Jq. Granados et al., INFLUENCE OF AGING FACTORS ON THE FURANIC ALDEHYDE CONTENTS OF MATURED BRANDIES - AGING MARKERS, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 44(6), 1996, pp. 1378-1381
Appropriate statistical techniques were used to study the influence of
different aging conditions on the furanic aldehyde contents of a numb
er of brandies. Some of these conditions (presence or absence of caram
el, wood type, state of the barrel, length of maturation) affected the
concentrations of furfural and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural in the disti
llate, and these compounds cannot therefore be taken as aging markers.
