Abstract This study validates a new methodology which allows the direct quantification of 13 volatile aldehyde compounds related to oxidative off-flavours in wine. The compounds investigated were four (E)-2-alkenals ((E)-2-heptenal, (E)-2-hexenal, (E)-2octenal and (E)-2-nonenal), four Strecker aldehydes (2-methylpropanal, 3-methylbutanal, methional and 2-phenylacetaldehyde) and five general aldehydes (hexanal, furfural, 5-methylfurfural, benzaldehyde and nonanal). This methodology involved the addition of p-benzoquinone to release the aldehydes bound to hydrogen sulfite, collection via solid phase extraction, derivatisation by o-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride and quantification by gas chromatography triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring mode. Overall, the limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy (recovery, 98–103%) and precision (repeatability and reproducibility, RSD ≤ 15%) are sufficient to enable routine measurement of the 13 aldehyde compounds in wine. Sixteen commercial white and red wines of varied varieties and vintages were analysed with this methodology. White wines trended to have higher concentrations of the aldehyde compounds in comparison with the red wines. Keywords Wine . Oxidation . Volatile aldehyde compounds .

Oxygen plays an important role in winemaking and wine ageing by promoting numerous reactions and leading to alterations in wine composition (Singleton 1987; Laurie and Clark 2010), including aroma evolution (Ugliano 2013), colour stabilisation (Wirth et al. 2010; Gambuti et al. 2013) and astringency reduction (del Carmen Llaudy et al. 2006; Chira et al. 2011). Uncontrolled oxygen exposure can lead to the deterioration of both wine colour and aroma (Escudero et al. 2002; Silva Ferreira et al. 2003; Bueno et al. 2016), the latter of which is characterised by the loss of fresh fruit attributes (Hofmann et al. 1996; Pons et al. 2013) and the development of oxidative offflavours (Bueno et al. 2016), often described as hay, old wood (Silva Ferreira et al. 2003), papery, fusel (Culleré et al. 2007), farm-feed and cooked vegetables (Silva Ferreira et al. 2002).
