In this study, glucose oxidase (GOX) and catalase (CAT) were applied in white must with high sugar content and pH (>3.8) to simultaneously decrease glucose concentration and pH. The effect of enzyme treatment on volatile composition of wine was investigated. A concentration of 0.17 mkat/L for both GOX and CAT was sufficient to produce a remarkable reduction of glucose concentration in the must (61.5 g/L), achieving similar results within the pH range of 3–4. The musts subjected to enzymatic treatment yielded more balanced wines, lowering their alcohol content by 10–27 mL/L and pH by 0.3–0.5, while leaving their chromatic characteristics unchanged compared to the control wines. As positive effects, enzyme treatment reduced the concentrations of C6-alcohols with green-herbaceous notes and high-chain ethyl esters with soapy notes in wines, and did not modify the concentrations of short-chain ethyl esters, acids and higher alcohols. However, the concentrations of heptyl acetate and 2-phenylethanol with floral notes, and some ketones with floral and fruit notes, were lower in wines from treated musts.
