StrainBrewer's yeast
Description4-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.

Enzymes

General function:
ferulate metabolic process
Specific function:
Catalyzes the reversible decarboxylation of aromatic carboxylic acids like ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid or cinnamic acid, producing the corresponding vinyl derivatives 4-vinylphenol, 4-vinylguaiacol, and styrene, respectively, which play the role of aroma metabolites (PubMed:20471595, PubMed:25647642). Not essential for ubiquinone synthesis (PubMed:20471595).
