Product Description

Diacetyl, like butter, butter popcorn, or warm milk”

Certified cider flavour standard used to train professional cider tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of diacetyl character.

2,3-Butanedione is produced by yeast during fermentation. It imparts a buttery flavour to cider. High levels can be formed by malo-lactic bacteria.

Food grade | free from sensory impurities | extensively tested | safe to smell and taste.

IMPORTANCE

Diacetyl is a desirable flavour in some ciders, and an off-flavour in others. In traditional ciders it arises from secondary fermentation with malo-lactic bacteria. Such ciders have higher levels of 2,3-butanedione compared with those produced more rapidly, without a malo-lactic fermentation.

ORIGINS

Produced in cider from a precursor formed by yeast during fermentation. Diacetyl can also be formed by contaminant lactic acid bacteria including Lactobacillus and Pediococcus.

HOW TO TASTE

The best way to detect diacetyl character in cider is as follows. Without covering the glass, swirl the beer to release the aroma. Take a single short sniff. Repeat as necessary.

CAS NUMBER

The CAS registry number of acetaldehyde is 431-03-8.
