Dataset on the characterization of the flavor of two red wine varieties using sensory descriptive analysis, volatile organic compounds quantitative analysis by GC-MS and odorant composition by GC-MS-O

The dataset contains data that were collected on 2 sets of 8 French red wines from two grape varieties, Pinot Noir (PN) and Cabernet Franc (CF). It provides, for the 16 wines, (i) sensory descriptive data obtained with a trained panel, (ii) volatile organic compounds (VOC) quantification data obtained by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and (iii) odorant composition obtained by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry–Olfactometry (GC-MS-O).

The dataset is a Microsoft Excel Worksheet containing 8 sheets.

- Sheet 1: Information

Gives information about the sheets contained in this .xlsx file

- Sheet 2: Experimental_factors

Each row represents a wine

Each column corresponds to an experimental factors of the wines (Grape variety, Vintage and Protected Designation of Origin)

- Sheet 3: List_sensory_descriptors

Lists the 33 sensory descriptors used for the sensory descriptive analysis of the wines

- Sheet 4: Sensory_descriptive_analysis

Each row represents a wine

Each column corresponds to a condition (2640 columns)

Senso_(ortho or retro)_(Panelist1 to Panelist 16)_(1 to 33 Sensory descriptors)_(1 to 3 repetitions for ortho and 1 to 2 repetitions for retro)

For the ortho (orthonasal) measurements, there is 16 panelists, 33 sensory descriptors and 3 repetitions = 1584 columns

For the retro (retronasal) measurements, there is 16 panelists, 33 sensory descriptors and 2 repetitions = 1056 columns

Each cell contains a sensory measurement for the corresponding condition in the corresponding wine

- Sheet 5: List_VOC

Lists the 45 VOC quantified in the wines with their corresponding CAS number

VOC: Volatil Organic Compounds

- Sheet 6: VOC_quantification

Each row represents a wine

Each column corresponds to a VOC (45 columns)

Each cell contains the quantification of the corresponding VOC in the corresponding wine

- Sheet 7: List_GC-MS-O

Lists the 49 odor-active compounds identified with their corresponding CAS number and the 34 compounds identified by their apex indice

- Sheet 8: GC-MS-O

Each row represents a wine

Each column corresponds to an odor-active compound identified by its CAS number or by its Apex indice if the compound was not identify (81 odor-active compounds) + the number of judges who smelled the compound and its description (by 8 judges) = 9 columns per odor-active compound for a total of 729 columns
