Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The study of the volatile chemical composition of beverages has a potential role in several fields, such as food/beverage quality, food/beverage authenticity determination, the determination of toxins or dangerous compounds in food, or in the research of markers related to food/beverage production technology.

Sample preparation is a critical step of any analytical procedure since it is a source of errors and artifacts linked to the final analytical result. This step is crucial due to the complexity of the procedure when the concentrations of the target compounds are minimal. The isolation of volatile components from complex mixtures to obtain representative extracts is very difficult. Classical preparation protocols are commonly focused on increasing the detection and quantitation limits of the analytical procedure, and they usually include a preliminary clean-up followed by a pre-concentration step.

Methods of volatiles extraction from beverages display a varying degree of selectivity and effectiveness according to the target molecules and extraction conditions.

Solvent-free extraction methods are the most popular techniques, and are usually aimed to reduce wastes, artifacts, or sample loss. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was introduced in the early 1990s, and was the one of the first solvent-free procedures able to extract organic compounds even if present in very low amounts. At present, several additional techniques are commonly employed, and dynamic headspace extraction (DHS), stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE), and headspace sorptive extraction (HSSE) are some examples of solvent-free extraction procedures commonly coupled with a gas chromatographic technique.

Considering the aforementioned, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect the most recent studies dealing with the compositional characterization of volatiles from beverages, with a particular emphasis on the extraction method.

The current study evaluates the Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technique for the extraction of polyphenols from the plants Rosa canina, Calendulaofficinalis and Castanea sativa. These plants are traditionally used both for the preparation of therapeutic decoctions and the aromatization of beverages (alcoholic or not). Pulses of 10 μs duration were used to apply electric field intensities ranging from 1.2 to 2.0 kV cm−1. The period of the phenomenon was set to 1 ms, with a total extraction time of 20 min. The total polyphenol content as well as the identified polyphenolic compounds of the extracts were determined for monitoring and evaluation. To estimate the PEF effect, control extracts were prepared using the same process as PEF extracts but without the application of electric field. For all the three plant materials studied, the PEF technique appeared to be successful in increasing polyphenols extraction. The application of a moderate to high electric field, up to 1.4 kV cm−1, resulted in increased total and individual polyphenols recovery, reaching 63.79% and 84%, respectively, in the case of Rosa canina fruits.

Olive leaves (OLL), an agricultural waste by-product, are considered a significant bioresource of polyphenols, known as bioactive compounds. This study evaluates the pulsed electric field (PEF) technique for the extraction of polyphenols from OLL. The study parameters included a series of “green” solvents (ethanol, water as well as mixtures of them at a 25% step gradient) and different input values for the pulse duration of PEF. The phytochemical extraction degree was evaluated using total phenol concentration (Folin–Ciocalteu method) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses, while the antioxidant activity was assessed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results obtained from the PEF extracts were compared with those of the extracts produced without the PEF application. The highest PEF effect was observed for aqueous ethanol, 25% v/v, using a pulse duration of 10 μs. The increase in the total polyphenols reached 31.85%, while the increase in the specific metabolites reached 265.67%. The recovery in polyphenols was found to depend on the solvent, the pulse duration of treatment and the structure of the metabolites extracted. Full article

This work proposes the elaboration of a product based on the maceration of Sherry Vinegar together with pineapple in order to extract certain volatile compounds that can be found in pineapples, giving a final product with new organoleptic properties and increased polyphenolic content. Maceration trials were carried out with the application of microwaves and ultrasound, which reduced the maceration time from the traditional three-day solid-liquid maceration to just a few minutes. In addition, through maceration, the total polyphenol index increased significantly with respect to unmacerated vinegar, and the volatile profile of the vinegars was significantly modified. The tasting scores placed the pineapple macerated vinegar sample obtained by traditional maceration in the first place with respect to pineapple aroma; however, the microwave extraction samples were better rated in terms of overall quality. It can be concluded that the application of extracting energies, such as microwaves, can be a viable alternative for the production of sherry vinegar macerated with pineapple. Full article
