Wake Up and Smell the Infected Bees: Volatile Cues of Vairimorpha Infection in Honey Bees
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Infection can modify host volatile emissions, yet effects in adult honey bees remain unexplored. Using dynamic headspace sampling and GC × GC–MS, we show that Vairimorpha spp. infection significantly alters the volatile profile of adult worker honey bees over a 14‐day time series, producing stage‐specific shifts in multivariate odour structure.

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.Post‐consumer rigid polyethylene waste was characterized for odor‐active compounds using sensory analysis, comparative odor extract dilution analysis, and 2D‐GC‐MS/O. Twenty‐eight odorants were identified, with four reported for the first time. A direct comparison with polypropylene suggests polymer‐specific adsorption–desorption dynamics governed by ...

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Instrumental characterisation of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), responsible for off‐aroma, is mainly centred on gas chromatography‐based techniques. Despite previous reviews that have addressed the chemical compounds and biosynthetic pathways of off‐aroma generation, to date, there is a lack of a comprehensive review that critically ...
