Co-Occurrence of Taste and Odor Compounds and Cyanotoxins in Cyanobacterial Blooms: Emerging Risks to Human Health?

Microorganisms, 2023
Cyanobacteria commonly form large blooms in waterbodies; they can produce cyanotoxins, with toxic effects on humans and animals, and volatile compounds, causing bad tastes and odors (T&O) at naturally occurring low concentrations.

Accumulation of Geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol in European Whitefish Coregonus Lavaretus and Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus Mykiss in RAS

Fishes, 2020
Geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB)-induced off-flavors can cause serious problems in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), such as delayed harvest and increased production costs, but also damage producers’ reputation.

Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds in Selected Strains of Cyanobacteria

Journal of Chemistry, 2015
Microalgal biomass can be used in creating various functional food and feed products, but certain species of microalgae and cyanobacteria are known to produce various compounds causing off-flavour.

Removal of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol by biological filtration

Water Science and Technology, 2004
The quality of drinking water is sometimes diminished by the presence of certain compounds that can impart particular tastes or odours. One of the most common and problematic types of taste and odour is the earthy/musty odour produced by geosmin (trans-1, 10-dimethyl-trans-9-decalol) and MIB (2-methylisoborneol).

Musty and Moldy Taint in Wines: A Review

Beverages, 2020
The literature about musty and moldy taint—the so-called cork taint—in wines is varied because there are many different molecules involved in this wine defect.

Identification and functional analysis of genes controlling biosynthesis of 2-methylisoborneol [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
To identify the genes for biosynthesis of the off-flavor terpenoid alcohol, 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), the key genes encoding monoterpene cyclase were located in bacterial genome databases by using a combination of hidden Markov models, protein–family search, and the sequence alignment of their gene products.

Mercury and Organic Pollutants Removal from Aqueous Solutions by Heterogeneous Photocatalysis with ZnO-Based Materials

Molecules, 2023
The removal of four Contaminants of Emerging Concern, namely bisphenol A, sulfamethoxazole, diclofenac and benzotriazole; two odorous compounds, geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol, frequently detected in recirculating aquaculture systems; and Hg(II) was ...

Biological Degradation of Musty Odor Compounds, 2-Methylisoborneol and Geosmin, in a Bio-Activated Carbon Filter

, 1988
The musty odor compounds, 2-methylisoborneol(MIB) and geosmin, were degraded during filtration within a bio-activated carbon filter seeded with Bacillussubtilis. More than 50% of both compounds adsorbed on the carbon were degraded.

Geosmin and 2-Methylisoborneol Implicated as a Cause of Muddy Odor and Flavor in Commercial Fish from Cedar Lake, Manitoba

, 1980
A muddy flavor and odor in commercial fish from Cedar Lake resulted in the closure of the commercial fishing season. Gas–liquid chromatography indicated the presence of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol which are known to cause a muddy flavor in fish.
