Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Ethoxy-hexa-3,5-diene
Description2-Ethoxy-hexa-3,5-diene is a compound responsible for crushed geranium leaves odors. It is detected in wines treated with sorbic acid used as a yeast inhibitor for the stabilization of table wines containing residual sugar. 2-Ethoxy-hexa-3,5-diene is spontaneously formed from sorbyl alcohol (2,4-hexadien-1-ol) which is obtained from sorbic acid by the action of lactic acid bacteria. Sorbyl alcohol and thus 2-ethoxy-hexa-3,5-diene are also formed in wines with bacterial spoilage. [Chisholm 1992]
