Analyses of commercially available wines suggested non-Brettanomyces sources of 4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol. Grapes, enological additions, exposure to plastics, and oak-barrel aging were potential inputs considered. Investigations of whole grape bunch samples from two major red wine Vitis vinifera cultivars (L.

Volatile phenols produced by Brettanomyces dekkera have been associate with off-flavors of wines. A versatile liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry together with an HPLC-DAD-fluorescence methods were developed for the quantitation of two phenols, 4-ethylphenol (4EP) and 4-ethylguaiacol (4EG), in red and
Contamination of wine by Dekkera/Brettanomyces bruxellensis is mostly due to the production of off-flavours identified as vinyl- and especially ethyl-phenols, but these yeasts can also produce several other spoiling metabolites, such as acetic acid and biogenic amines. Little information is

Immobilization of salt-tolerant yeasts considerably decreases the total time required for the flavour development in soy-sauce processes. For immobilization of cells, alginate gel is mostly used as support material. However, alginate is not very suitable for use in soy-sauce processes

Taints caused by Brettanomyces sp. spoilage are of concern to winemakers and consumers. Typically the taints are described as "barnyard", "sweaty saddle", and "Band-aid" when present in red wine at concentrations of several hundred micrograms per liter or more. The
