Abstract
During the industrial fermentation of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo red wine–must the changes in amount and composition of 15 anthocyanins present were monitored by HPLC using a spectral array detection. The simultaneous recording of multi–wavelengths allowed the identification of 15 anthocyanins, which presented a characteristic pattern. Among the glycosilated anthocyanins (67–72%) malvidin–3–glucoside was predominant (47–51% of the total). A considerably high level of acylated anthocyanins (30% ± 6.19) was found. During the fermentation the total content of pigment increased up to 293 mg/L after 21 days, before a substantial loss of anthocyanins occurred. Individual anthocyanins showed a similar trend during the timecourse of maceration, being the final degradation step unrelated to the acylation pattern of anthocyanins. © 1999, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
