Outline of Presentation
 Introduction
to Esters
 Ester Formation during Fermentation
 Stability of Esters
Introduction to Esters
What Is an Ester?
 Volatile
molecule
 Formed from the reaction of an alcohol
and a keto acid
 Formed enzymatically from an alcohol and
a keto acid bound to the cofactor,
Coenzyme A
 Characteristic fruity and floral aromas
Ester Formation

+
R2-CCoA
O
R1-O-C-R2
Where do Esters Come from?
 Can
be formed by the chemical reaction of
an alcohol and a keto acid
 Can be formed enzymatically by the plant
 Can be formed enzymatically by microbes
Where do Esters Come from in Wine?


Can be formed by the chemical reaction of an alcohol
and a keto acid
Can be formed enzymatically by the plant
 Can
be formed enzymatically by microbes
– Non-Saccharomyces yeasts
– Saccharomyces
– Lactic acid bacteria
– Acetic acid bacteria
Ester Classes
 Ethyl
esters of acids
 Acetate esters of alcohols
Ester Classes
 Ethyl
esters of acids
– Keto acids from amino acid catabolism
– Fatty acids from fatty acid biosynthesis or lipid
degradation
 Acetate
esters of alcohols
– Ethanol
– Derivatives from nitrogen metabolism
» Fusel oils from amino acid catabolism
» Alcohols from purine and pyrimidine catabolism
Common Esters Found in Wine
Ethyl Propanoate
 Ethyl -2-Methylpropanoate
 Ethyl-2 -Methylbutanoate
 Ethyl-3-Methylbutanoate
 Isobutyl Acetate

2-Methylpropyl Acetate
 2-Methylbutyl Acetate
 3-Methylbutyl Acetate
(Isoamyl acetate)
 Hexyl Acetate

– Requires grape
precursor

Ethyl Lactate
– Bacterial in origin

Negative Wine Characteristics
Associated with Esters
 Foxy

 Intense fruit

Ester Expression
 Dependent
upon chemical species present
 Dependent upon concentrations: relative and
absolute
 Dependent upon matrix factors
 Dependent upon yeast strain and substrates
In General . . .
 The
higher the concentration the more
negative the impression is of the character
 Longer chain esters fall into soapy, perfume
range
 Combinations of esters can confer a
stronger aroma than the sum of the
individual compounds
Negative Ester Characters
 Nail
polish/glue: ethyl acetate
 Soap: ethyl octanoate, ethyl decanoate
 Perfume: hexyl acetate
 Rose: phenethylacetate, phenethyl alcohol

 Winery residents
 Primary genera:

–
Hanseniaspora (Kloeckera)
Metschnikowia (Candida)
Candida
Pichia
Torulaspora
Kluveromyces
Production by Non-Saccharomyces
yeast
 Contribute
generic fruity and floral notes
 Can make excessive ethyl acetate
(Hanseniaspora)
 Better adapted to lower temperatures than
Saccharomyces
– Bloom during cold-settling
– Bloom during cold maceration
– Can be sulfite tolerant
Production by Saccharomyces
 Yeast
Strain
 Nutrition (Sugar, Nitrogen)
–
–
Generally increased nitrogen in vineyard
increases ester concentrations
During fermentation impacted by both nitrogen
source (NH4+, amino acids) and nitrogen level
interacting with yeast genetic background

Stability of Esters
Ester Loss
 Volatilization:
– temperature dependent
– fermentation vigor dependent
 Hydrolysis:
– pH dependent
– time dependent
 Matrix
effects:
– masking: ethanol
– enhancing: sugar, polyphenol, tannin
Ester Loss
 Generally
lost upon aging in barrel
(volatilization and hydrolysis)
 Lost upon aging in bottle (hydrolysis)
 Most esters gone six months postfermentation, depending upon aging and
temperature of aging
Control of Ester Formation
 Management
of strains and microbial
populations
 Age under conditions favoring loss (or
retention)
