Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Vinylphenol
Description4-Vinylphenol is a vinylphenol, a type of pyranoanthocyanin. 4-Vinylphenol is produced by decarboxylation by phenyl acrylic acid decarboxylase of the grape compound p-coumaric acid by certain strains of S. cerevisiae. Vinylphenols then spontaneously condensate with grape anthocyanins (mainly malvidin-3-O-glucoside) to form pigments important for the color of ageing wine. 4-Vinylphenol is responsible for a hospital or plaster smell.
