| | (+/-)-GEOSMIN Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | Geosmin is a major volatile component of beet essence, also determined to be the potent earthy odor contaminant of fish, beans, water. | | Uses | (±)-Geosmin solution is commonly used in the odorant removal/degradation studies in the water and food chemistry. | | Uses | (±)-Geosmin has been used as a standard for GC-MS based analytical techniques. Geosmin has also been used to study its adsorption on activated carbon. | | Definition | ChEBI: (+)-geosmin is a geosmin. It is an enantiomer of a (-)-geosmin. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | (±)-Geosmin is produced by Streptomyces coelicolor and cyanobacteria. |
