Abstract:
Anthocyanins in aged Cabernet Sauvignon red wines were studied by HPLC-MS. The major anthocyanin in 6, 7, and 8year old red wine extracts was the dimer vitisin A produced by condensation of malvidin-3-O-glucoside mediated by pyruvic acid. In aged wine, the content of malvidin-3-O-glucoside decreased with age with a concomitant increase of vitisin A. The latter is accompanied by several condensation products with molecular weight up to 1500m/z. Differential pulse voltammetry indicated that aged wines have lower antioxidant capacity than young wine (400mV), but higher than malvidin-3-O-glucoside (483mV). Tafel's plots showed that the electrochemical process occurring in aged wines is different from young wines. Six, seven and eight year old wines show similar behaviour with plots of 234, 177 and 188mV/dec, respectively. These values are higher than the expected 120mV/dec corresponding to a first electronic transfer but smaller compared to the 523mV/dec corresponding to young wine.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
