“…This paper addresses the rather unexplored topic of cider production in the Canary Islands, an archipelago located nearby the Saharan coast in the Atlantic Ocean. Apple cultivation started immediately during the Spanish conquest of the islands in the sixteenth century, and cidermaking is documented already in the late nineteenth century (Viera and Clavijo, 2004). This traditional craft cider did not achieve commercial status until the 1980s, when the first commercial ciders appeared in the market.…”

PurposeThe main aim of this study is to characterise and identify specific chemo-sensory profiles of ciders from the Canary Islands (Spain).Design/methodology/approachCommercial samples of Canary ciders were compared to ciders from the Basque Country and Asturias. In total, 18 samples were studied, six for each region. The analysis comprised their sensory profiling and chemical characterisation of their polyphenolic profile, volatile composition, conventional chemical parameters and CIELAB colour coordinates. In parallel, the sensory profile of the samples from the Canary Islands was first compared with their Basque and Asturian counterparts by labelled sorting task. Then, their specific aroma profile was characterised by flash profile. Further quantification of sensory-active compounds was performed by GC–MS and GC-FID to identify the volatile compounds involved in their aroma profile.FindingsResults show that Canary ciders present a specific chemical profile characterised by higher levels of ethanol, and hydroxycinnamic acids, mainly t-ferulic, t-coumaric and neochologenic acids, and lower levels of volatile and total acidity than their Asturian and Basque counterparts. They also present a specific aroma profile characterised by fruity aroma, mainly fruit in syrup and confectionary, and sweet flavours related to their highest levels of vinylphenols formed by transformation of hydroxycinnamic acids.Originality/valueAn integrated strategy to explore the typicity of the currently existing Canary ciders in the market was developed. The results are important in that they will help other regions to identify specific typical chemo-sensory profiles and to promote the creation of certifications supporting regional typicity.

En el siguiente trabajo presentamos un estudio de arte rupestre de varios emplazamientos arqueológicos en la zona conocida como Morros y Montaña de Santiago (San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Gran Canaria). Teniendo en cuenta que en estas zonas arqueológicas se localizan vestigios de factura indígena y de época colonial nuestro objetivo principal se focaliza en hallar la relación existente entre los mismos utilizando métodos de documentación no invasivos. Por tanto, nos encontramos ante un claro ejemplo de sincretismo religioso, donde se celebraron ritos relacionados con lo sagrado, en un territorio utilizado antes, durante y después de la conquista de Canarias. This article is a study of rock art from various archaeological sites in the area known as Morros and Montaña de Santiago (San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Gran Canaria). Given that these archaeological areas contain vestiges of both indigenous and colonial-era manufacture, the main focus was to piece together the relationship between the two by way of non-invasive methods of documentation. Ultimately, all this points to a clear example of religious syncretism and the practice of sacred rites in a territory used before, during and after the conquest of the Canary Islands.
