G. Nicolini et al., 3-HEXEN-1-OL ISOMERS IN MULLER-THURGAU WINES - A VARIETAL CHARACTERISTIC AFFECTED BY MUST SULFITING TIME, Vitis, 35(3), 1996, pp. 147-148
Must sulfiting time can be responsible for differences in the (3E)/(3Z
)-hexen-1-ol ratio of wines produced on a semi-industrial and industri
al scale. However, as the (3E) isomer is normally higher than the (32)
isomer, the ratio could be used, with some caution, as a contributing
parameter to verifying the varietal origin of some wines, in particul
ar of Muller-Thurgau. After hexanol, (3E)-hexen-1-ol seems to be the m
ain Cb-alcohol in Muller-Thurgau wines from Trentino (Italy).
