A concise, up-to-date overview of the applications of mass spectrometry
To be able to estimate the potentiality of grapes and how it may be transferred into wine is key to grasping enological chemistry. Nowadays, mass spectrometry is a crucial aspect in ensuring the production, the quality, and the safety of grape, wine, and grape derivative products. Mass Spectrometry in Grape and Wine Chemistry examines in depth the relationship between the high structural identification power of mass spectrometry techniques and the chemistry of grapes and wine.
The text is divided into two parts. The first section provides an overview of mass spectrometry methods in relation to enology in three chapters. The second section offers seven chapters on wine chemistry as well as traditional topics and new developments in mass spectrometry. Mass Spectrometry in Grape and Wine Chemistry explores many mass spectrometry applications, including:
Ionization methods
Mass analyzers and mass measurements
Mass spectrometry methodologies
Grape aroma compounds
Volatile and aroma compounds in wines
Grape and wine polyphenols
Compounds released by wood into wine
Wine defects caused by compounds
Pesticide detection analysis
Peptides and proteins of grape and wine
Written by leading experts in the field, this book presents an introduction to mass spectrometry and outlines ways to maximize quality control and product safety for the best results. Mass Spectrometry in Grape and Wine Chemistry is an essential handbook for laboratories working in enology.

Reviews for Mass Spectrometry in Grape and Wine Chemistry
This book is very suitable for any scientist working in the oenological field who uses MS for the development of analytical methods or who wants to determine which mass technology is the most appropriate for his/her analytical problem . (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2010) So in summary, an excellent book is edited very well by Riccardo Flamini and Pietro Traldi and written by real experts in the field of mass spectrometry and wine chemistry.
