Alcohol , and phenylalanine

Deamination 17 Examples of deamination and decarboxylation include conversion of amino acids to fusel oil (leucine to isoamyl alcohol, isoleucine to amyl alcohol, and phenylalanine to phenyl ethanol). Fusel oil formation is a normal function of all yeast fermentations (in alcoholic beverages, levels range from trace to 2200 parts per million). Deamination Glutamic acid to gamma-OH-butyric acid (S. cerevisiae). 

An alternative biosynthetic pathway towards SA was hypothesized to exist after experiments with labeled benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, and phenylalanine resulted in lower incorporation of the label in SA than...
