Abstract

Research Note

The effect of caffeic acid and SO, on the interaction between malvidin 3-glucoside, (+)-catechin and acetaldehyde was investigated in model wine systems. Reactions were monitored by HPLC, spectrophotometry and tristimulus colorimetry. Caffeic acid had only a marginal effect on the reactions involving the other components in these model wine solutions.
