The purpose of this work is to evaluate the wine spirit aged by an alternative process (staves combined with different micro-oxygenation levels) and its comparison traditional (wooden barrels). This evaluation was made analyzing volatile compounds sensory profile spirits during 365 days ageing. findings confirmed role played oxygen in spirits. Samples ageing modalities were well distinguished f...

This study compared the use of three sensory and analytical techniques: Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA), Napping, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for assessment flavour in nine unmatured whisky spirits produced using different yeasts. Hierarchical Multiple Factor (HMFA) showed a similar pattern sample discrimination (RV scores: 0.895–0.927) across were mostly separated by t...

BACKGROUND Surprisingly little information on symptoms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is available in scientific literature. Using questionnaires, we have analyzed the symptoms associated with arrhythmia attacks.
