Taste-Guided Isolation of Bitter Lignans from Quercus petraea and Their Identification in Wine.

Quercoresinosides A and B (1 and 2), two new lignans, were isolated from a toasted Quercus petraea heartwood extract along with a known compound, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenol 1-O-β-d-(6'-O-galloyl)glucopyranoside (3). The purification protocol was based on a taste-guided approach that sought to reveal new bitter compounds released from oak wood into wines and spirits. HRMS and NMR data were used to establish that compounds 1 and 2 are lignan derivatives bearing a glucosyl unit and a galloyl unit at the same positions. Hydrolysis of these compounds showed that they could be distinguished by the absolute configuration of their respective lyoniresinol genin as determined by chiral LC-HRMS in comparison with (+)- and (-)-lyoniresinol standards. Sensory analyses were performed in a non-oaked wine on the pure compounds 1-3. The three molecules exhibited a bitter taste at 2 mg/L that was particularly intense for compounds 2 and 3. Finally, LC-HRMS demonstrated the occurrence of compounds 1-3 in oaked wine and brandy, which supports the hypothesis of their contributions to the increase in bitterness during oak aging.
