Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol
Description4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol is a volatile phenol found in wines spoiled with the Brettanomyces wild yeast. It is produced by Brettanomyces as a result of enzymatic conversion of vinylphenols derived from cinnamic acids naturally present in the grape must. At low concentrations, this compound is thought to add to wine complexity, but at high concentrations the wine is considered spoiled and has been described as animal, barnyard, stable, phenolic, and mousy.
