RT Journal Article T1 Insights on the effect of age and gender on in-mouth volatile release during wine tasting A1 Pérez Jiménez, María A1 Muñoz González, Carolina A1 Chaya, Carolina A1 Fernández Ruiz, Virginia A1 Álvarez, María Dolores A1 Herranz Hernández, María Beatriz A1 Pozo Bayón, María Ángeles AB This study focus for the first time, in looking for age-gender effects on in vivo volatile release during wine consumption, also considering oral physiological differences (e.g. saliva composition). To do so, the in-mouth Head Space Sorptive Extraction technique was used, which allowed monitoring the oral release of twenty-four different types of volatile compounds from white and red wines. Thirty-two individuals (n = 32) males and females, belonging to two different age groups: young (18–35 y.o) and senior (>55 y.o.) participated in this analytical in vivo study. Results showed differences in volatile release among age-gender groups, which also depended on the volatile compound and wine type. Senior groups (SM, SF) showed a similar release behaviour among them. Contrarily, young males showed a higher release (between 10 and 29%) of alcohols and esters indistinctly of the wine type, while young females showed the lowest oral volatile release among the four age-gender groups. Gender differences in volatile release were more evident in young than in seniors. A higher release of furanic compounds (furfural and 5-methyl furfural) in seniors was likely related to differences in their saliva composition (total protein content, minerals (Mg, Zn) and α-amylase activity).
