The extent of barrel charring and its resultant influence on the generation of phenols and esters that alter whisky flavour profiles is yet to be fully explored. In this study, American white oak (<em>Quercus alba</em>) was charred at nine different temperatures, 473–1073 K, and added to both neat ethanol and new make unaged whisky for 500 days. Through the tailoring of the surface area to volume ratio, ageing was focussed over the equivalent of a 250-day maturation period in a full-sized sherry butt, enabling nine chemical species, each associated with a unique flavour profile, to be tracked via regular sampling. The temperature at which the char was formed was not observed to directly alter the tracked flavour congeners, although trends concerning early ethyl ester formation are discussed. Notably, it was found that the presence of a char gradient, arising from the use of a blowtorch, increased the production of ethyl esters, particularly significant during the early stages of the aging process. We believe that additional studies investigating the influence of set heat exposures on char formation could further quantify this effect, enabling the impact of charring on whisky flavour profiles to be further understood.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100545,"journal":{"name":"Food Physics","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100055"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143895150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the mechanical properties, transfer functions were used representing the time dependency of the signal and thus the viscoelastic behaviour. In this study, a total of 31 roastbeef samples from 16 different young bulls and two older cows were examined from day of slaughter to day 21 of cold storage with regard to their tenderness. For this purpose, vibroacoustic measurements were carried out on the unprocessed/raw meat at intervals of 1–3 days.

In the results of all three methods, the shear force measurement, the sensory test and the vibroacoustic method, showed that roastbeef from the same animal but different halves produced different results. Basically, it is possible to predict the tenderness of roastbeef by taking measurements at the beginning of the maturing process for the end of the maturing period using vibroacoustic methods: Data analysis led to a trend function that roughly reflects the actual tenderness, which is generally higher than the real tenderness represented by the shear-force measurement.
