Its origin is reputedly due to the growth of certain strains of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts of the genus Dekkera, more often described by the asexual form, Brettanomyces. Tainted wines are rendered unpalatable and this is economically disastrous for the wine producer. The compounds considered responsible for mousy taint in wine are the tautomers 2-acetyl- 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine and 2-acetyl-3,4,5,6 tetrahydropyridine (described together as ACTPY). The lack of a sensitive analytical method for the measurement of the compounds associated with mousy taint, which only occur at low concentrations (¡rgll range), has constrained research in this area. In the present work a reliable analytical method was developed to examine the chemical basis of mousy taint and to investigate the role of DekkeralBrettanomyces yeast in the formation of mousy taint. A method for the extraction, analysis and quantification of ACTPY was developed, incorporating a continuous liquid/liquid extraction procedure and analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/ÏVIS). The procedure was validated by a spiking trial and was shown to be reliable and highly sensitive. This enabled a detailed analysis of mousy taint compounds in wine and culture media extracts. Detection and analysis of other compounds which reputedly had a mousy character was undertaken; 2-acetyl-l-pynoline (ACPY) and 2-ethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (ETPY) were identified as important constituents of mousy taint. The very sensorily potent ^CPY was detected in mousy wines and in some experimental fermentations carried out by DekkeralBrettanomyces species. This was the first report of the production of this compound by yeast. Its identity was confirmed by comparison of mass spectral data with lv that of an authentic reference sample. The mousy impact of ACPY was confirmed by GC effluent sniffing (GC-sniff). The compound ETPY was also detected in mousy wines and fermentation media, and synthesis of an authentic reference and comparison of mass spectral data confirmed its identity. Confirmation \Mas also shown with co-injection analysis by GC/IMS of an authentic sample and an extract containing tentatively identified ETPY. This analysis indicated the detection of ETPY by the symmetrical peak enhancement of the target compound with no significant change in relative ratios of the component ions. This compound was detected below its reported taste threshold in wine, indicating that it may have a limited impact on mousy taint in wine. However, it was always detected in association with ACTPY and to a smaller extent with ACPY. This suggests a possible route for its formation, but does not discount any additive sensory effect. Two surveys of mousy taint production by the type strains of DekkeralBrettanomyces cultured under different conditions were ca:ried out. A rapid and simple method was used initially. The yeasts were grown in a grape juice medium and mousy taint detected by sensory evaluation. A large proportion of the yeasts, representing all species, produced taint under these conditions. A more detailed analytical study in which all the known type strains of DekkeralBrettanomyces were cultured in a chemically defined medium was undertaken. This showed that all DekkeralBrettanomyces tested, including the recently classified B. nana, could produce ACTPY and to a lesser extent ETPY. No ACPY was detected under these conditions. A practical consequence of these data is that mousy taint formation in wine could arise from the presence in wine of any strain or species of these yeasts, depending on the conditions and availability of appropriate precursors. This work confirmed the previously reported observations that the amino acid r-lysine is an important precursor for the formation mousy taint, as a marked reduction in ACTPY and ETPY concentration was observed in its absence. This finding suggests that the intracellular pool of r-lysine is v enlarged by the presence of extracellular L-lysine, thereby increasing the flux of tetrahydropyridine formation. These data also indicated that L-lysine is not the precursor of ACPY. Substantial concentrations of ACPY were produced by the DekkeralBrettanomyces species tested only when r-ornithine was the sole nitrogen source. The production of mousy taint compounds can therefore be considered a characteristic of the genera Dekkeral Brettanomyces. The origin of the nitrogen heterocycle ACTPY (and ETPY) was investigated by the use of stable isotopes. In a feeding experiment, uniformly labelled L-lysine l36u-15¡, was found to be the primary precursor to ACTPY and ETPY, as labelled C and N were incorporated into these compounds. Further investigations using 15N label at the either o-amino or e- amino groups of r-lysine, showed that the e-N contributed to ACTPY and ETPY. These data indicate a novel route of L-lysine catabolism in DekkeralBrettanomyces. The accumulation of ACTPY in culture media was strongly linked to the growth phase, with the amount of ACTPY increasing as the culture progressed from early to middle stationary phase. The formation of ACTPY coincided with the uptake of r-lysine from the medium, providing further evidence that the catabolism of this amino acid was important to tetrahydropyridine formation. In contrast to ACTPY, the production of ETPY was delayed until the middle stationary phase. This suggests that ETPY is a product of further metabolism of ACTPY. The strong link to growth indicates that mousy taint compounds are a product of general cell metabolism. The role of oxygen in mousy taint formation was investigated in a grape juice medium.

    2014 ASBC Annual Meeting 76th ASBC Annual Meeting June 4–6, 2014 57 Analyzing the sugar and flavor profile of Brettanomyes wild yeast Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel Chicago, IL during primary versus secondary fermentation (Tiffany Andres, White Labs, Inc.) Abstract Brewing with Brettanomyces yeast has been rising in popularity as such yeast can create different flavors and aromas to increase the unique character of a particular beer. Recent research on Brettanomyces strains available in the brewing industry focused on strain-specific fermentations and have attempted to identify the major compounds produced during fermentation. This study attempts to investigate the differences in flavor compounds after experimenting in primary and secondary fermentation with various Brettanomyces strains. The concept of primary versus secondary fermentation relates to different sugars being available for Brettanomyces to metabolize since Saccharomyces yeast will readily consume most of the fermentable sugars. By analyzing the performance of various Brettanomyces strains during primary versus secondary fermentation, it will be essential to measure the carbohydrate sugar profile before and after fermentation, as well as look at attenuation. The focus of this research will be to explore the flavor compounds produced when Brettanomyces has fermentable sugars available in contrast to which flavor compounds are produced from dextrins after secondary fermentation. The Brettanomyces strains that will be able to metabolize different sugars resulting in differences on a sensory level will be evaluated. Introduction Results Brettanomyces create different flavors and aromas that can contribute to the unique character of the finished beer. The type and quantity of sugars present will affect the fermentation flavors.

The production of volatile phenols by the yeast species confers to wine unpleasant sensory characteristics which are unacceptable by the consumers and inevitably provoke economic loss for the wine industry. This ubiquitous yeast is able to adapt to all winemaking steps and to withstand various environmental conditions. Moreover, the ability of B. bruxellensis to adhere and colonize inert materials can be the cause of the yeast persistence in the cellars and thus recurrent wine spoilage. We therefore investigated the surface properties, biofilm formation capacity, and the factors which may affect the attachment of the yeast cells to surfaces with eight strains representative of the genetic diversity of the species. Methods The eight strains of B. bruxellensis were isolated from different geographical and industrial fermentation origins. The cells were grown in synthetic YPD medium containing 1% (w/v) yeast extract (Difco Laboratories, Detroit), 2% (w/v)bacto peptone (Difco), and 1% (w/v) glucose. Surface physicochemical properties as electrophoretic mobility and adhesion to hydro- carbon of the cells were studied. The ability of the strains to form biofilm was quantified using a colorimetric microtiter 96-well polystyrene plate.

  • Implications of Nitrogen Nutrition for Grapes, Fermentation and Wine
    242 Implications of nitrogen nutrition Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research 11, 242–295, 2005 Implications of nitrogen nutrition for grapes, fermentation and wine SALLY-JEAN BELL and PAUL A. HENSCHKE The Australian Wine Research Institute, PO Box 197, Glen Osmond,Adelaide, SA 5064,Australia Corresponding authors: Sally-Jean Bell, facsimile: +61 8 8303 6601, email [email protected]; Paul A. Henschke, facsimile: +61 8 8303 6601, email [email protected] Abstract This review discusses the impacts of nitrogen addition in the vineyard and winery, and establishes the effects that nitrogen has on grape berry and wine composition and the sensory attributes of wine. Nitrogen is the most abundant soil-derived macronutrient in a grapevine, and plays a major role in many of the biological functions and processes of both grapevine and fermentative microorganisms. Manipulation of grapevine nitrogen nutrition has the potential to influence quality components in the grape and, ultimately, the wine. In addition, fermentation kinetics and formation of flavour-active metabolites are also affected by the nitrogen status of the must, which can be further manipulated by addition of nitrogen in the winery. The only consistent effect of nitrogen application in the vineyard on grape berry quality components is an increase in the concentration of the major nitrogenous compounds, such as total nitrogen, total amino acids, arginine, proline and ammonium, and consequently yeast- assimilable nitrogen (YAN). Both the form and amount of YAN have significant implications for wine quality. Low must YAN leads to low yeast populations and poor fermentation vigour, increased risk of sluggish/stuck/slow fermentations, increased production of undesirable thiols (e.g.

  • Brettanomyces – Solving a Wine Spoilage Problem Adoption Impact
    Wine Australia for Australian Wine Case study July 2020 Brettanomyces – solving a wine spoilage problem Adoption Impact Overview and summary of impact Brettanomyces (‘Brett’) is a yeast that is commonly found in wineries (and breweries). Molecular research by the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) has shown that there are dozens of strains of Brett in Australia. It is found in wine and in barrels and persists through cross-contamination between the two. Two decades of research and extension by AWRI, with funding from Wine Australia, has substantially reduced the cost to the Australian wine sector of spoilage associated with the presence of the yeast Brettanomyces. The situation Brett produces a range of volatile phenol compounds, produced, which is in turn related to the grape variety. principally 4-ethylphenol (4EP) and 4-ethylguaiacol Brett is also associated with reduced fruit flavour (4EG). These compounds can impart undesirable intensity and a drying, metallic aftertaste. Consumer sensory characteristics on wine including ‘medicinal’, studies by AWRI indicate that the concentration of Brett ‘leather’, ‘smoky’, ‘spicy’, ‘Band-AidTM’ and ‘barnyard’. compounds in wine is strongly and negatively correlated These expressions depend on the ratio of compounds with consumer liking. Wine Australia case study Brettanomyces – solving a wine spoilage problem 2 The critical risk period for Brett spoilage is known as the character, involving collaborations with research groups ‘Brett zone’ – the period between the end of primary at the University of Adelaide, in Bordeaux, in Chile and and secondary fermentation, and before the addition elsewhere. of sulfur dioxide – especially when residual sugars are AWRI promotes a strategy comprising eight major available to the yeast.

  • Understanding Brettanomyces
    Understanding Brettanomyces By Tom Ostler Introduction In March 1994 the Cornell University Agricultural Research Station at Geneva NY. (N.Y.S.A.E.S.) hosted the 23rd annual New York Wine Industry Workshop. This two-day event is well attended by most New York wineries as well as by many representatives from Ontario wineries. In addition, there are usually a number of serious amateurs present, soaking up technical information to improve basement, or garage, production. The 1994 session was no different with members of A.W.O. representing Toronto, Ottawa and Niagara in attendance. You might not know what Brettanomyces is, nor why you need to understand it. I didn’t until I found myself in the midst of a mild, but enthusiastic, scientific debate about the merits of the beneficial effects this yeast strain has on a wine, as opposed to the potential damage it can do to a wine. The debate in the commercial wine industry seems to have evolved to differentiate ‘good Brett’ from ‘bad Brett’. It appears that the progress of Brettanomyces in a wine leads to an evolution in aromas, as opposed to an enhancement of one aroma indicator. The volatile phenols produced in red wine by Brettanomyces are characterized by descriptors ranging from “barnyard” and “leather”, to “clove” and “strong spice”, to “smoky – B.B.Q.”, to “phenolic”, “medicinal”, “band aid” and even “animal”. The presentation made by Erik Olsen of Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, Washington was accompanied by a tasting of three wines with varying levels of 4-ethyl phenol, which is a byproduct of Brettanomyces.

  • Brettanomyces Bruxellensis Occurrence, Growth, and Effect on Wine Flavor
    ARVIK, BRETT OCCURRENCE, 1 Reprinted with permission from Practical Winery & Vineyard, May/June 2002 BRETTANOMYCES BRUXELLENSIS OCCURRENCE, GROWTH, AND EFFECT ON WINE FLAVOR Torey Arvik1, Thomas Henick-Kling2 1 Doctoral Student, Cornell University Enology Group, Cornell University, Geneva, NY 2 Associate Professor for Enology, Cornell University,New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY Brettanomyces bruxellensis can make some red wines smell like a horse blanket that has been stored in a metal Band-Aids® box. Any, or a combination of all of these flavors and aromas can be found in affected wines harboring this yeast. Dekkera/Brettanomyces has been known to inhabit many specialized environments including tree sap, dairies, breweries, and most notably the winery environment.1 There are currently five accepted species of Dekkera/Brettanomyces: D. (B.) bruxelllensis, B. custersianus, D. anomalus, B. naardenensis, and B. nanus.3 These genera were re-classified from multiple isolates after having been given various synonyms throughout the history of mycology. Conserved gene sequence analysis and traditional biochemical tests were recently used to re-classify this group.4 What is the difference between Brettanomyces and Dekkera? To answer this question, one should know a little about yeast sex. Dekkera, which makes spores when times get tough, is the “perfect” sexual form of Brettanomyces, mycologically speaking. Thus, the reader will often see the name “Dekkera/Brettanomyces” in the literature to describe this duality. Let’s just focus on the term Brettanomyces, since only a few fortunate people have been able to get the Dekkera form from a wine.7 Brettanomyces bruxellensis has supposedly been isolated from a 10-year-old wine! Not surprising if you are a microbiologist, but winemakers bristle at the thought.

Abstract Résumé Aims: This work reviews the latest knowledge concerning the role of Objectif : Ce travail propose un bilan des connaissances récemment acquises Brettanomyces bruxellensis in red wine alteration. sur l'altération des vins rouges par la levure Brettanomyces bruxellensis. Results and conclusion: The origin of this yeast species and its place in Résultats et conclusion : L'origine des souches Brettanomyces bruxellensis the wine microbial consortium are discussed as well as microbial présentes dans les vins et leur place au sein du consortium microbiologique equilibriums with the other species, notably Saccharomyces cerevisiae œnologique est discutée. L'accent est mis sur les interactions de and lactic acid bacteria. As a consequence, fermentations are described as B. bruxellensis avec la matière première, le raisin, mais aussi avec les autres key steps in Brettanomyces development management. Furthermore, the microorganismes du vin, et plus particulièrement, l'espèce Saccharomyces influence of ageing through the use of traditional winemaking practices is cerevisiae et les bactéries lactiques. Par conséquent, les fermentations se explained révèlent être des étapes décisives pour l'implantation des B. bruxellensis apportées par le raisin dans le vin. Ensuite, les influences de différentes Significance and impact of study: Finally, this paper emphases the need opérations œnotechniques durant l'élevage sont détaillées et révèlent for a better understanding of chemical and microbial analysis together in l'importance de la stabilisation microbiologique des vins durant cette order to better control this undesirable yeast and prevent the production of période.
