- Ladybugs may be cute, but watch out when they get near wine
03-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Ladybugs produce a foul-smelling liquid that can be inadvertently processed along with grapes and taint the aroma and flavor of wine. Researchers at Iowa State University say they have identified several compounds that are responsible for the noxious odor, a finding that could lead to new strategies to eliminate the offensive compounds and improve wine quality. The study will be presented in March at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Chicago.
