[HTML][HTML] Wine and grape tannin interactions with salivary proteins and their impact on astringency: a review of current research

JM McRae, JA Kennedy - Molecules, 2011 - mdpi.com
Astringency is an important characteristic of red wine quality. The sensation is generally
thought to be produced by the interaction of wine tannins with salivary proteins and the …

Wine protein haze: Mechanisms of formation and advances in prevention

SC Van Sluyter, JM McRae, RJ Falconer… - Journal of agricultural …, 2015 - ACS Publications
Protein haze is an aesthetic problem in white wines that can be prevented by removing the
grape proteins that have survived the winemaking process. The haze-forming proteins are …

Thermodynamics of grape and wine tannin interaction with polyproline: Implications for red wine astringency

JM McRae, RJ Falconer… - Journal of agricultural and …, 2010 - ACS Publications
The astringency of red wine is largely due to the interaction between wine tannins and
salivary proline-rich proteins and is known to change as wine ages. To further understand the …

Sensory properties of wine tannin fractions: Implications for in-mouth sensory properties

JM McRae, A Schulkin, S Kassara… - Journal of agricultural …, 2013 - ACS Publications
Different molecular structures of grape tannins have been shown to influence astringency,
however, the in-mouth sensory effects of different molecular structures in red wine tannins …

Phenolic compositions of 50 and 30 year sequences of Australian red wines: The impact of wine age

JM McRae, RG Dambergs, S Kassara… - Journal of Agricultural …, 2012 - ACS Publications
The phenolic composition of red wine impacts upon the color and mouthfeel and thus quality
of the wine. Both of these characteristics differ depending on the age of a wine, with the …

The chemical composition (protein, polysaccharide, amino acid, and fatty acid/ethyl ester
content), foaming properties, and quality of 50 Australian sparkling white wines, representing …

Ethanol Concentration Influences the Mechanisms of Wine Tannin Interactions with Poly(l-proline) in Model Wine

JM McRae, ZM Ziora, S Kassara… - Journal of Agricultural …, 2015 - ACS Publications
Changes in ethanol concentration influence red wine astringency, and yet the effect of ethanol
on wine tannin–salivary protein interactions is not well understood. Isothermal titration …

[HTML][HTML] Valonea tannin: Tyrosinase inhibition activity, structural elucidation and insights into the inhibition mechanism

J Liu, Y Liu, X He, B Teng, JM McRae - Molecules, 2021 - mdpi.com
Valonea tannin is a natural product readily extracted from acorn shells that has been
suggested to have potential skin whitening properties. This study investigated the tyrosinase …

JM McRae, MP Day, KA Bindon, S Kassara… - Tetrahedron, 2015 - Elsevier
Shiraz ferments were injected with different levels of oxygen (20% and 40% O 2 as gas
mixtures) to assess the impact of early oxygen exposure on wine tannins and colour measures …

Use of grape seeds to reduce haze formation in white wines

…, JM McRae, E Bilogrevic, D Colangelo, M Gabrielli… - Food Chemistry, 2021 - Elsevier
Grape pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins in white wine can induce haze and hinder the sale
