The release of ferulic acid and the subsequent thermal or enzymatic decarboxylation to 4-vinylguaiacol are inherent to the beer production process. Phenolic, medicinal, or clove-like flavors originating from 4-vinylguaiacol frequently occur in beer made with wheat or wheat malt. To

A capillary electrophoretic method has been developed for the separation and determination of vanillin, ferulic acid, vanillic acid and 4-vinylguaiacol in Japanese spirituous liquor. These phenolic compounds were extracted from Japanese spirituous liquor by solid-phase extractioin and were successfully separated

In order to utilize phenolic compounds in unused biomass resources, the metabolic pathway of ferulic acid by way of a white-rot fungus, Schizophyllum commune, was investigated. Ferulic acid was immediately degraded, and the formation of 4-vinyl guaiacol was confirmed by

The formation of 4-vinylguaiacol, guaiacol, and phenol during coffee roasting was monitored in real-time, using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization and time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A model is proposed, based on two connected reaction channels. One channel, termed the "low activation energy"

A new strain Bacillus coagulans BK07 was isolated from decomposed wood-bark, based on its ability to grow on ferulic acid as a sole carbon source. This strain rapidly decarboxylated ferulic acid to 4-vinylguaiacol, which was immediately converted to vanillin and
