Abstract: | The most famous wine type of Hungary is Tokaji Aszú. Noble rotted botrytised (Aszú) grape berries and a specific vinification technology give its unique delicious aroma and taste. The present work compares volatile aroma components of noble rotted Aszú grape berries from two different locations in the Tokaj wine district. Aszú grape berries have been soaked in 10% ethanol-containing water solutions and thereafter extracted with Freon 11. Volatile components were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The total ion chromatograms contained 220-260 components. More than 80 components are identified, among them alcohols, aldehydes, acids, acetals, esters, epoxides, nitrils, furan derivatives and lactones. The compositional differences between the two Aszú grape samples are analysed according to the different component classes. The differences are quantitative rather than qualitative. Some δ-lactones are identified for the first time in noble rotted berries from Tokaj. These substances have very characteristic odor notes such as coconut, chocolate, peach, fruity. Together with the identified γ-lactones they seem to be characteristic aroma components of Tokaji Aszú wines. |
