Abstract

The aroma profiles of Spanish wine vinegars with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) were described and compared for the first time by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O), odor-active values (OAVs) and quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA). Vinagre de Jerez Reserva (JRE) showed higher percentage of 'grassy-vegetal' impact odorants, while 'spicy' compounds highlighted the Pedro Ximenez category (JPX). Vinagre de Montilla-Moriles Reserva (MRE) had 'buttery-lactic' impact odorants, while 'empyreumatic' and 'sweet' aromas stood out for Pedro Ximenez category (MPX). Vinagre de Condado de Huelva Reserva (CRE) showed a stronger percentage of 'chemical' impact odorants. The key odorants were ethyl propionate, ethyl octanoate, propanoic acid and 4-ethylphenol for JRE, diacetyl and methional/furfural for JPX, acetoin for MRE, ethyl phenylacetate and vanillin for MPX and acetaldehyde diethyl acetal, isobutyl acetate, ethyl isovalerate and guaiacol for CRE. A good relation among the impact odorants and the sensory descriptors was observed.
