Description
4-Vinylguaiacol is a vinylphenol, a type of pyranoanthocyanin. 4-Vinylguaiacol is produced by enzymatic decarboxylation of the grape compound ferulic 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-Vinylguaiacol is also found in beers and is responsible for a pungent clove-like aroma.
