“…Oxidation can produce significant organoleptic modifications in wine flavor and color, mainly consisting of a loss of aromatic freshness, degradation of anthocyanins, the pigments mainly responsible for wine color, and the appearance of brown precipitates of condensed phenolic material (Benítez, Castro, Natera, & Barroso, 2006;Cheynier, Basire, & Rigaud, 1989;Gó mez, Martínez, & Laencina, 1995;Simpson, 1982;Singleton, 1987;Zurbano et al, 1995). Wine capacity to take up oxygen and to withstand oxidation is roughly measured by the total content of phenols, phenols being the major substrates for oxygen in wine.…”
