Caftaric Acid Disappearance and Conversion to Products of Enzymic Oxidation in Grape Must and Wine
Open accessAbstract
Enzymic oxidation during crushing and must preparation causes major losses of caftaric and coutaric acids in large part by conversion to a single specific reaction product quantifiable by HPLC. Similar reaction products are produced by oxidation in the presence of cysteine and other sulfhydryl compounds, and the identical one is produced by the interaction of the four components: glutathione, caftaric (or coutaric) acid, active polyphenoloxidase, and oxygen. This is believed to be the first proof of rather high levels (typically about 160 mg/L) of free glutathione in crushed grapes. While it is a product of oxidation, S-glutathionyl caftaric acid is itself oxidizable, but is not a substrate for grape polyphenoloxidase. It is not brown, but has an absorption maximum at about 325 nm sufficiently similar to that of caftaric acid that it appears satisfactorily quantitated by the same relative extinction. Its production is important in limiting the browning of musts. It survives into commercial wines and is important in explaining the nonflavonoid phenol content of wines and the oxidation of white wines.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
