*Diverse closely related molecules are present, many of them being oxidation products.<br />
†The balance is made up of organic acids (e.g. citric, acetic, malic, etc.) <strong>and</strong> various other<br />
fermentation secondary products (e.g. glycerol, propanol, ethyl acetate, iso-amyl acetate).<br />
These various components are much more signi cant for avour than wholesomeness.
