and natural fermentation. In the current study, we combined partial least-square regression analysis based on sensory quantitative descriptive and odor active values (OAVs), aroma extract dilution analysis, and aroma recombination and omission tests to delineate the unique aromatic characteristics of traditional Msalais. Msalais has strong dried fruit, fruit jam, and fruity odors, intermediate-strength caramel and baked odors, and weak floral and herbaceous odors, attributed to 24 key aromatic compounds with OAV 1 or flavor dilution 4. Furaneol, methionol, and 5methylfurfural greatly contribute to the dried fruit, fruit jam, and caramel odors, respectively. beta-Phenylethyl alcohol mostly contributes to fruit jam odor. beta -Damascenone has a complicated effect on dried fruit, fruit jam, and floral odors. Fruity esters contribute to fruity odor. Floral odor is attributed to terpenes. These findings allow precise improvement of the variable quality of traditional Msalais.
