Abstract
High performance thin layer chromatography with automated multiple dev elopment was used to determine 2,3-butanediol levels in wine produced by high and low acetoin-forming strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A n inverse correlation between acetoin and 2,3-butanediol content was f ound suggesting a leaky mutation in acetoin reductase of the low 2,3-b utanediol producing strains.
