This document relates to materials and methods for producing alcoholic beverages (e.g., wines and spirits) from individual components.
Traditional methods for producing alcoholic beverages are often lengthy and costly, involving the harvesting of fastidious crops, followed by processing, fermenting, and aging steps. Each component of the traditional process has an inherent variability and risk, including climate, crop disease, and contamination, which can render such methods and their resulting products inconsistent. The use of traditional wine production methods requires difficult controls for variability, often involving adulteration of the final product with ingredients to mask imperfections.
This document is based, at least in part, on the discovery that compounds that contribute to the flavor and aroma of various alcoholic beverages (e.g., white wines, red wines, blush wines, and spirits) can be identified and combined to yield alcoholic beverage replicas that have the taste, aroma, and other characteristics of traditionally generated alcoholic beverages. Because each ingredient is added individually, the methods disclosed herein can reduce many of the risks and variability associated with traditional production of alcoholic beverages. In some cases, one or more ingredients (e.g., at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100% of the ingredients) can be highly defined (e.g., by lot analysis). In some cases, one or more ingredients (e.g., at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100% of the ingredients) can be highly pure (e.g., at least 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, or 99.9% pure). The methods also can provide infinite reproducibility of a recipe, which is not possible with traditional production methods. Further, the methods described herein allow for unique flexibility in optimization of the flavors, aromas, and textures of alcoholic beverages, and greatly reduce or even eliminate the possibility that the resulting beverages will contain detrimental or undesired components. Moreover, the methods disclosed herein differ from currently existing methods in that they are rapid, reproducible, and cost-effective.
Traditional alcoholic beverages are complex mixtures on a chemical level. In some aspects, this document provides alcoholic beverage replicas that are less complex than a traditional alcoholic beverage. It was surprising that the replicas disclosed herein, do not need to have the complexity of a traditional alcoholic beverage in order to be perceived as such. It was also surprising that some compounds, which by themselves have an unpleasant taste and/or smell, can enhance the taste and/or smell of the alcoholic beverage replicas disclosed herein. Non-limiting examples of such components include isovaleric acid (which has been associated with foot smell) and butyric acid (which has been associated with the smell of vomit). It was further surprising that the exclusion of some compounds found in all tested traditional alcoholic beverages was not detrimental to the alcoholic beverage replicas described herein. Similarly, it was surprising that some compounds that were not found in any tested traditional alcoholic beverage could be beneficial to the alcoholic beverage replicas described herein. It was also surprising that alcoholic beverage replicas described herein containing some compounds in amounts greater than the highest measured amount in any tested traditional alcoholic beverage or lower than the lowest measured amount in any tested traditional alcoholic beverage were superior to replicas that contained the same compounds in amounts within the measured range of traditional alcoholic beverage. Therefore, in another aspect, this document provides alcoholic beverage replicas that are not mere replicas of existing products, but instead provide a similar sensory experience with a different chemical composition.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used to practice the invention, suitable methods and materials are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. In case of conflict, the present specification, including definitions, will control. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.
The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the description below. Other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and from the claims.
This document provides alcoholic beverage replicas (including, without limitation, wines such as red wines, white wines, blush wines, and sparkling wines, and spirits such as whiskey, tequila, sake, and rum), as well as methods for making alcoholic beverage replicas by combining water and ethanol with individual VOCs and non-volatile organic compounds. The alcoholic beverage replicas described herein have characteristics—including taste, aroma, mouthfeel, and appearance—of traditionally generated alcoholic beverages, and are meant to be consumed and enjoyed in the same manner as traditional alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverage replicas that can be made as described herein include, without limitation, red wines such as Syrah/Shiraz, Merlot, cabernet sauvignon, Malbec, pinot noir, and zinfandel; white wines such as Moscato, pinot grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, and Riesling; blush wines such as white zinfandel, blush Chablis, and red rosé; and spirits such as tequila, whiskey, vodka, gin, sake, baijiu, brandy, soju, and rum.
As used herein, the terms “traditional” and “reference” alcoholic beverages refer to alcoholic beverages produced through standard winemaking (vinification) and distilling processes that include the fermentation of plant matter such as corn, barley, peat, blue agave, and various fruits, including grapes. “Traditionally-produced” alcoholic beverages are alcoholic beverages that are generated using standard processes.
In some embodiments, an alcoholic beverage replica can consist of the ingredients included in a particular list, or can have a VOC content (or non-volatile compound content) that consists of the VOCs or non-volatile compounds included in a particular list. Further, an alcoholic beverage replica can consist essentially of the ingredients included in a particular list, or can have a VOC content (or non-volatile compound content) that consists essentially of the VOCs or non-volatile compounds that are included in a particular list. By “consisting essentially of” is meant that an alcoholic beverage replica contains specified ingredients/VOCs/non-volatile compounds, and can contain additional ingredients/VOCs/non-volatile compounds that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the alcoholic beverage replica.
In general, the alcoholic beverage replicas include the following components, or classes of components:
a) a source of water, either pure or with mineral content present to improve flavor;
b) a source of distilled ethanol with a concentration between about 20% and 100% weight by volume;
c) one or more VOCs; and
d) one or more non-volatile compounds.
Water is the main component of the replicas, acting as a solvent for all the other ingredients. The ethanol component provides the alcoholic content to the replicas. The VOCs can provide both aroma and flavor to the wine, including fruity, floral, earthy, herbaceous, oak, yeast, spice, and/or mineral aromas and flavors. The non-volatile components can provide acidity and much of the flavor, aftertaste, and mouthfeel perception of the replicas.
In some embodiments, an alcoholic beverage replica can include water, ethanol, and (a) one or more additional VOCs (i.e., VOCs in addition to ethanol), where the one or more additional VOCs are not present in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage; (b) one or more additional VOCs, where the one or more additional VOCs do not include one or more VOCs that are present in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage; (c) one or more non-volatile compounds, where the one or more non-volatile compounds are not present in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage; (d) one or more non-volatile compounds, where the one or more non-volatile compounds do not include one or more non-volatile compounds that are present in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage; or (e) any combination of (a), (b), (c), and (d) [(a) and (b); (a) and (c); (a) and (d); (b) and (c); (b) and (d); (c) and (d); (a), (b), and (c); (a), (b), and (d); (a), (c), and (d); (b), (c), and (d); or (a), (b), (c), and (d)].
In general, the alcoholic beverage replicas provided herein can have an ethanol content of about 3% to about 70% (v/v) (e.g., about 3% to about 7%, about 5% to about 10%, about 7% to about 12%, about 10% to about 20%, about 20% to about 30%, about 30% to about 40%, about 40% to about 50%, about 50% to about 60%, or about 60% to about 70% (v/v)). For example, a wine replica can have an ethanol content of about 3% to about 12% (v/v) (e.g., about 3%, about 4%, about 5%, about 6%, about 7%, about 8%, about 9%, about 10%, about 11%, about 12%, about 3 to 5%, about 4 to 6%, about 4.5 to 6.5%, about 5 to 7%, about 5.5 to 7.5%, about 6 to 8%, about 7 to 9%, about 8 to 10%, about 9 to 11%, about 10 to 12%, about 3 to 6%, about 4 to 7%, about 5 to 8%, about 5.5 to 9%, about 6 to 9%, about 6 to 9.5%, about 6.5 to 10%, about 7 to 10%, about 8 to 11%, or about 9 to 12% v/v). A spirit such as whiskey may have an ethanol content of about 30% to about 50% (v/v) (e.g., about 30% to about 35%, about 35% to about 40%, about 40% to about 45%, or about 45% to about 50%). Other alcoholic beverage replicas can have an ethanol content within any range between about 3% and about 70% (v/v).
It is to be noted, however, that the ethanol component can be omitted in order to generate a “non-alcoholic” version of an alcoholic beverage replica. In such ethanol-free embodiments, the amounts of the other components may be changed, and the ethanol may be replaced at least in part by water.
The additional VOCs present in an alcoholic beverage replica can include compounds that fall into several categories, including esters, acids, higher alcohols, terpenes/isoprenoids, phenols, lactones, amines/pyrazines, thiols/thiazoles/sulfides, ethers, acetals, and furans. In some embodiments, for example, an alcoholic beverage replica can include an ester and an alcohol (in addition to ethanol). In some embodiments, for example, an alcoholic beverage replica can contain VOCs that include an ester, an acid, an alcohol in addition to the ethanol, an aldehyde, ketone, or both, a terpene, isoprenoid, or both, a phenol, a lactone, and an amine, pyrazine, or both. It will be appreciated that any and all stereoisomers can be used when no stereochemistry is specified.
Esters, including ethyl, methyl, and acetate esters, can contribute to the fruity and floral characteristics of an alcoholic beverage. Esters that may be used in an alcoholic beverage replica include, without limitation, one or more of ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl lactate, 2-phenylethylacetate, ethyl octanoate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl butyrate, butyl acetate, ethyl decanoate, dimethyl succinate, isobutyl acetate, butyl formate, ethyl laurate, ethyl isovalerate, ethyl valerate, linalyl butyrate, linalyl acetate, linalyl formate, hexyl acetate, ethyl cinnamate, methyl vanillate, 2-methylbutyl acetate, ethyl myristate, ethyl palmitate, ethyl-2-mercaptopropionate, ethyl isobutyrate, butyl isovalerate, ethyl-2-methylbutyrate, methyl octanoate, methyl salicylate, methyl laurate, ethyl undecanoate, ethyl propionate, ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate, ethyl heptanoate, benzyl acetate, ethyl nonanoate, ethyl anthranilate, geranyl acetate, isoamyl octanoate, hexyl hexanoate, phenethyl propionate, phenethyl butyrate, phenethyl isobutyrate, phenethyl octanoate, methyl hexanoate, methyl decanoate, methyl dihydrojasmonate, amyl butyrate, ethyl phenyl acetate, ethyl-trans-2-butenoate, ethyl-trans-3-hexenoate, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, isoamyl hexanoate, octyl acetate, heptyl acetate, propyl hexanoate, amyl formate, citronellyl acetate, dimethyl succinate, geranyl acetate, and neryl acetate, and any combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the alcoholic beverage replicas provided herein can include one or more (e.g., one, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight, nine, ten, or more than then) VOCs that are not present in a corresponding traditional alcoholic beverage. The presence, absence, and/or amount of VOCs and non-volatile compounds in traditional alcoholic beverages and in alcoholic beverage replicas is assessed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods as described herein. A volatile or non-volatile compound that is “not present” in a reference alcoholic beverage is one that is not detected in the reference alcoholic beverage using the methods set forth in Example 1. Limits of detection for various VOCs are disclosed in TABLES 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D herein, and limits of detection for various non-volatile compounds are disclosed in TABLES 9A and 9B herein.

In some embodiments, the additional VOCs can exclude one or more VOCs that are present in a corresponding traditional alcoholic beverage. Non-limiting examples of such compounds include 2,4,6-trimethylphenol (mesitol), 5-ethyl-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(5H)-furanone (maple furanone), 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, b-caryophellene, cis-2-hexenol, hexadecanol, methyl cyclopentenolone, nonanoic acid, and terpinolene. In some embodiments, an alcoholic beverage replica can include at least one (e.g., at least 1, at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, 1 to 9, 1 to 8, 1 to 7, 1 to 6, 1 to 5, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, 1 to 2, 2 to 9, 2 to 8, 2 to 7, 2 to 6, 2 to 5, 2 to 4, 2 to 3, 3 to 9, 3 to 8, 3 to 7, 3 to 6, 3 to 5, 3 to 4, 4 to 9, 4 to 8, 4 to 7, 4 to 6, 4 to 5, 5 to 9, 5 to 8, 5 to 7, or 5 to 6) compounds selected from the group consisting of 2,4,6-trimethylphenol (mesitol), 5-ethyl-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(5H)-furanone (maple furanone), 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, b-caryophellene, cis-2-hexenol, hexadecanol, methyl cyclopentenolone, nonanoic acid, and terpinolene.
An alcoholic beverage replica can include any appropriate number of additional VOCs. For example, an alcoholic beverage replica can include 1 to 100 (e.g., at least 5, at least 10, at least 20, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50, 1 to 90, 1 to 80, 1 to 70, 1 to 60, 1 to 50, 1 to 40, 1 to 30, 1 to 20, 1 to 10, 1 to 5, 5 to 100, 5 to 90, 5 to 80, 5 to 70, 5 to 60, 5 to 40, 5 to 30, 5 to 20, 5 to 10, 10 to 100, 10 to 90, 10 to 90, 10 to 70, 10 to 60, 10 to 50, 10 to 40, 10 to 30, 10 to 20, 20 to 100, 20 to 90, 20 to 80, 20 to 70, 20 to 60, 20 to 50, 20 to 40, 20 to 30, 30 to 100, 30 to 90, 30 to 80, 30 to 70, 30 to 60, 30 to 50, 30 to 40, 40 to 100, 40 to 90, 40 to 80, 40 to 70, 40 to 60, 40 to 50, 50 to 100, 50 to 90, 50 to 80, 50 to 70, or 50 to 60) additional VOCs. In some cases, the number of additional VOCs in an alcoholic beverage replica can be less than the number of additional VOCs in a single corresponding reference alcoholic beverage.
Further, in some embodiments, the alcoholic beverage replicas provided herein can lack one or more (e.g., one, two, three, four, five, ten, 15, 20, or more than 20) VOCs that are present in a corresponding traditional alcoholic beverage. In some cases, the overall population of additional (non-ethanol) VOCs in an alcoholic beverage replica can have less than 95% identity to the VOCs in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage (e.g., in a single type of traditionally made alcoholic beverage corresponding to the replica). For example, the additional VOCs in an alcoholic beverage replica can have less than 90%, less than 80%, less than 70%, less than 60%, less than 50%, or less than 40% identity to the population of VOCs in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage made by traditional methods. Some alcoholic beverage replicas may contain at least 10 (e.g., at least 15, at least 20, at least 25, at least 30, at least 35, at least 40, at least 45, or at least 50) VOCs that are not found in a single reference alcoholic beverage. Moreover, some alcoholic beverage replicas may contain no more than 50 (e.g., no more than 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, or 10) VOCs that are present in a single reference alcoholic beverage. For example, in some embodiments, an alcoholic beverage replica can have at least n additional VOCs and wherein less than n (e.g., n−1, n−2, n−3, n−4, n−5, n−6, n−7, n−8, n−9, n−10, n−15, n−20, and the like, as applicable) of the additional VOCs are found in a single reference alcoholic beverage; in some embodiments, n can be equal to 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or 85.
As noted above, the amounts of VOCs in reference alcoholic beverages are measured using the GC-MS methods described herein. In some embodiments, the amount of a particular VOC in an alcoholic beverage replica can be an amount, based on concentration or percent composition, that is within a range 30% higher and lower than a measured amount for that VOC in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage. For example, a VOC can be present in an alcoholic beverage replica in an amount that is 70 to 90%, 80 to 100%, 90 to 110%, 100 to 120%, 110 to 130%, 70 to 100%, 80 to 110%, 90 to 120%, or 100 to 130% of an amount measured for that VOC in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage.
In some cases, the total amount of VOCs in an alcoholic beverage replica can be less than the total amount of VOCs in a reference alcoholic beverage. For example, an alcoholic beverage replica can have a total VOC content (in mg/L) that is less than 95% (e.g., less than 90%, 85%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% or 40%) of the total VOC content (in mg/L) of a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage.
In some cases, the total amount of VOCs in an alcoholic beverage replica can be less than the total amount of VOCs in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage. Further, the amount of any particular VOC in an alcoholic beverage replica may be different than the amount of that VOC in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage. In some cases, the amount of a VOC in an alcoholic beverage replica can be 75% or less (e.g., 70% or less, 60% or less, 50% or less, 40% or less, 30% or less, 20% or less, or 10% or less), by concentration or percent mass, than the amount of the same VOC in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage. In some cases, the amount of a VOC in an alcoholic beverage replica can be 125% or more (e.g., 150% or more, 200% or more, or 300% or more), by concentration or percent mass, than the amount of the same VOC in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage.
It will be understood that when both a range (or subrange) and an “at least” or “less than” amount (or percent by mass) are disclosed, these together disclose all ranges that exist in the overlap of the range (or subrange) and one of the “at least” or “less than” values in any combination. By way of example only, (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 0.0002 mg/L to about 2 mg/L and the one or more additional VOCs can include (−)alpha-pinene in an amount of at least about 0.0024 mg/L. Therefore, (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 0.0024 mg/L to about 2 mg/L (e.g., about 0.0024 to about to about 0.005 mg/L, about 0.005 to about 0.01 mg/L, about 0.01 to about 0.05 mg/L, about 0.05 to about 0.1 mg/L, about 0.1 to about 0.5 mg/L, about 0.5 to about 1 mg/L, or about 1 to about 2 mg/L); (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 0.005 mg/L to about 2 mg/L (e.g., about 0.005 to about 0.01 mg/L, about 0.01 to about 0.05 mg/L, about 0.05 to about 0.1 mg/L, about 0.1 to about 0.5 mg/L, about 0.5 to about 1 mg/L, or about 1 to about 2 mg/L); (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 0.01 mg/L to about 2 mg/L (e.g., about 0.01 to about 0.05 mg/L, about 0.05 to about 0.1 mg/L, about 0.1 to about 0.5 mg/L, about 0.5 to about 1 mg/L, or about 1 to about 2 mg/L); (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 0.05 mg/L to about 2 mg/L (e.g., about 0.05 to about 0.1 mg/L, about 0.1 to about 0.5 mg/L, about 0.5 to about 1 mg/L, or about 1 to about 2 mg/L); (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 0.1 mg/L to about 2 mg/L (e.g., about 0.1 to about 0.5 mg/L, about 0.5 to about 1 mg/L, or about 1 to about 2 mg/L); (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 0.5 mg/L to about 2 mg/L (e.g., about 0.5 to about 1 mg/L, or about 1 to about 2 mg/L); or (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 1 mg/L to about 2 mg/L.
Further, it will be understood that if both a range and an “at least” or “less than” value are described for an alcoholic beverage replica, the interpretation will be the largest overlap of those descriptions. For example, if an alcoholic beverage replica is described with both “(−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 0.0002 mg/L to about 2 mg/L” and “the one or more additional VOCs include (−)alpha-pinene in an amount of at least about 0.0024 mg/L”, the interpretation shall be that (−)alpha-pinene is present in an amount of about 0.0024 mg/L to about 2 mg/L.
The one or more additional VOCs in an alcoholic beverage replica can include (−) alpha-pinene (also called a-pinene, alpha-pinene, or alpha pinene). In some embodiments, the (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of about 0.0002 mg/L to about 2 mg/L (e.g., about 0002 to about 0.0005 mg/L, about 0.0005 to about 0.001 mg/L, about 0.001 to about 0.005 mg/L, about 0.005 to about 0.01 mg/L, about 0.01 to about 0.05 mg/L, about 0.05 to about 0.1 mg/L, about 0.1 to about 0.5 mg/L, about 0.5 to about 1 mg/L, or about 1 to about 2 mg/L). In some embodiments, the (−)alpha-pinene can be present in an amount of at least about 0.0024 mg/L (e.g., at least about 0.005 mg/L, at least about 0.01 mg/L, at least about 0.05 mg/L, at least about 0.1 mg/L, at least about 0.5 mg/L, or at least about 1 mg/L).

Again, non-volatile compounds can be detected in traditional alcoholic beverages using any suitable method, including the LC-MS method described in Example 1 herein. A non-volatile compound that is “not present” in a reference alcoholic beverage is one that is not detected in the reference alcoholic beverage using the methods set forth in Example 1. Limits of detection for various non-volatile compounds are disclosed in TABLES 9A and 9B herein.
An alcoholic beverage replica can include any appropriate number of non-volatile compounds. For example, an alcoholic beverage replica can include 1 to 100 (e.g., at least 5, at least 10, at least 20, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50, 1 to 90, 1 to 80, 1 to 70, 1 to 60, 1 to 50, 1 to 40, 1 to 30, 1 to 20, 1 to 10, 1 to 5, 5 to 100, 5 to 90, 5 to 80, 5 to 70, 5 to 60, 5 to 40, 5 to 30, 5 to 20, 5 to 10, 10 to 100, 10 to 90, 10 to 90, 10 to 70, 10 to 60, 10 to 50, 10 to 40, 10 to 30, 10 to 20, 20 to 100, 20 to 90, 20 to 80, 20 to 70, 20 to 60, 20 to 50, 20 to 40, 20 to 30, 30 to 100, 30 to 90, 30 to 80, 30 to 70, 30 to 60, 30 to 50, 30 to 40, 40 to 100, 40 to 90, 40 to 80, 40 to 70, 40 to 60, 40 to 50, 50 to 100, 50 to 90, 50 to 80, 50 to 70, or 50 to 60) non-volatile compounds. In some cases, the number of non-volatile compounds in an alcoholic beverage replica can be less than the number of non-volatile compounds in a single corresponding reference alcoholic beverage.
Further, in some embodiments, the alcoholic beverage replicas provided herein can lack one or more (e.g., one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more than ten) non-volatile compounds that are present in corresponding traditional alcoholic beverages. In some cases, the overall population of non-volatile compounds in an alcoholic beverage replica can have less than 95% identity to the non-volatile compounds in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage (e.g., in a single type of traditionally made alcoholic beverage corresponding to the replica). For example, the non-volatile compounds in an alcoholic beverage replica can have less than 90%, less than 80%, less than 70%, less than 60%, less than 50%, or less than 40% identity to the population of non-volatile compounds in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage. Some alcoholic beverage replicas may contain at least 10 (e.g., at least 15, at least 20, at least 25, or at least 30) non-volatile compounds that are not found in a single reference alcoholic beverage. Moreover, some alcoholic beverage replicas may contain no more than 50 (e.g., no more than 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, or 10) non-volatile compounds that are present in a single reference alcoholic beverage. For example, in some embodiments, an alcoholic beverage replica can have at least m non-volatile compounds and less than m (e.g., m−1, m−2, m−3, m−4, m−5, m−6, m−7, m−8, m−9, m−10, m−15, m−20, and the like, as applicable) of the non-volatile compounds are found in a single reference alcoholic beverage; in some embodiments, m can be equal to 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60.
As noted above, the amounts of non-volatile compounds in reference alcoholic beverages are measured using the LC-MS methods described herein. In some embodiments, the amount of a particular non-volatile compound in an alcoholic beverage replica can be an amount, based on concentration or percent composition, that is within a range 30% higher and lower than a measured amount for that non-volatile compound in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage. For example, a non-volatile compound can be present in an alcoholic beverage replica in an amount that is 70 to 90%, 80 to 100%, 90 to 110%, 100 to 120%, 110 to 130%, 70 to 100%, 80 to 110%, 90 to 120%, or 100 to 130% of an amount measured for that non-volatile compound in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage.
In some cases, the amount of any particular non-volatile compound in an alcoholic beverage replica may be different than the amount of that non-volatile compound in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage. In some cases, the amount of a non-volatile compound in an alcoholic beverage replica can be 75% or less (e.g., 70% or less, 60% or less, 50% or less, 40% or less, 30% or less, 20% or less, or 10% or less), by concentration or percent mass, than the amount of the same non-volatile compound in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage. In some cases, the amount of a non-volatile compound in an alcoholic beverage replica can be 125% or more (e.g., 150% or more, 200% or more, or 300% or more), by concentration or percent mass, than the amount of the same non-volatile compound in a corresponding reference alcoholic beverage.

This document also provides methods for making alcoholic beverage replicas. Any of the alcoholic beverage replicas described herein can be made by methods as disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the methods provided herein can be carried out by first mixing one or more organic acids with water, adding ethanol and non-volatile ingredients, and then adding small quantities of diluted VOCs. In general, water, ethanol, organic acids, VOCs, amino acids, and certain texture and flavor modifying ingredients are all necessary to generate a final product having the characteristics of a traditionally-produced alcoholic beverage.
In some embodiments, the methods provided herein can include combining water one or more acids, one or more sugars or sugar alcohols, a base, one or more nucleotide monophosphates, one or more amino acids, ethanol, and ten or more additional VOCs. In some embodiments, the methods also can include adding a coloring agent (e.g., carotene and/or caramel), a surfactant, gum arabic, pectin, or any combination thereof.
This document also provides methods for generating concentrated versions of any alcoholic beverage replica, where the concentrated versions include all of the additional VOCs and non-volatile components of the final product, but without the bulk of the ethanol and water. Such concentrates can be manufactured and then shipped to a second location, where water and ethanol can be added at the appropriate ABV and volume to create a finished product.
Any suitable concentration of additional VOCs and non-volatile compounds can be used. For example, a concentrated alcoholic beverage replica can include additional VOCs and non-volatile components in a concentration of at least 1.1-fold (e.g., 1.2-fold, 1.3-fold, 1.5-fold, 1.6-fold, 1.7-fold, 1.8-fold, 1.9-fold, 2-fold, 3-fold, 5-fold, 8-fold, 10-fold, 15-fold, or 20-fold concentrations, as compared to their concentrations in the final product, such that they can be diluted by at least about 1.1-fold (e.g., 1.2-fold, 1.3-fold, 1.5-fold, 1.6-fold, 1.7-fold, 1.8-fold, 1.9-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, 8-fold, 10-fold, 15-fold, or 20-fold), respectively, with water and ethanol to yield the final product. The concentrates provided herein can contain all of the formulaic flavor, acid, and other components (as well as any grain neutral spirits) that are present in the final product. In general, such concentrates can be prepared in much the same way as a non-concentrated alcoholic beverage replica, by combining the desired amounts of additional VOCs and non-volatile components but omitting the water and the bulk of the ethanol. It is noted that in some cases, some amount of ethanol can be included in the concentrate in order to facilitate dissolution of the additional VOCs and non-volatile compounds.
Any of the alcoholic beverage replicas described herein can be made as a concentrate, e.g., using the methods disclosed herein. It will be appreciated that the amount of any component (e.g., additional VOC or non-volatile) disclosed herein as an amount for an alcoholic beverage replica (e.g., a 1× alcoholic beverage replica) can be multiplied by the concentration factor (e.g., 1.1-fold, 1.2-fold, 1.3-fold, 1.5-fold, 1.6-fold, 1.7-fold, 1.8-fold, 1.9-fold 2-fold, 3-fold, 5-fold, 8-fold, 10-fold, 15-fold, or 20-fold) for the appropriate concentrated amount.

The invention will be further described in the following examples, which do not limit the scope of the invention described in the claims.
GC-MS/MS was used to assess the amounts of various VOCs in several traditional Moscato wines and whiskeys.
GC-MS/MS Conditions:
All analyses were performed using an Agilent 7890B GC interfaced with a 7000D Triple Quadrupole mass spectrometer, and equipped with a PAL RSI 85 autosampler with HS-SPME attachment. For Headspace (HS) Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) experiments, the SPME fiber was a 1 cm, 50/30 μm DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber (Supelco; Bellefonte, Pa.). HS-SPME autosampler conditions were as follows: pre-incubation time of 5 minutes, incubation temperature of 60° C., extraction time of 15 minutes, and desorption time 2 minutes. Post-desorption fiber conditioning time was 30 minutes. For liquid injection experiments, the injection volume was 0.5 μL. Both liquid and SPME injections had a split ratio of 1:20, with a desorption temperature of 250° C. The column was a 30 m×0.25 mm×0.25 Agilent HP-5 ms or DB-WAX (ultra inert). Helium was used as the carrier gas at a constant flow rate of 1 mL/min. The MS ion source temperature and interface temperature were 250° C. The temperature program was as follows: initial temperature 40° C., held for 5 minutes, then increased to 180° C. at a rate of 4° C./min, and then increased to 240° C. at a rate of 45° C./min, and held for 10 minutes, for a total run time of 52 minutes.
Selection of Target Compounds and MRM Method Development:
An outline of the general workflow for GC-MS analyses is as follows. Real samples were first analyzed by HS-SPME-GC/MS in full scan mode (m/z 40-200) to identify potential target compounds. Collected data were analyzed manually using Agilent MassHunter Qualitative Analysis Version B.07.00, or using Agilent MassHunter Unknowns Analysis Version B.08.00. Additional compounds may have been targeted based on literature research. Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) optimization was performed for commercially available standards. First, full scan experiments were repeated with liquid injection (5 mg/L in pure EtOH) to verify retention time and potential precursor ions. Product ion scans were performed using liquid injection and varying collision energies across a range of 5-35 V. Optimized MRM transitions and collision energies were selected, and are displayed in TABLES 1A, 1B, and 1D. A dynamic MRM (dMRM) method was developed for the generation of calibration curves, as described below. Compounds were divided into two methods (A and B, TABLES 1A and 1B respectively) to minimize simultaneous transitions (no greater than 6).
Preparation of Calibration Curves:
All calibration solutions were prepared as 10 mL of 10% EtOH in milliQ water in 20-mL amber vials, with 3 g of salt added to enhance volatility. This concentration of EtOH minimized swelling of the SPME fiber to maximize signal despite the dilution factor. The concentration range was varied by compound, based on the expected range in real samples.
Quantification in Real Samples:
All samples (reference samples and replica samples) were prepared as 10 mL in 20-mL amber vials with 3 g of salt, and were diluted in milliQ water to achieve a final concentration of 10% EtOH. Concentrations were later corrected to account for the dilution factor of the sample. All data were collected in triplicate, and were analyzed using Agilent Quantitative Analysis (for QQQ). Values reported as not detected (ND or NF, zero) may be considered to be below the limits of detection (LODs) listed in TABLES 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D. LODs were approximated based on S/N ratios as generated by the MassHunter software.
Various reference alcoholic beverage samples were assayed by GC-MS, and the levels of VOCs therein are shown in TABLES 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 3C, 17A, 17B, 17C, 17D, 17E, and 17F.
124 → 95.81
LC-MS was used to measure the levels of various non-volatile compounds in several reference Moscato and whiskey samples, according to the following method.
All analyses were performed on a Thermo Ultimate 3000 Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (UPLC) coupled with a Thermo Scientific Q-Exactive high resolution mass spectrometer (MS). XCalibur software was used for data acquisition, and the mass spectrometer instrument parameters were as follows for all methods:
Polarity: positive or negative mode, as indicated for each method
Resolution: 70,000
Scan range: 60-900 m/z for all methods with the exception of the lipid method, which is 134-2000 m/z
Isolation window: 1.5 m/z
MS/MS collision energy: 30
Preparation of Analytical Standards:
Stock solutions at a concentration of 1 mg/mL were made for each compound in 50% methanol. Serial dilutions were then made of each compound to create a 7-point standard curve, ranging from 10 ng/mL to 20 μg/mL. Standard curves were run in combinations of 7-12 compounds from each category per set, so long as there were no overlaps in retention time, which would have hindered quantitation.
Retention times were pre-determined for each compound by running the analytical standard at a 20 μg/mL dilution, and identifying the compound based on its accurate mass.
In all cases, five μL of each standard mix was injected through the autosampler and LC to the MS. Separation took place on a chromatographic column that was specific to each class of compounds. The conditions for each chromatographic method are described below, including the column, mobile phase and gradient used for each method.
Several types of columns were used for the different classes of compounds, as indicated in TABLE 4.
Quantitation of Amino Acids and Similar Polar Compounds:
A HILIC (hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography) column was used to assess polar compounds that can retain a positive charge. The mobile phase used with this column included A: H2O+5 mM Ammonium Acetate+0.1% TFA (trifluoroacetic acid), and B: 90/10 ACN (Acetonitrile)/H2O+5 mM Ammonium Acetate+0.1% TFA. Each chromatographic run was 27.5 minutes long, and the column temperature was maintained at 40° C. The column used was a Phenomenex Luna, 3 μm NH2, 100 Å, 150×2 mm (Product #00F-4377-BO), and the guard column was a Phenomenex Security Guard Cartridges, NH2, 4×2 mm (#PRD-196870).
Quantitation of Sugars and Sugar Alcohols:
The same HILIC column used for quantitation of the amino acids was used for quantitation of sugars, but the polarity of the MS was run in negative mode. While the same mobile phases were used, the gradient was slightly modified to help with retention. The temperature of the column also was held at 50° C. for better peak shape and separation of the isobaric sugars.
Quantitation of Non-Polar Compounds:
A C18 column was used to assess non-polar compounds, as they are retained in the long carbon chains under polar conditions. This method was run in both positive and negative modes, depending on each compound and whether it ionizes better with a positive or negative charge, respectively. The mobile phases used for this method were A: H2O+0.1% FA, and B: Methanol, and the temperature of the column was held at 50° C. The column used was an Agilent Poroshell 120, EC-C18 2.7 μm, 3.0×100 mm (Product #695975-302).
Quantitation of Organic Acids and Similarly Charged Polar Compounds:
To look at organic acids, a charged C18 column was used. The gradient used for the organic method was the same as for the C18 non-polar methods, as shown in TABLE 8. There was a modification to mobile phase B for this method, in that B: ACN+0.1% FA. The column used was a Phenomenex Luna Omega, 1.6 μm, PS C18 100 Å, 100×2.1 mm (Product #00D-4752-AN).
Quantitation of Lipids:
As lipids are very hydrophobic, they require stronger organic solvents in order to elute from any chromatographic column. The C18 column discussed above (Agilent Poroshell) was used to quantitate lipids, but the mobile phases that were used had a higher concentration of organic solvents. Samples were run in both positive and negative ionization modes, but the positive mode was used for quantitation of the two lipid standards. Mobile phase A: 60/40 H2O/ACN+5 mM Ammonium Acetate+0.1% FA, and B: 90/10 IPA/ACN+5 mM Ammonium Acetate+0.1% FA. The column temperature was held at 50° C.
Data Analysis:
Data analysis methods were developed with the XCalibur Processing Setup program, where methods were made for each standard cassette for each LC method. The compound mass and retention time was added for each standard, and calibration levels were applied for each standard. To calculate concentrations in samples, the samples and standards for each run were processed together using XCalibur Quan software, and concentrations calculated based on the respective compound calibration curve. Limits of detection were determined for each standard by running each standard curve at low levels until nothing was detected.
The LODs for non-volatile standard compounds are shown in TABLES 9A and 9B.
The levels of the non-volatile compounds measured in some reference samples are shown in TABLES 10A and 10B.
The average levels of the non-volatile compounds measured some reference alcoholic beverage samples are shown in TABLE 11.
Levels of the non-volatile compounds measured some reference alcoholic beverages are shown in TABLES 18A, 18B, and 18C.
A Moscato replica was prepared from individual components. The ingredients included the VOCs listed in TABLE 12A and the non-volatile compounds and ethanol (e.g., 75.5% ethanol) as listed in TABLE 12B. Additional non-volatile formulations are listed in TABLE 13.
1) A 1 L beaker was filled to about 700 mL with room temperature tap water. Tartaric, malic, succinic, and citric acids were added and dissolved completely with stirring. The mixture was transferred to a 1 L graduated cylinder, which was then filled to 1 L with tap water. The solution was then deposited into a 10 L carboy.
2) The 1 L beaker was filled to about 700 mL with tap water, and sorbitol, inositol, mannose, and mannitol were added and allowed to dissolve completely with stirring. The solution was transferred to the 1 L graduated cylinder, brought to 1 L with tap water, and deposited into the 10 L carboy.
3) The 1 L beaker was filled to about 400 mL with tap water. Glycerol was measured via a weigh boat; glycerol residue was washed from the weigh boat into the beaker using 100 mL 5% acetic acid. The lactic acid, 5′R, and MSG solutions were added to the beaker, followed by the amino acids. (Solutions of 1 g/50 mL were prepared ahead of time for those compounds requiring less than 10 mg, for convenience.) Water was added to the beaker to bring the volume to about 900 mL to aid in dissolution. Once the solution was homogeneous, it was transferred to the 1 L graduated cylinder, brought to 1 L with tap water, and deposited into the 10 L carboy.
4) Half of the glucose was weighed and dissolved in about 700 mL water in the 1 L beaker. Once it was dissolved, it was transferred to the graduated cylinder, brought to 1 L with tap water, and added to the carboy. This step was repeated with the other half of the glucose.
5) One third of the fructose was weighed out and dissolved in about 700 mL water in the 1 L beaker. Once the fructose was dissolved completely, it was transferred to the graduated cylinder, brought to 1 L with tap water, and transferred to the carboy. This step was repeated twice. In the first repetition, the Carotene color was added, and in the second repetition, the Caramel color was added.
6) The 1 L beaker was filled with about 800 mL water. The KOH was quickly weighed out and added to the 1 L beaker (KOH reacts with air if left out longer than a minute or two). The KOH was completely dissolved, and the solution was transferred to the graduated cylinder, brought to 1 L with tap water, and added to the carboy. The overall solution was mixed well.
7) The ethanol and then the VOCs were added to the graduated cylinder, according to the amounts shown in TABLE 12A. The cylinder was filled to 1 L with tap water and the solution was added to the carboy. After thorough mixing, the solution was refrigerated for several hours.
Alternatively, amounts of non-volatile compounds and ethanol as in TABLE 12B can be used, following the same procedure Carbonation:
1) 1 L of the Moscato base preparation was transferred from the carboy to a separate container and stored for later.
2) The remaining 9 L of Moscato base was transferred to a 2.5 gal Cornelius Keg (also referred to as a “kegerator;” obtained from AEB Kegs, Italy).
3) The kegerator was sealed with a carbonating stone placed inside. A CO2 line was attached to the central valve on the lid of the kegerator (not to the valves to labelled ‘IN’ or ‘OUT’).
4) The gas (beverage grade CO2) was set to 45-50 psi.
5) Once the gas line was attached, carbonation was allowed to proceed overnight or for at least 8 hours in a refrigerator (at about 3-5° C.).
1) A dispensing apparatus was assembled. The apparatus consisted of a rubber stopper fit to the bottles, pierced by a dispensing tube of a length to extend almost to the bottom of the bottles when the stopper was firmly inserted. The dispensing apparatus also had a valved line connected to a CO2 supply, and another valved line connected to the kegerator. The gas line had an adjustable pressure release valve and a pressure gauge rated to at least 60 psi.
2) The dispensing tube was inserted into a clean 750 mL bottle, forming a tight seal with the stopper.
3) After ensuring that the line connecting to the keg was closed, it was attached to the kegerator's ‘OUT’ valve.
4) The gas line was opened and the release valve was adjusted to pressurize the bottle to about 40 psi. The gas line was then closed.
5) The kegerator line was opened to begin filling the bottle. Gas escaped as the Moscato entered the bottle. The release valve was adjusted to maintain a pressure of about 37 psi while filling.
6) The kegerator line was closed about 2-3 inches below the bottom of the rubber stopper.
7) Using the pressure release valve, the bottle was slowly depressurized, as bubbles will rapidly leave the solution and flood the release valve if the pressure is relieved too quickly.
8) The rubber stopper was removed and 30 uL surfactant was added to the bottle.
9) The bottle was corked and inverted to mix in the surfactant.
10) The Moscato was refrigerated until needed.
The Moscato generated by the above method was an ode to those found in the northwestern Italian appellation of Moscato d'Asti. Like its Italian counterparts, the pale yellow-colored wine had a bit of froth upon pour, displaying notes of lychee, banana, peach, and flowers. The wine's gentle mousse on the palate opened up with sweetness but with bright acidity to balance it out, and with flavors that last. The alcohol was relatively low, matching the development method of Moscato d'Asti—arrested fermentation meant that sugar remained in the Moscato replica, and carbon dioxide derived from fermentation was captured in the bottles.
It is noted that the above process, and similar processes using variations of the VOC and non-volatile ingredient lists, can be scaled up for commercial production of a Moscato-like alcoholic beverage. Such scaled up processes (e.g., to generate 1000 L or more) can utilize tanks or vats for carbonation.

A 10 L batch of whiskey replica was prepared from individual components. The ingredients included:
To prepare oak extract, America Oak chips were ground in a coffee grinder, and 35 g of ground chips was placed into each of two 1 L Erlenmeyer flasks. To each flask, 1 L 40% EtOH solution (530 mL ethanol, 470 mL tap water) was added. The flasks were covered with PARAFILM®, swirled vigorously, and stored in the dark for 24 hours. The extracted oak was vacuum filtered; the filtrate was saved and the remaining wood chips were discarded. The filtrate was divided into 40 Falcon tubes (˜47 mL each), which were centrifuged for 5 minutes at 5000 rpm.
To prepare Tannin solution, 0.8 g Tannin tannin powder was added to 50 mL water in a Falcon tube, and mixed by vortexing. This was repeated nine times to yield 10 tubes of Tannin solution. Each tube was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes and decanted twice, saving the liquid portion both times.
To prepare the whiskey replica, about 500 mL water was placed in a beaker with a stir bar on a stir plate. All dry chemicals were weighed out and added to the water in the beaker. 240 mL ethanol was added to the beaker, followed by the malic acid, succinic acid, and lactic acid. Once the mixture was uniform, it was poured into a 2 L graduated cylinder (without the stir bar). All (500 mL) of the prepared Tannin solution was added to the cylinder, which was then filled to 2 L with water. The contents of cylinder were poured into a 10 L carboy. Oak extract from all 40 tubes was added into the 2 L cylinder, and water was added to 2 L. The diluted oak extract was added to the carboy. The remaining ethanol (4 L) was then added to the carboy using the 2 L cylinder. Finally, the VOCs and remaining ethanol (500 mL) were added to the cylinder, which was topped up to 2 L with water and added to the carboy. The whiskey was carefully but vigorously shaken to mix the contents.
The whiskey replica had a final ABV of 43%, and was identical to whiskey crafted by traditional methods in terms of color; like many whiskeys, it had an amber color with characteristic “tears” on the sides of the glass upon swirling, and the mouthfeel (viscosity) was comparable to that of traditional whiskey. Much like traditionally-made whiskey, the whiskey replica had peaty, grain-like, fruity, floral, and woody aromas. In particular, the whiskey replica had a grain-like character on the nose, dominated with sweet wood-like aromas including vanilla and baking spices, along with aromas reminiscent of ripe apple, caramel, and very light hints of smoke. The taste characteristics of the whiskey replica, including sweetness, alcoholic perception, flavors, and finish or length also were analogous to those of traditionally-made whiskeys. In particular, on the palate, the whiskey replica had a creamy body with some spicy heat and an echo of the flavors found on the nose.
It is noted that the above process, and similar processes using variations of the VOC and non-volatile ingredient lists, can be scaled up for commercial production of a whiskey-like alcoholic beverage. Such scaled up processes (e.g., to generate 1000 L or more) can utilize tanks or vats.
It also is noted that in some cases, a portion of the water that is included in a whiskey replica can be replaced with a neutral spirit such as, without limitation, corn whiskey. When such a substitution is made, the neutral spirit is added such that the ethanol provided by the neutral spirit is not less than 5%, on a proof gallon basis, of the total amount of ethanol in the whiskey replica. For example, 10 L of a whiskey replica containing 3.1 L ethanol (192 proof), 0.38 L of corn whiskey (135 proof) and 1.8 L of oak extract (151 proof) contains 6.4% alcohol, on a proof gallon basis, from the corn whiskey, which is 2.6% ABV.
As an example, a 1000 L batch of whiskey replica was prepared from individual components, including:
First, 1000 L of a 5× wood-tannin solution was prepared by placing 35000 g of American Oak Wood chips and 4000 g of Tannin Powder in a filter bag, and submerging in a mixture of 570 L ethanol (151 proof) and 430 L filtered water. The mixture was recirculated for 18-24 hours, and then filtered through a 1 micron filter pad. Malic acid (22 g), tartaric acid (340 g), lactic acid (59 g), citric acid (85 g), D-glucuronic acid (58 g), succinic acid (14 g), and cinnamic acid (10 g) were added to the mixture, which was then recirculated until all ingredients were dissolved (about 5 minutes).
Separately, 310 L of ethanol (192 proof), 38 L of corn whiskey, and 420 L of filtered water were added to a mixing tank and recirculated for 10-15 minutes. Fructose (23 g), glucose (45 kg), glycerol (8000 g), and gum arabic (1.0 g) were added to the mixture, which was then recirculated until all ingredients were dissolved (about 15-20 minutes). The VOCs (3-5 L total) and 200 L of the wood-tannin solution were added to the mixture and recirculated for 30 minutes. The mixture was pad filtered (0.5 micron filter) and held until bottling.
It is noted that while whiskey replicas can include volatile compounds as listed in TABLE 14, the added compounds may react with one another to generate additional compounds, or to change the effective amount of one or more of the added compounds within the whiskey replica formulation.
Whiskey replica concentrates were made in ˜100 L test batches and held for a minimum of 8 weeks, with periodic sampling at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. Density measurements were taken each week, and three replicate bottles of whiskey replica were produced by adding 43% ABV spirit whiskey prior to filtering through a 0.45 PVDF vacuum filter. Samples were then submitted for analytical testing versus a corresponding non-concentrated whiskey replica, and versus each other, to assess volatile and non-volatile components. Organoleptic comparisons also were conducted. The concentrates were held in HDPE vessels, or in stainless steel at the highest concentration, to ensure that there were no changes in composition due to the storage material.
To generate a 5× whiskey replica concentrate, the following ingredients below were added to 140 L of 43% ABV grain neutral spirits. This was an effective 700 L batch, but due to loss during decanting and filtering, excess was needed.
The ingredients were stirred in and held for 24 hours. The liquid was then decanted and held for 24 hours to allow larger particulates to settle. This liquid was then filtered through a 5 micron absolute polypropylene cartridge filter prior to being dosed to 100 L in an HDPE open top drum that had been pre-measured to 100 L.
The following ingredients, as well as the VOCs for a 500 L (5×100 L) batch of one of Formulation 1-5 (above) were added to the drum and stirred thoroughly.
To generate a 10× whiskey replica concentrate, the following ingredients below were added to 140 L of 43% ABV grain neutral spirits. Again, this was an effective 700 L batch, but due to loss during decanting and filtering, excess was needed.
The ingredients were stirred in and held for 24 hours. The liquid was then decanted and held for 24 hours to allow larger particulates to settle. This liquid was then filtered through a 5 micron absolute polypropylene cartridge filter prior to being dosed to 100 L in an HDPE open top drum that had been pre-measured to 100 L.
The following ingredients, as well as the VOCs for a 1000 L batch (10×100 L) of one of Formulations 1-5 (above) were added to the drum and stirred thoroughly.
To generate a 20× whiskey replica concentrate, the following ingredients below were added to 350 L of 43% ABV grain neutral spirits. Again, this was an effective 700 L batch, but due to loss during decanting and filtering, excess was needed.
The ingredients were stirred in and held for 24 hours. The liquid was then decanted and held for 24 hours to allow larger particulates to settle. This liquid was then filtered through a 5 micron absolute polypropylene cartridge filter prior to being dosed to 100 L in an HDPE open top drum that had been pre-measured to 100 L.
The following ingredients, as well as the VOCs for a 2000 L batch (20×100 L) of one of Formulations 1-5 (above) were added to the drum and stirred thoroughly.
To find the appropriate volume of concentrate (5×, 10×, or 20×) to add to create a finished product, the following formulas were used:
Cfinal product=concentration of final product=1 (i.e., 1×)
Vfinal product=desired volume of finished product
Cconcentrate=concentration of the concentrate (5×, 10×, or 20×)
Vconcentrate=volume of concentrate to add to create finished product
A Moscato replica was made as in Example 2 (non-volatiles were from Subrange D in Table 13) and the VOCs and non-volatiles were measured as set forth in Example 1. The measured volatiles are listed in TABLE 15, and the measured non-volatile compounds are listed in TABLE 16.
