“…Acetaldehyde is a reactive, low molecular weight, flavor active compound found in a variety of foods and beverages such as cheese (Weerkamp, Klijn, Neeter, & Smit, 1996), yogurt (Bottazzi, Battistotti, & Montescani, 1973), beer (Margalith, 1981) and wine (Bottazzi et al, 1973;Dittrich & Barth, 1984;Margalith, 1981;Weerkamp et al, 1996). It is quantitatively the most important carbonyl compound produced during alcoholic fermentations (AF) with final concentrations typically varying between 10 and 200 mg l − 1 (McCloskey & Mahaney, 1981), and a sensory threshold from 100 to 125 mg l − 1 in wine for free acetaldehyde (Zoecklein, Fugelsang, Gump, & Nury, 1995).…”
