Formation of volatile and maturation‐related congeners during the aging of sugarcane spirit in oak barrels

Formation of volatile and maturation‐related congeners during the aging of sugarcane spirit in... The aging process of distilled spirits is a complex system based on the extraction of molecules from the wood and interactions with the liquid, the phenomenon of migration of wood constituents, as well as the formation and degradation of several compounds. Volatile and maturation‐related congeners were evaluated during the aging process of cachaça, a Brazilian sugarcane spirit aged in oak barrels. Aged cachaça presented alterations in the levels of ethanol, higher alcohols, acetaldehyde, volatile acidity, ethyl acetate, total volatile congeners, isoamyl alcohol, ethyl carbamate and copper. The aging markers (gallic acid, furfural, 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, vanillic acid, syringic acid, vanillin, syringaldehyde, sinapaldehyde and coniferaldehyde) were compared with the compounds found in whisky, cognac, armagnac, bourbon and brandy. Monitoring the generation and evolution of congeners during the aging process allowed the characterization of cachaça and the identification of product maturity.

Abstract

The aging process of distilled spirits is a complex system based on the extraction of molecules from the wood and interactions with the liquid, the phenomenon of migration of wood constituents, as well as the formation and degradation of several compounds. Volatile and maturation‐related congeners were evaluated during the aging process of cachaça, a Brazilian sugarcane spirit aged in oak barrels. Aged cachaça presented alterations in the levels of ethanol, higher alcohols, acetaldehyde, volatile acidity, ethyl acetate, total volatile congeners, isoamyl alcohol, ethyl carbamate and copper. The aging markers (gallic acid, furfural, 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, vanillic acid, syringic acid, vanillin, syringaldehyde, sinapaldehyde and coniferaldehyde) were compared with the compounds found in whisky, cognac, armagnac, bourbon and brandy. Monitoring the generation and evolution of congeners during the aging process allowed the characterization of cachaça and the identification of product maturity.
