Abstract:

The effect of major flavor compounds in wine on hydrogen bonds of water-ethanol system was studied. Plackett- Burman experiments confirmed that hydrogen bonds of water-ethanol system were greatly affected by isobutanol, β-phenylethyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, KCl, NaCl, MgSO4, malic acid, lactic acid and pyruvic acid. Correlation analysis indicated that coefficient between alcohol concentration and hydrogen bond intensity was 0.629. Therefore, alcohol concentration was the primary factor to hydrogen bond intensity although original wort concentration, isobutanol, Cl-, K+, pyruvic acid and lactic acid also exhibited an influence on hydrogen bond intensity to some extent.

Key words: hydrogen bond, water-ethanol system, beer, NMR
