Enzymatic Synthesis of Demethylated Sesquiterpenes From 14‐nor‐Farnesyl Pyrophosphate
European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.The substrate analog 14‐nor‐FPP was synthesised and enzymatically converted with 10 bacterial and fungal sesquiterpene synthases, resulting in the isolation of 12 demethylated sesquiterpenes in yields up to 17%. In most cases the demethyl analogs of the FPP‐derived natural products were obtained, but also different products showing modified ...

Why do food and drink smell like earth? [PDF]
, 2007 Fungi have long been associated with earthy odours. One of the main contributors to this odour is geosmin, a sesquiterpenoid metabolite produced by soil living fungi. Some food commodities are liable to contamination by geosmin producing fungi.

Photocatalytic Destruction of Geosmin Using Novel Pelleted Titanium Dioxide [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Oxidation Technologies, 2008 AbstractGeosmin is produced by cyanobacteria and actinomycetes in surface waters. It causes undesirable earthy off-flavours in freshwater fish and is a major concern for the drinking water industry.

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Tastes and odours in potable water:perception versus reality [PDF]
, 1997 Tastes and odours are amongst the few water quality standards immediately apparent to a consumer and, as a result, account for most consumer complaints about water quality.

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Microbially derived geosmin causes an earthy off‐flavor in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, produced in land‐based systems, placing these products at risk for rejection. Therefore, a study was conducted to investigate the geosmin sensory threshold in market‐size Atlantic salmon.

Potentiometric E-Tongue System for Geosmin/Isoborneol Presence Monitoring in Drinkable Water
Sensors, 2020 A potentiometric E-tongue system based on low-selective polymeric membrane and chalcogenide-glass electrodes is employed to monitor the taste-and-odor-causing pollutants, geosmin (GE) and 2-methyl-isoborneol (MIB), in drinkable water.
