A New Chemical Pathway Yielding A-Type Vitisins in Red Wines
A new chemical pathway yielding A-type vitisins in red wines is proposed herein from the reaction between anthocyanins and oxaloacetic acid (OAA). This new chemical path is thought to occur in the first stages of the wine production even during the fermentation process. This is due to the revealed h...

A new chemical pathway yielding A-type vitisins in red wines is proposed herein from the reaction between anthocyanins and oxaloacetic acid (OAA).

This is due to the revealed high reactivity of OAA with anthocyanins compared with the already known precursor (pyruvic acid, PA).
