Zhao, Xiao-yue;Xu, Huai-de;Yang, Rong-xiang published 《Optimization of fermentation conditions of green tea wine and changes in its main components during fermentation》. The research results were published in《Shipin Kexue (Beijing, China)》 in 2014.Name: 3,7-Dimethyloctan-3-ol The article conveys some information:
The fermentation process of green tea wine was optimized, and the changes in polyphenols, catechins and aroma components during fermentation were investiated. Orthogonal array experiments were used to optimize the fermentation process. The changes in catechins and aroma components were determined by high performance liquid chromatog. (HPLC) and gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The optimal fermentation parameters were determined as follows: 4 g/L green tea infusion with 20% glucose and 50 g/L honey added, 5 g/L wine yeast inoculum size, and fermentation at 28°C for 10 days. The contents of six catechins were increased during fermentation Specifically, the contents of (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-gallocatechin gallate (GCG), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epicatechin (EC) were slightly increased; however, the contents of catechin (C) and epigallocatechin-3-gallate catechin (EGCGC) were increased by 10.88 and 17.33-folds, resp. These results indicate that the increase of catechins plays an important role in the health-promoting function of green tea wine. There were 87, 88 and 94 aroma components in the wine at the initial and the last stages of fermentation and the aged wine, which accounted for 92.93%, 98.26% and 91.87% of the total volatile components, resp. The significant differences in the types and amounts of aroma components indicate the transition from the tea flavor to the wine aroma components. Green tea can be fermented into wine; the health-promoting components (catechins) of green tea are increased to different extents and the green tea wine is mellow. To complete the study, the researchers used 3,7-Dimethyloctan-3-ol (cas: 78-69-3) .
3,7-Dimethyloctan-3-ol(cas:78-69-3) is a fatty alcohol that is 3-octanol substituted by methyl groups at positions 3 and 7.Name: 3,7-Dimethyloctan-3-ol Metabolite observed in cancer metabolism. It has a role as a human metabolite.
