Namephenethyl acetate
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBrewer's yeast
Description2-Phenylethyl acetate is formed when the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA is transferred to 2-phenylethanol by an alcohol acetyltransferase. This reaction regenerates the levels of CoA in the cell and allows the removal of 2-phenylethanol (a byproduct of phenylalanine metabolism) from the cell as 2-phenylethyl acetate. In wine-making, the production of 2-phenylethyl acetate by yeast cells is responsible for a fruity, flowery flavor.
