· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of 2,4,6-Trichloroanisole .
2,4,6-Trichloroanisole ( TCA ) is a fungal metabolite of 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol with the chemical formula C 7 H 5 Cl 3 O . TCA has a distinct musty smell that is most evident when wines develop cork taint. It is formed by the methylation of 2,4,6-trichloropenol. Naturally, it is suspected to be produced when airborne fungi and bacteria are presented with chlorinated phenolic compounds.
