Project overview The scope of the project is to develop the analysis of metabolic profiles of grapevine musts as a tool aiming (a) to forecast the quality of wines, (b) the rapid selection of seedlings in grape breeding programs, (c) the analysis of genetic determinants of individual components (metabolites) of the must profiles. The analysis protocols are being developed on the base on SPE/HS-SPME (Solid Phase Extraction, Head Space-Solid Phase Micro Extraction) pre-enrichment strategies and chromatographic/mass spectrometric techniques such GC/MS and HPLC/MS and their recent development.
