- Abstract
- In model oxidized media, six theaspirane-derived compounds were identified by gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry: 4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-β-ionone, 6-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-α-ionone, dihydrodehydro-β-ionone, two monoepoxides, and a derived alcohol. Only 4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-β-ionone and dihydrodehydro-β-ionone have been described previously in the literature. Investigation of hop revealed five of these compounds in free form together with theaspirane (especially in the Mosaic variety), while the Citra and Amarillo hop varieties emerged as very interesting for the release of theaspirane, 4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-β-ionone, and dihydrodehydro-β-ionone from glucoside precursors. For the first time, theaspirane, 4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-β-ionone, 6-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-α-ionone, and both monoepoxides were found in a fresh commercial top fermentation beer (only theaspirane, 4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-β-ionone, and dihydrodehydro-β-ionone have recently been mentioned as Gueuze constituents).
