TLDR
In this paper, the formation of 4-ethyl and 4-vinyl derivatives of guaiacol, phenol and syringol from ferulic acid,p-coumaric acid and sinapic acid, respectively, by Brettanomyces sp. in a synthetic medium was studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Abstract
The formation of 4-ethyl and 4-vinyl derivatives of guaiacol, phenol and syringol from ferulic acid,p-coumaric acid and sinapic acid, respectively, byBrettanomyces sp. in a synthetic medium was studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Some of these metabolites possess strong spicy, smoke-like, medicinal, clove-like, woody or phenolic odours and their role as spoilage compounds in wine is discussed. Their formation appears to be characteristic of this yeast genus and its sporulating formDekkera, suggesting these yeasts are Pof+. This paper attempts to clarify the distinctive and ‘characteristic’ odours which have long been attributed toBrettanomyces yeast metabolism.

Biochemical Changes throughout Grape Berry Development and Fruit and Wine Quality

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the key control points in grape ripening and concluded that optimal grape maturity is essential for wine quality, but is difficult to assess because it is under multifactorial control, involving grapevine cultivar variety and environmental parameters such as soil, temperature, exposure to sun, and hormonal regulation.

The origin of ethylphenols in wines

TL;DR: The results presented show that the synthesis of the high quantities of ethylphenols found in the ‘phenolic’ red wines can occur during the ageing of wines having normally completed their alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentations.

Genetic and Biochemical Analysis of the Ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Decarboxylate Cinnamic Acids

Andrew R. Goodey, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1982 - 
TL;DR: Decarboxylation of ferulate to 4-vinylguaiacol is associated with the production of a phenolic off-flavour in beer and the ability of non-brewing strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to carry out this reaction has been assigned to a single nuclear gene, POF1.
