Brettanomyces

“Brett” Wheel http://heysmartbeerdude.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/brett-aroma-wheel.jpeg (Access: 10 June 2013)

• Budding yeast found widely distributed in nature

• Discovered in beer in 1904 (Claussen), in wine (Krumbholz & Tauschanoff,1930) and again in 1940 (Custers)

• Produces a wide array of aromatic compounds

• Wine cellar contamination was widespread

• “Brett” characters can compete with varietal characters for dominance of wine profile

Background:

Page 3: Preventing Wine Spoilage - IonSense · Elizabeth Crawford1,2, Paola Domizio3,4, Brian Musselman1, C. M. Lucy Joseph 3, Linda F. Bisson , Bart C. Weimer5 and Richard Jeannotte5,6 11th

When Is It Spoilage? • High concentration, dominating wine profile • Conflict with wine matrix characters • Suppression of varietal character • Enhancement of off-notes • Lactic acid bacteria often found in wines with

Brettanomyces

Recovery Thresholds: • Chatonnet* has defined spoilage as:

• >426 ppb of 4-ethylphenol (4-EP) and 4-ethylguaiacol (4-EG) • >620 ppb of 4-EP

• 50% of tasters can detect 605 ppb in wine or 440 ppb in water of 4-EP

Main Aromas and Incidence of Spoilage

Country >426ppb >620ppb

France 36% 28%

Italy 49% 19%

Australia 59% 46%

Portugal 42% 27%

Wines may contain up to 50 ppm (!) of 4-EP

• Band-Aid (4-Ethyl Phenol) • Earthy (Geosmin) • Horsy • Leather

• Putrid • Soy • Tobacco

Classic vs. Ambient Ionization

• Direct sample analysis under ambient conditions

• No separation of sample components (chromatographic) • Minimal sample preparation requirements (sample concentration) • Analysis time of 3 minutes per sample

GC-MS Method: Sample Preparation: • Total runtime = ~50 minutes

• Total sample prep time = 15 minutes with 100% analyst involvement • GC-MS runtime of 32 minutes

• Internal standards (4-EP-d4; 4-EG-d5) spiked into wines (5 mL), vortexed, solvent added (t-butyl ether), centrifugation, 5 µL injection onto GC

(Adapted form Rayne & Eggers (2008) (Am. J. Enol. Vitic. 59:92-97))

Key DART Source Parameters • Source Parameters:

• Ionization gasses • N2 (Standby) • He (Run Mode)

• Temperature of ionization gas • Sample introduction speed

• Ions typically observed in DART–MS mass spectra: • [M+H]+, [M–H]–

• M+·, M–· (ionic compounds) • Use of dopants to promote

ionization: • [M+NH4]+ (ammonia) • [M+Cl]– (e.g. CH2Cl2) • [M+CF3COO]– (trifluoroacetic

acid)

• Remarkable correlation between classic GC-MS method and novel DART-MS/MS method

• Effective and labor-free and solvent-free analyte concentration onto the Gerstel Twister sorptive stir bars • Direct screening of volatile phenolic compounds at low levels (10 - 50 ppb

range) with 3 minute sample analysis time with DART ionization

• The stir bar DART HRAM MS/MS method is quantitative over the targeted concentration range with good precision and accuracy • Limits of quantification between 10 - 50 ppb

• Minimized analyst interaction with the samples with DART method: • Reduces analyst error • Increases productivity and sample throughput • Real-time monitoring = quick response to changes during wine

fermentation to prevent wine spoilage (minimize revenue loss)

• Future work: Apply this method for broader phenolic characterization of wines for rapid wine characteristic fingerprinting
