I’m proud to share that my first paper is officially published! Writing this comprehensive review was a great experience with great co-authors, and I certainly learned a lot about the writing process. 🤓 Our review, “The Good, the Bad, and the Fungus: Insights into the Relationship Between Plants, Fungi, and Oomycetes in Hydroponics,” sheds light on the various roles of fungi and oomycetes in hydroponic systems — how they can be harmful, but also how they can be useful — to support the industry’s shift toward CEA. Feel free to give it a read!

Has d-Limonene been dethroned as the source of citrus canna aroma? Learn more about Tropicannasulfur Compounds in Part 3 of our Science of Exotic anthology. Our newest white paper, The Science of Exotic III: The Trio of Tropicanna, challenges the traditional belief that d-Limonene alone creates these bold citrus and tropical notes. Explore these fascinating findings and their implications for the future of canna aroma research through our latest White Paper.

If you use commercial carrageenans, the specified carrageenan type may not tell you the whole story about the structural composition or the functionality. We characterized several commercial samples in detail by using established analytical methods, rheology, and a newly developed enzymatic-chromatographic approach. Read more in our new paper: "Commercially available carrageenans show broad variation in their structure, composition, and functionality" Bravo Julia Hale! Thanks for the collaboration Julian Gerhäuser & Volker Gaukel and thanks to Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation for funding!

Mature cheese for the lactose intolerant. Like 3500-years-old-mature. Cheese remnants have been found smeared on the heads and necks of Bronze age Xiaohe mummies in far west China. The cheese scraps contained biochemical markers of goats, fermenting microbes, ruminant milk and lactic acid bacteria. (No mouse markers?) This suggests that the ancient production methods significantly reduced the lactose content of the cheese—welcome news for local Xiaohe people, who, based on their genetics, were likely lactose intolerant.
