Brettanomyces Aromas
• Horse sweat - Leather• Earthy• Medicinal• Band Aid• Smoky• Tobacco• Barnyard• Putrid• Lilac
Brettanomyces SubstratesGrown in a defined medium with the
following substrates:• Cinnamic acids:– Coumaric Acid– Ferulic Acid– Caffeic Acid
• Amino Acids– Lysine– Phenylalanine– Tryptophan– Tyrosine
Bench Test Indicated Differences in Odor Sensitivities
• Some individuals did not feel that any of the odors were typical of what they thought of as “Brett aroma”
• Others did not detect typical Brettanomyces aroma compounds (i.e. 4-ethylphenol): “specific anosmia”
• Samples were described quite differently by different people making it necessary to determine if they were detecting different compounds in the same sample
• Samples without known precursors gave typical Brettanomyces odors

Proposed Pathway for Mousy Aromas from Lysine in Brettanomyces
ETHP = 2-ethyltetrahydropyridineATHP = 2-acetyltetrahydropyridine
Amino Acid to Alcohols in Saccharomyces
• Phenylalanine
Amino Acid to Alcohols in Saccharomyces
• Tryptophan
Sensory Analysis
The analysis of the Brettanomyces samples suggested that people were either detecting different compounds or multiple compounds produced from the precursor.
Review of Human Olfactory Sensory Detection
How Do We Perceive Aroma?
Every olfactory receptor binds many similar odorants with different affinities.
Olfactory sensory neurons are directly connected to the olfactory bulb which is connected directly to the primitive brain or the limbic system. This system is involved in processing memory and emotion.
10 million olfactory sensory neurons on the olfactory epithelium
Genetics of Olfaction• Humans have 388 genes that code for olfactory
receptors (OR) and about 414 pseudogenes• These genes have different alleles but only one
allele is expressed at a time• OR genes are divided into 17 families and 127
subfamilies based on sequence and protein structure
• Each receptor reacts with one type of chemical or chemical constituent
• “Aroma” often consists of a mixture of these signals to receptors that we learn to associate with a given object like bacon or coffee
Olfactory Receptor Gene Distribution
Olfactory receptor genes occuron all chromosomes except 20 and Y.
Analysis of Brettanomyces Produced Compounds by Solid Phase Micro-extraction with Gas
Chromatography and a Mass Spectrometer Detector with an Olfactory Port
(SPME-GCMS-O)
• Tested cultures in defined medium not wine• Analyzed samples with substrates added at levels
normally found in wine to determine which compounds were odor active
• Tested standards to determine if the chemicals identified had the same retention times and aroma descriptors as those in the samples
Solid Phase Micro-extraction with Gas Chromatography and a Mass Spectrometer Detector with an Olfactory Port
• The fiber was exposed to the head space of 10 ml samples of media, with cells removed, for 30 minutes.
• The fiber was desorbed into the GC column injector.
• The sample could be split for olfactory detection and mass spec. analysis or un-split for mass spec. analysis alone.
Olfactory Port
• Half of the sample goes to the Mass Spec. detector and the other half is carried with humidified air to the glass nose cone for olfactory detection by a human.
• Panelist responds to aroma by pushing button to indicate time and duration of aroma
• Panelist also describes aroma and notes time during the run

Difference in Panelists Perception of Standards
Difference in Panelists Perception of the Same Sample
Difference in Odor Perception of One Panel Member on Different Days
Summary of Panel Members Perceptions of Standards
• Only the aroma compounds that were detected by a majority of panelists were identified chemically
• Some standard compounds were detected by all of the panelists while others were only detected by half of the panelists
• Responses to the compounds varied among panelists, from 100% detection to 75% detection of all standards

Conclusions
• Brettanomyces produces a variety of odor active compounds
• The production of odor active compounds by Brettanomyces is controlled by substrate availability and metabolic state of the cell
• The metabolic state of the cell is dependent upon its environment
• Interactions between aroma compounds and individual ability to perceive odor active compounds will affect perception of overall aroma
