This study investigated the effect of micro-oxygenation (MOX) on the aroma quality of Ningxia wine for the first time. The dose and timing of oxygen addition were found to be key factors influencing the effectiveness of MOX. MOX treatment significantly modified the aroma compounds in the wine, improving the aroma quality by reducing unwanted odors and enhancing the olfactory intensities of dried fruits, flowers, and nuts.
Micro-oxygenation (MOX) is an effective post-harvest technique for the flavor improvement of grape wine. This study investigated the effect of MOX on the aroma quality of Ningxia wine for the first time. Three sub-region Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wines were treated with different levels of oxygen before or after malolactic fermentation. The wine aroma was analyzed through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) after six months of aging. The data obtained demonstrated that the dose and timing of oxygen addition were key factors influencing the effectiveness of MOX. The most noticeable modifications in wine aroma compounds were generated by an oxygen dosage of 30 (mL/L)/month added before malolactic fermentation. Predominantly, the concentrations of 2-phenylethanol, benzaldehyde, diacetyl, and 2,3-pentanedione showed an increased pattern upon MOX treatments. The sensory analysis revealed that MOX improved the aroma quality of wine by decreasing green and animal odors, meanwhile enhancing the olfactory intensities of dried fruits, flowers, and nuts. This work confirmed that MOX was suitable for aroma modification of Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine from Ningxia and established a preliminary MOX procedure that can serve as a reference for future applications.
