Arqus CChSD Webinar #8: “The Enigma of Wine Aroma: Navigating the Complexities of Chemical Composition and Perception”
Type: Arqus Living Labs, Climate Change
Open to: Academics & researchers, Early Post-docs, PhD Students, Students
The Arqus Climate Change and Sustainable Development (CChSD) cluster invites researchers and students to participate in the webinar “The Enigma of Wine Aroma: Navigating the Complexities of Chemical Composition and Perception”, which will take place on Friday, 19th April 2024, at 15:00 CEST.
The complexity of wine aromas stems from the diverse range of wines and their evolving scents over time. Wines exhibit a palette of subtle aromas, challenging to define and perceived uniquely by individuals. This sensorial complexity arises from the chemical composition of wine aromas, which includes thousands of molecules, predominantly volatile compounds. Analyzing these odor-active molecules requires sophisticated isolation and quantification methods due to their varying concentrations. Understanding their role in wine aroma nuances demands a structured approach, navigating the intricacies of chemical composition and sensory perception.
The session, led by Prof. Ricardo López from the University of Zaragoza, is part of the Blended Intensive Programme on “Plant adaptations to climate changes” that is being organised by the Universities of Granada, Minho, Wroclaw and the Université Catholique de Louvain.
