Comprehensive study of chemical and sensory profiles of hawthorn wines from China.

ABSTRACT: Hawthorn wine has gained increasing popularity in China, but comprehensive research on its sensory and chemical characteristics is still limited. This study established a sensory lexicon using Pivot Profile to describe and differentiate Chinese hawthorn wines. Based on the sensory data, 13 hawthorn wines presented three different styles, namely 'Sweet', 'Fruity' and 'Alcohol'. A total of 129 volatile compounds were identified and quantified in all hawthorn wines using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with both gas chromatography-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (GC-Orbitrap-MS) and gas chromatography-Quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-Quadrupole-MS). Partial least-squares regression revealed that 'sweet', 'hawthorn', and 'honey' attributes were positively correlated with se
