Abstract

Trace amounts of volatile sulfide compounds (VSCs), such as mercaptan, hydrogen sulfide, thioether, mercaptan ester, sulfur-containing fuel oil, and heterocyclic compounds, are found in wine. These VSCs have an important influence on the aroma, color, and taste of wines. This paper systematically analyzes the latest research progress of VSCs in wine from the perspective of source, sensory characteristics and analysis methods. Recently, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry have played an important role in the detection of VSCs. However, due to the complexity of wine substrates, the difficulties of VSCs detection, such as high volatility, poor stability and low detection threshold, so it is urgent to develop efficient and convenient detection methods for VSCs in complex samples. This review aims to provide reference for the effective control and regulation of VSCs in wine and the development of high-quality wines.
