Influence of geographical location, site and silvicultural parameters, on volatile composition of Quercus pyrenaica Willd. wood used in wine aging

Damage and Loss Due to Ceratocystis fimbriata in Eucalyptus Wood for Charcoal Production

“…In this area, the incidence of C. fimbriata caused a higher volume loss of 29.3%; meanwhile, the extractives in trees from Paraopeba increased by 51.38%, and no wood volume loss due to disease was reported, showing resistance to the fungus at the last location. (Alañón et al 2011;Freire et al 2005;Zanuncio et al 2013b). The decreased wood production in infected trees may be related to the increased desire to produce compounds that have high energy expenditure, such as lignin, whose biosynthesis requires more energy than holocellulose (Sjöströn 1981).…”

Wine science in the metabolomics era

“…However, not all oakwood species are suitable to carry on the ageing process. Only Quercus alba, Q. robur, Q. petraeae, and recently Q. pyreanaica are used in cooperage for this purpose, due to their chemical composition and mechanical properties in shaping barrels [54][55][56]. This stage increases, even more, the chemical complexity of wines due to the chemical composition of different oak species from diverse forests and locations.…”

Fingerprints of acacia aging treatments by barrels or chips based on volatile profile, sensorial properties, and multivariate analysis

“…By far, oak ( Quercus alba, Q. petraea and Q. robur ) has been the most common wood used to carry out wine aging process. However, other oak species different from those traditionally used, and other type of woods have been considered in recent years with the aim of diversifying the sensorial spectrum of aged wines . One of the alternative woods used to carry out the aging process is acacia ( Robinia pseudoacacia ).…”

“…However, other oak species different from those traditionally used, and other type of woods have been considered in recent years with the aim of diversifying the sensorial spectrum of aged wines. 2,[5][6][7][8][9][10] One of the alternative woods used to carry out the aging process is acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia). Acacia wood is generally characterized by low extractable tannin and polyphenol content 9 and its main extractive compounds are flavonoids.…”
