Product Description

“Chlorophenol, like antiseptic, disinfectant or mouthwash”

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

Chlorophenol taints can contaminate cider through residues of cleaning agents, process water and, occasionally, through exposure to defective processing aids or packaging materials. Chlorophenols impart antiseptic, medicinal notes to cider.

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

IMPORTANCE

Chlorophenols cause taints in ciders. They are associated with a high degree of consumer rejection, even at low levels. They are often described by consumers as ‘chemical’, ‘antiseptic’ or ‘contaminated’.

ORIGINS

Chlorophenols are formed by admixture of incompatible cleaning agents or by contact of cider with chlorinated water. Chlorophenolic taints occasionally arise through contamination of processing aids or packaging materials.

HOW TO TASTE

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

CAS NUMBER

The CAS registry number of chlorophenol is 87-65-0.
