In this study, six enological tannins (T1–T6) from different source were analysed by selected analytical techniques, including UV–Vis, FTIR, NMR, SEC, LC-MS/MS and electronic nose. Moreover, the samples were tested for their antioxidant activity. Spectra and chromatograms are considered as a fingerprint with a pattern that is distinctive for a given type of sample. In particular, tannins showed the maximum UV–Vis absorbance (kmax) at 273–280 nm, the inflection point (kmin) at 247–264 nm, and the ratio kmax/ kmin was 1.03, 1.35, 1.67, 1.36, 2.15, 2.02 for tannin T1–T6, respectively. The FTIR analysis of tannins showed the presence of most important absorption bands at 1522, 1453, 1380, 1350, 1328, 1286, 1210, 1148 and 1044 cm-1. Besides, SEC and NMR analysis allowed to sort the tannins according to their average DP as follows: T1 > T2 = T4 > T3 > T6 = T5. Based on this multiple techniques approach three condensed tannins (sample T3, T5 and T6) were clearly identified, together with two mixtures of hydrolysable tannins (sample T1 and T2), whereas one sample (T4) showed a peculiar pattern different from the commercial tannin commonly used in enology.

Abstract
In this study, six enological tannins (T1–T6) from different source were analysed by selected analytical techniques, including UV–Vis, FTIR, NMR, SEC, LC-MS/MS and electronic nose. Moreover, the samples were tested for their antioxidant activity. Spectra and chromatograms are considered as a fingerprint with a pattern that is distinctive for a given type of sample. In particular, tannins showed the maximum UV–Vis absorbance (kmax) at 273–280 nm, the inflection point (kmin) at 247–264 nm, and the ratio kmax/ kmin was 1.03, 1.35, 1.67, 1.36, 2.15, 2.02 for tannin T1–T6, respectively. The FTIR analysis of tannins showed the presence of most important absorption bands at 1522, 1453, 1380, 1350, 1328, 1286, 1210, 1148 and 1044 cm-1. Besides, SEC and NMR analysis allowed to sort the tannins according to their average DP as follows: T1 > T2 = T4 > T3 > T6 = T5. Based on this multiple techniques approach three condensed tannins (sample T3, T5 and T6) were clearly identified, together with two mixtures of hydrolysable tannins (sample T1 and T2), whereas one sample (T4) showed a peculiar pattern different from the commercial tannin commonly used in enology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
