• Acetaldehyde can be produced by yeast and acetic acid bacteria by the oxidation of ethanol. (lodiwinelabs.com)
  • Fino, as well as its acetaldehyde, contains very low levels of acetic acid and so matches perfectly with olives, marinated anchovies or any food containing vinegar. (trulyexperiences.com)

  • During the process of metabolizing alcohol, a highly toxic byproduct called acetaldehyde is created. (dairydon.net)
  • Overall, we did not find strong evidence that variation in genes coding for proteins that further metabolize the carbon backbone of acetaldehyde, or contribute to mechanisms for regenerating NAD from NADH, affects alcohol metabolism in our European-descent subjects. (blogspot.com)
  • Boiling helps decrease the conversion of reduced sugars into acetaldehyde and eventually alcohol. (homebarbrew.com)
  • Sensory threshold in wine is typically between 100-125 mg/L. SO 2 will bind with acetaldehyde to help reduce unwanted aromas. (lodiwinelabs.com)
  • On the positive side, acetaldehyde leads to a concentration of color and helps bring out nuanced aromas and flavors-perhaps a hint of nuttiness, maybe notes of baked apples, sometimes a grassy factor. (paulmarcuswines.com)
  • Oxidized - Any one or combination of stale, winy/vinous, cardboard, papery, or sherry-like aromas and flavors. (scoresheets.cc)
  • 1,1-Diethoxyethane (acetaldehyde diethyl acetal) is a major flavoring component of distilled beverages, especially malt whisky and sherry. (wikipedia.org)
  • Although "sherry flor" has been time-honored by bodegas and winemakers for generations it was not until the second half of the 20 th century that this microorganism started to be classified and recognized as it is in reality: a group of different yeast strains that develops on the surface of the wine and transforms it throughout its short and fast life cycle. (lustau.es)
  • It isn't only the unique soils which make the region special, but the perfect climatic conditions necessary for the survival of the naturally occurring flor (yeast) used in the biological ageing of Sherry (and it must be said that Sherry really becomes Sherry during the ageing process). (albaewineclub.com)
  • Low to moderately low levels of yeast-generated sulfur compounds in aroma and flavour should be apparent, and low levels of acetaldehyde or other volatiles normally scrubbed during fermentation may or may not be apparent. (canadianbrewingawards.com)
  • Palo Cortado is one of the rarest Sherry styles, which is a product of natural deficiencies in the flor layer. (decanter.com)

  • Aging sherry under "velo de flor" has been a traditional aging process that still plays an important role in the region. (lustau.es)
  • In summary, wines that develop the "flor" are wines known as biological aged sherry wines . (lustau.es)
  • However, if these microorganisms are not present as "veil of flor" the wines will result in rounder, more structured types of sherry. (lustau.es)
  • But it also interacts with the wine, eating sugars and other chemical compounds, and producing acetaldehydes, which give Sherry its distinctive ripe apple aroma. (decanter.com)
  • By reacting with H 2 O 2 , brain catalase forms compound I (the catalase-H 2 O 2 system), which is able to oxidize EtOH to acetaldehyde (ACD) in the brain. (blogspot.com)
  • Sherries are fortified wines, meaning that a small amount of grape spirit (brandy) is added to them, after fermentation, to give them greater longevity and stability. (decanter.com)
