The Copigmentation of Anthocyanins and Its Role in the Color of Red Wine: A Critical Review

نویسنده

  • Roger Boulton
چکیده

The phenomenon of copigmentation is due to molecular associations between pigments and other (usually noncolored) organic molecules in solution. These associations cause the pigments to exhibit far greater color than would be expected from their concentration. The phenomenon has long been recognized in flowers and fruits. Willstatter and Zollinger [122,123] noted the intensification of color on the addition of tannin to acidic oenin (malvidin 3-glucoside) solutions, the major pigment that they had isolated from Alicante grapes. They also observed that the effect was not found in similar cyanin (cyanidin 3,5diglucoside) solutions. Copigmentation was studied more extensively by Robinson and Robinson [94], who ranked almost 30 different cofactors by their ability to provide a blue shift to acidic oenin (malvidin 3-glucoside) solutions. They noted, “it is evidently the result of the formation of weak additive complexes, The Copigmentation of Anthocyanins and Its Role in the Color of Red Wine: A Critical Review

Anthocyanins and their variation in red wines I. Monomeric anthocyanins and their color expression.

Originating in the grapes, monomeric anthocyanins in young red wines contribute the majority of color and the supposed beneficial health effects related to their consumption, and as such they are recognized as one of the most important groups of phenolic metabolites in red wines. In recent years, our increasing knowledge of the chemical complexity of the monomeric anthocyanins, their stability,...

Advanced Knowledge of Three Important Classes of Grape Phenolics: Anthocyanins, Stilbenes and Flavonols

Grape is qualitatively and quantitatively very rich in polyphenols. In particular, anthocyanins, flavonols and stilbene derivatives play very important roles in plant metabolism, thanks to their peculiar characteristics. Anthocyanins are responsible for the color of red grapes and wines and confer organoleptic characteristics on the wine. They are used for chemotaxonomic studies and to evaluate...

A Review of the Effect of Winemaking Techniques on Phenolic Extraction in Red Wines

Am. J. Enol. Vitic. 56:3 (2005) 197 Phenolic compounds are important to red wine quality because they impact color, mouthfeel, and ageability. Although phenolics are present in grape juice, the amount is greatly increased in wine because of their greater solubility in ethanol than in purely aqueous solutions. Typical levels of the major grape phenolics present in red wine are shown in Table 1. ...

Anthocyanins in grapes. Red wine color is incredibly complex. Any given wine is composed of hundreds of dynamic chemicals that are interacting and changing during the winemaking process. While evolution of color from purple-red to brick red in Vitis vinifera wines is familiar to both winemaking and scientific communities, the color of hybrid wines is less predictable, and often varies from the ...

Anthocyanins and their variation in red wines. II. Anthocyanin derived pigments and their color evolution.

Originating in the grapes, anthocyanins and their derivatives are the crucial pigments responsible for the red wine color. During wine maturation and aging, the concentration of monomeric anthocyanins declines constantly, while numerous more complex and stable anthocyanin derived pigments are formed, mainly including pyranoanthocyanins, polymeric anthocyanins produced from condensation between ...
