AWRI: <strong>Identification</strong> Of The Major Drivers Of ‘Phenolic’ Taste In White W<strong>in</strong>es<br />

A.2.4 Preparative Scale Up<br />

To obta<strong>in</strong> sufficient quantities <strong>of</strong> caftaric acid and grape reaction product for formal sensory assessment,<br />

<strong>the</strong> system was scaled up <strong>in</strong> an attempt to fractionate <strong>the</strong> phenolics from 2.25 L <strong>of</strong> w<strong>in</strong>e us<strong>in</strong>g a 500 mL<br />

coil. However, it was found that this scale up resulted <strong>in</strong> a substantial loss <strong>of</strong> resolution between caftaric<br />

acid and grape reaction product due to overload<strong>in</strong>g (data not shown), and although <strong>the</strong> problem could be<br />

resolved, it meant load<strong>in</strong>g smaller amounts <strong>of</strong> sample <strong>in</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation with excessively long and<br />

impractical run times. To overcome this limitation, a prelim<strong>in</strong>ary separation stage was applied, and is<br />

described below.<br />

A.2.5 Compound Extraction and Purification<br />

Both solvent systems provided good resolution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> compounds tested. While <strong>the</strong> ETANWAT (2:2:3)<br />

system was shown to be equally as effective <strong>in</strong> separat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> phenolic test compounds as <strong>the</strong><br />

HEMBWAT (3:7:3:0:7) system, <strong>the</strong> latter was chosen for fur<strong>the</strong>r test<strong>in</strong>g as its solvent components could<br />

be found <strong>in</strong> food grade form.<br />
