Technical specification
Assessment

Amount of flavour per capsule
3.9 µg per capsule

Threshold
The flavour threshold of 2-bromophenol in beer is 100 ng / l.

Origins
Bromophenol taints can arise due to external contamination of packaging materials. Such problems are especially associated with use of recycled wood and cardboard. Fireproofing materials also present a risk.

Confusions
Bromophenol taints are confused by professional beer tasters with the following flavour compounds:
2,3-Dichlorophenol
4-Vinyl guaiacol
2,4,6-Tribromoanisole

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

CAS registry number
The CAS registry number for 2-bromophenol is 95-56-7.

Other names
bromophenol
o-bromophenol
ortho-bromophenol

Remarks
Bromophenolic taints can be caused by several compounds, of which 2-bromophenol is only one. The flavour produced by this compound is typical of the group.
