Applications

4-ethylguaiacol is commonly used to impart a smoky and spicy flavor in foods and beverages, such as smoked meats and whiskeys.

 

Description

4-ethylguaiacol, often abbreviated to 4-EG, is a phenolic compound with the molecular formula C9H12O2. It can be produced in wine and beer by Brettanomyces. It is also frequently present in bio-oil produced by pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass.

 

Preparation

4-ethylguaiacol can also be produced by pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. It is produced from the lignin, along with many of the other phenolic compounds present in bio-oil. In particular, 4-ethylguaiacol is derived from guaiacyl in the lignin.

 

Chemical Properties

4-ethylguaiacol is a phenolic compound with a distinct smoky aroma, characterized by its hydroxyl group (OH) and aromatic ring structure, making it valuable in flavor and fragrance applications.

    PRODUCT NAME:4-ETHYLGUAIACOL

    INFORMATION OF 4-ETHYLGUAIACOL:4-Ethylguaiacol, often abbreviated to 4-EG, is a phenolic compound with the molecular formula C9H12O2. It is produced along with4-ethylphenol (4-EP) in wine and by the spoilage yeast Brettanomyces.[1] When it is produced by the yeast to concentrations greater than the sensory threshold of >600 µg/L, it can contribute bacon, spice, clove, or smoky aromas to the wine. On their own these characters can be quite attractive in a wine, however as the compound usually occurs with 4-EP whose aromas can be more aggressive, the presence of the compound often signifies a wine fault. The ratio in which 4-EP and 4-EG are present can greatly affected the organoleptic properties of the wine.
