Glutathione, a natural occurring antioxidant, is a thiol-containing peptide present in grape must and wine. It is able to regenerate the o-diphenol group of enzymatically oxidized trans-caftaric acid, giving rise to 2-S-glutathionyl-trans-caftaric acid (also known as grape reaction product, GRP) and thus inhibiting the browning of wine. The amount of GRP present in a wine provides information on the oxidation history of the wine over its elaboration and aging. GRP has been proved to suffer hydrolysis in model solutions and wines. To know the actual content of glutathione involved in white wine browning inhibition as GRP, the GRP-derived products have been studied in 1-year-aged white wines by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn. Online UV−vis spectra and pseudomolecular ions [(M + H)+] obtained by LC-MS supported the formation of some of the expected GRP hydrolysis products, mainly 2-S-glutathionyl-trans-caffeic acid (trans-GSCf), together with minor 2-S-(cysteinylglycyl)-trans-caftaric acid, 2-S-(γ-glutamylcysteinyl)-trans-caftaric acid, and 2-S-cysteinyl-trans-caftaric acid. On the basis of UV−vis and LC-MS2 spectra, new GRP derivatives in aged white wines have been tentatively characterized for the first time as three monoethyl esters of GRP (GRP-Et) and also the cis isomers of GRP, GSCf, and some of the GRP-Et.
