Abstract:

Cork taint, a musty off-odor in affected bottles, is among the most serious problems affecting wine sensory quality. And the main responsible factor for this organoleptic defect is attributable to 2,4,6-trichloroanisole(TCA). This paper mainly introduces methods for the extraction, concentration and detection of TCA from wine and wine corks. The application prospects of analytical methods for TCA are also predicted.

Key words: TCA, wine, cork, detection, extraction and concentration
