ABSTRACT
Tannins are widely used in winemaking and food and beverage preparation for the many different contributions they can give to the overall characteristics of the product (e.g., colour stability, mouthfeel and aromatic composition). Varietal thiols and their precursors are one of the most interesting research areas in food science and a lot of effort has been put to further the current understanding on their formation and on the impact of different production strategies on their concentration in the final product. This paper reports the identification of two important thiol precursors (Cys-3MH and GSH-3MH) in commercial grape oenological tannins and, to the best of our knowledge, this information is reported here for the first time. This finding allows potential new perspectives in the winemaking and the food industry, offering the possibility of controlled additions of thiol precursors in pre-fermentative stages in order to tune the aroma profile of fermented products.
