Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify and quantify terpenic compounds in musts from the Eastern region of Romania, Moldavia. Musts obtained for three consecutive years from four grape varieties, namely: Busuioaca de Bohotin, Feteasca neagra, Muscat Ottonel and Pinot gris were analyzed. The grapes were harvested from four wine centers from Bohotin, Cotesti, Cotnari and Husi. The monitoring of the terpenic compounds was assessed by using a spectrophotometric method. Results show that the free and bound terpenes had significant quantities in the aromatic varieties and lower quantities in the semi-aromatic ones. The accumulation of terpenes in musts are most likely to depend on the variety of the grapes than their region of provenience. The quantity of bound terpenes determined in musts is greater than that of free terpenes.
