✦ Synopsis
Analysis of wine fractions before and after thiolysis con®rmed the occurrence in red wine of direct reactions between anthocyanins and tannins established earlier in model solutions. Results showed the presence of two types of structures differing in the linkage position of the anthocyanin moiety. On one hand, detection of malvidin-3-glucoside (Mv3g) among thiolysis products revealed the presence of anthocyanin-derived pigments in which Mv3g is linked by its C-6 or C-8 top. On the other hand, LC/MS analysis allowed the detection of two derivatives tentatively identi®ed as ¯avenes or a bicyclic condensation products yielded by the reaction of a ¯avanol monomer (C-6 or C-8 top) with malvidin-3-glucoside (C-4 position). The presence of the corresponding benzylthioethers after thiolysis of the polymeric fractions con®rmed that procyanidins are similarly involved in the latter reaction. Besides, MS also allowed the detection of new benzylthioethers of catechin derivatives released after thiolysis of the wine fractions, indicating that in addition to the postulated processes other types of reactions take place in wines.
