Outline
• Discussion: VA (volatile acidity) vs. acetic acid• Yeast films• Bacterial films• Symbiosis/Synchronicities?• Microbiological creation of spoilage
compounds– And some chemical reaction spoilage
• Nutrient additions

• What’s this VA thing all about anyway?
![Page 4: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Vinegar was known early in civilization as the natural result of exposure of beer and wine to air– acetic acid-producing bacteria are present globally.
• The use of acetic acid in alchemy extends into the 3rd century BC, when the Greek philosopher Theophrastus described how vinegar acted on metals to produce pigments useful in art, including white lead (lead carbonate) and verdigris, a green mixture of copper salts including copper(II) acetate.
![Page 5: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Ancient Romans boiled soured wine, reducing it to a highly sweet syrup called sapa. Sapa that was produced in lead pots was rich in lead acetate, a sweet substance also called sugar of lead or sugar of Saturn, which is believed to have contributed to lead poisoning among the Roman aristocracy.– Lead acetate was a common sweetener even into the
Renaissance with notables such as Pope Clement II and Ludwig von Beethoven suspected as having died from consumption. (Carbonate of lead – white, or Venetian, lead - would be used into the 20th Century)
– Even after the substance’s use in food products was outlawed it’s use was difficult to trace until fairly modern times.

• In the Renaissance, glacial acetic acid was prepared through the dry distillation of certain metal acetates (the most noticeable one being copper(II) acetate).
• Today, most of the acetic acid used industrially is produced chemically
![Page 7: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
VA vs. acetic acid: chemical analysis
• “Volatile acidity” is often wrongly assumed to be the total acetic acid content of a wine
• Although generally interpreted as acetic acid content, a “traditional” VA analysis includes any acid, that can be steam-distilled (or more precisely, steam-stripped), that is present in the wine– CO2 (as carbonic acid), SO2 (as sulfurous acid), sorbate,
and lactic, formic, butyric, and propionic acids• If acetic acid is specifically measured, as by enzymatic –
spectrophotometric methods, results are strictly acetic acid
![Page 8: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
I’m Not A Cash Still!
• Most common apparatus – RD80 Volatile Acid Still
• Not really a “still”
![Page 9: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
VA vs. acetic acid: sensory analysis
• Acetic acid not as volatile as ethyl acetate• Acetaldehyde is also often present• Acetate is often called “acetic nose”– Wine concentrations range from 10 mg/L to 1200
mg/L– No legal limit
![Page 10: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
VA vs. acetic acid
• Some winemakers (including the late Emil Peynaud) believe the ethyl acetate component should be the legal indicator of wine spoilage– Previously, more difficult to measure analytically– Not as difficult with kits and spectrophotometry
• VA produced by lactic acid bacteria is often missing the ethyl acetate component (Henick-Kling, 1993)
![Page 11: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Acetic acid• Can be produced by Brett/Dekkera (but we are
going with surface - film formers)• Normal byproduct of Saccharomyces growth– Strains of S. cerevisiae have been shown to produce
acetic acid based on increased activity of the enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase
– Fugelsang (1993) reported elevated levels when in co-culture with spoilage yeasts
• Can increase as a result of extended aging (1yr) in new barrels– Hydrolysis of acetyl groups in wood hemicellulose
![Page 12: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Acetic acid
• Acetic acid can result from the oxidation of wine phenolics which produces hydrogen peroxide
• Which, in turn, oxides ethanol to acetaldehyde and then to acetic acid
![Page 13: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Legal limits are still based on “distillable” Volatile Acidity
• 0.98 g/L OIV• 1.4 g/L in red wine of this type of harvest (our
experiment)• Aroma threshold of acetic acid at around 1 g/L
![Page 14: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Acetic acid from anaerobic bacteria
• Heterofermentative Lactic Acid Bacteria ferment glucose with lactic acid, ethanol/acetic acid and carbon dioxide (CO2)as by-products
• Important to always remember the other contributors, other than surface organisms, to acetic acid
![Page 15: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Film Yeasts
• Under oxidative conditions, ethanol, glycerol, organic acids (esp. malic) can serve as growth media
• Can synthesize negative aroma compounds– Ethyl acetate– Acetoin (buttery cheese)
![Page 16: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Film Yeasts• Candida vini (formerly Candida mycoderma and
often incorrectly identified by Kombucha makers as Saccharomyces mycoderma)
• Pichia species• Saccharomyces cereviseae
• Growth may rapidly become pellicle• Yeasts can initially appear as floating flowers– “Flowers of wine”– dusty
![Page 17: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Saccharomyces cereviseae

Pichia kluyveri
![Page 20: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Acetic Acid Bacteria
• Present on the grapes and in the winery environment• Several genera and many species, most decline as
ethanol is produced• Acetobacter species survive through to aging, storage,
and bottling– Can survive periods of anaerobic conditions– Begin again with O2 added during fining, racking, stirring,
filtering, etc.– A. pasteurianus requires less O2 than A. aceti– Can survive in the bottle and regrow in days in an opened
bottle
![Page 21: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Acetobacter aceti
![Page 22: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Acetobacter pasteurianus
![Page 23: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A Fall Quarter Experiment
• Given oxidative conditions and headspace, would a late addition (post alcohol fermentation) of a commercial ML nutrient increase surface organism growth?
![Page 24: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A Fall Quarter Experiment
• Barrel – aged 2011 California Malbec• Controls • One group received commercial ML nutrient
at recommended dose• Organisms added:– Flor – forming S. cereviseae– Pichia kluyveri– Candida parapsolosis– Acetobacter aceti
![Page 25: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A note on Candida parapsilosis
• Most common yeast isolated from human hands and the most common cause of nail infections
![Page 26: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Nutrients added
• A malolactic fermentation nutrient at recommended addition– These are generally blends of “inactive” yeasts to
add amino acids, mineral cofactors, vitamins, cell wall polysaccharides, and cellulose
![Page 27: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A Fall Quarter Experiment• Visible surface film began
to form within one week in both control and “plus nutrients”
• Added organisms could be seen under the microscope
• Added organisms were quickly overwhelmed by our indigenous Acetobacter pasteurianus
![Page 28: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• By Week 5, our indigenous Acetobacter pasteurianus covered the surface of all containers
• No cells of any addition could be seen under the microscope

• Although there appear to be trends…. If we exclude the Base wine, and we should, t – tests indicate there is no difference in the data sets
![Page 31: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Drysdale and Fleet (1989) noted that the presence of Acetobacter resulted in stuck fermentations
• Doores(1993) found acetic acid to be inhibitory of Saccharomyces
• Acetobacter has been shown to be inhibitory of surface forming yeasts (Gilliland and Lacey, 1964)– Authors proposed some kind of antifungal was
produced
![Page 32: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Is there symbiosis?• Remember, ethyl acetate and acetaldehyde
were not measured and are not measured by Cash still or enzyme acetic
![Page 33: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Could this spoilage have been avoided by gassing the surface?
![Page 34: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Three Laws and the Real World
• Henry’s Law• Law of Partial Pressures• Ideal Gas Law• Leaking connections and fittings• Some efficacy in small containers (kegs)
![Page 35: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Could this spoilage have been prevented strictly through sanitation?
![Page 36: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• No. We can not hope to eliminate 100% of all organisms through normal sanitation
• All it takes is the headspace to favor them
![Page 37: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
SO2?
• Largely ineffective if headspace• Pichia and Candida species shown to be
resistant to as much as 3 mg/L molecular SO2– Pichia membranaefaciens is resistant to benzoate
up to 1.5 grams/Liter• Generally ineffective once the film is formed
(Thomas and Davenport, 1985)• Organisms create acetaldehyde, which binds
SO2
![Page 38: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Best Preventative Measure
• Maintain topped tanks and barrels– Depriving organisms of oxygen and space to grow
![Page 39: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Avoid moldy and damaged grapes• Good sanitation helps• Use of slow cellar temperatures can slow
growth– Less than 60F (15C) can slow growth– Temperatures of 47F or less may inhibit growth
![Page 40: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Conclusions
• Symbiosis?– Possible chemical differences early. Aerobic
bacteria will win the day
• Did nutrient additions do anything?• Number one component of creation of acetic
acid was oxygen/headspace
![Page 41: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What to do when you forgot about the headspace
• All methods carry some risk• Blending• Refermentation– Oxidatively growing yeasts can utilize acetic acid
as a carbon source• Reverse osmosis– Flavor and aroma modification and stripping
• Ion exchange– Flavor and aroma modification and stripping
![Page 42: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Smell the glass at the side table• DO NOT TASTE!
![Page 43: Film Organisms: Acetic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts Michael S. Ramsey Teaching Laboratory Manager UCD mramsey@ucdavis.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc95503460f94abed07/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
