“…The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine (PHE), tyrosine (TYR) and tryptophan (TRP), which take part in the grape metabolome, can also be consumed but are less preferable [15]. On the other hand, the catabolites of these aromatic amino acids include several sensorial and biological active compounds, such as tryptophol (TOL), tyrosol (TYL), hydroxytyrosol (OH-TYL) kynurenic acid (KYNA), kynurenine (KYN), indole acetic acid (IAA), indole lactic acid (ILA), and ethyl esters of TRP (TRP-EE) and TYR (TYR-EE) ( Figure 1) [9,16]. Via the Ehrlich pathway, the amino acids produce aromatic higher alcohols, like TOL and TYL, for which biosynthesis is positively correlated with ethanol stress-tolerant yeast, and as auto inducers are able to transmit information about the population density and the amount of available nitrogen [17].…”
