Bacillus thuringiensis Insecticides: Source of 2-Aminoacetophenone Formation in Wine?

The so-called “untypical aging off-flavor” (UTA) in wine is a negative change in the wine bouquet developed during storage, which leads to a considerable loss of wine quality.

Aminoacetophenone Formation in Wine
A correlation between the appearance of UTA and the formation of 2-aminoacetophenone (AAP) in wine has been identified therefore, numerous studies concerning the source and formation pathways of AAP have been conducted with the aim of creating new knowledge about, and ultimately preventing the development of UTA.

However, the reasons for the formation of AAP and the associated appearance of UTA in wine have not yet been clarified in detail. In a previous publication, we showed that AAP can be formed by UV light irradiation of free and lysozyme-bound tryptophan (TRP) after transformation into model wine and storage.
