Product Description

Sweetcorn, like boiled sweetcorn or tomato sauce”

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

Dimethyl sulphide is formed during ageing of wine and can potentially be formed by yeast during fermentation. At low concentrations DMS contributes to the body and mouthfeel of white wines. In red wines it contributes to fruitiness. When present in excess DMS is an off-flavour, imparting notes of cooked maize, tomato and asparagus.

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

IMPORTANCE

At low concentrations DMS can contribute to the body and mouthfeel of white wines. In red wines, it contributes to fruitiness, reminiscent of quince or truffles. At higher concentrations it may present itself as an off-flavour, imparting cooked corn, tomato or asparagus notes to affected wines.

ORIGINS

Dimethyl sulphide is formed during ageing of wine in ways that are not yet fully understood. The flavour can potentially arise as a result of microbiological growth during wine fermentation.

HOW TO TASTE

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

CAS NUMBER
