abstract
The Strecker aldehydes formed during the reaction between alpha-amino acids (phenylalanine or methionine) and either gallic acid, caffeic acid or (+)-catechin ortho-quinones were evaluated in wine-model systems. It was demonstrated that phenylacetaldehyde was formed by quinone intermediates at wine pH. The highest amounts of phenylacetaldehyde during the 10 days of experiment (69 +/- 5 mu g/L/day; 7x > Control) were obtained from (+) catechin, followed by gallic acid (61 +/- 4 mu g/L/day; 6x > Control) and caffeic acid (41 +/- 4 mu g/L/day; 4x > Control). The intermediate structures delivered from the reaction of ortho-quinones with alpha-amino acids were demonstrated by MSn. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
