Lou und Jonas sind in der wohlverdienten Sommerpause. Deswegen präsentieren wir Dir hier einen echten Cheers!-Klassiker: Endlich! Der Sommer steht vor der Tür. Lou verrät Dir, welche Rebsorten sich perfekt für eine erfrischende Schorle an einem lauen Sommerabend eignen und warum auch Rosé und Rotwein dabei nicht fehlen dürfen – aber Obacht: Rosé ist nicht gleich Rosé. Außerdem hat Lou einen Aperitif-Tipp für Dich und erklärt Dir, was es mit dem Trendgetränk „Pet Nat“ auf sich hat (und warum böse Zungen ihn mit Federweißer vergleichen). Wein der Woche: Lamera Grillo Sizilien https://bit.ly/3K6cgN3 Angebaut im sonnigen Sizilien besticht dieser kräftige Grillo mit seinem frisch fruchtigen Geschmack und einer mittel bis stark ausgeprägten Säurestruktur. Leichte Orangen- und Thymiannoten runden den trockenen Weißwein ab und verschönern den Alltag durch eine Portion italienisches Lebensgefühl. Schmeckt besonders gut zu Pasta, Meeresfrüchten oder Grillgemüse. Frage der Woche: Kann ich aufgrund der Herkunftsangabe auf dem Etikett bzw. auf der Homepage der Winzer:innen sicher ausschließen, dass ich wieder einen nassen Hund in meinem Weinglas bade bzw. was sind die Ursachen für diesen unangenehmen Geruch? Und wie erkenne ich das vor dem Kauf? „Ich vermute stark, dass es bei dem beschriebenen Geruch „nach nassem Hund“ um Geosmin handelt. Geosmin wird von Mikroorganismen im Boden produziert und ist ein bicyclischer tertiärer Alkohol. Je nach Ausprägung riecht Geosmin erdig bis stark muffig. Den Geruch nach Geosmin, in abgeschwächter Form, kennen wir z.B. auch, wenn Regen auf heißen Asphalt fällt. Wir sagen dazu „Das riecht nach Sommer!“. Dieser Geruch heißt übrigens auch Petrichor. Wir Menschen reagieren auf Geosmin hochsensibel. Je nach Ausprägung wird der Geruch toleriert, in krassen Fällen gilt der Geruch als Weinfehler und erinnert oft an einen Korkschmecker – selbst wenn der Wein gar keinen Korkverschluss hat! Grund dafür sollen u.a. heiße Jahrgänge und langanhaltende Trockenheit sein. Vor dem Kauf erkennen kann man das aber leider nicht.“ – Lou Genau das Richtige für Deine Weinprobe und zum Üben von Verkostungen: Das Cheers!

Jeder und jede kennt ihn, den typischen Duft des Sommerregens. Für den Duft verantwortlich sind Öle der Pflanzen und aktive Bakterien in der Erde. Pflanze geben verschiedene ätherische Öle ab. Wenn es für längere Zeit warm und trocken ist, entsteht auf den Pflanzenteilen und auf dem Boden ein richtiger Film dieser Öle. Wenn es nach einer trockenen Phase wieder regnet, werden diese Öle aufgewirbelt und man riecht den typischen Duft des Sommerregens. Eine weitere Duftnote kommt vom Geosmin. Dies ist ein Stoff, der durch Bakterien in der Erde produziert wird, wenn die Erde feucht wird.
Get that brolly out! It may feel deeply counter-intuitive - but rainy days could offer a host of health and mood-lifting benefits. Rain improves air quality, literally washing fine particulate pollution away, and rainfall also releases Geosmin, a fragrant compound which is linked with relaxation and increased serotonin levels. What's more, Professor Michael Terman, from Columbia University in New York, introduces Michael to negative air ions created after rainfall. He is researching how high levels of negative ions could potentially reduce stress, stave off depression and maybe even boost your immune system. Meanwhile, our volunteer Dennis steps outside and embraces the rain. New episodes will be released on Wednesdays, but if you're in the UK, listen to new episodes, a week early, first on BBC Sounds: bbc.in/3zqa6BB Producer: Nija Dalal-Small Science Producer: Catherine Wyler Assistant Producer: Gulnar Mimaroglu Trainee Assistant Producer: Toni Arenyeka Executive Producer:: Zoe Heron A BBC Studios production for BBC Sounds / BBC Radio 4.
Notes: Catherine Young, a poet deeply rooted in the Driftless region of Wisconsin, USA, gives us a wistful melody in the ancient Dorian mode -- a minor scale that has a beautiful, lifted sixth degree that gives it a particular flavor you'll come to know well by singing this with me. In the northern hemisphere, fall is upon us -- the equinox approaching -- and this song carries with it the beauty of this time, and the grief of letting go of summer. I teach the melody first, just letting my mouth form shapes to really get to know this beautiful tune -- you can create your own shapes, and then round it with me, or on your own -- or stay with the original melody. So many options! Songwriter Info: Catherine Young is a writer and performing artist whose work is infused with a keen sense of place. She is author of the ecopoetry collection Geosmin and the environmental memoir Black Diamonds. Her weekly podcast Landward:Readings of Place and Season is available online from WDRT. Rooted in farm life, Catherine lives with her family in Wisconsin's Driftless Area where she is totally in love with meandering streams. She holds concern for water and deeply believes in the use of story and art as tools for transforming the world.

Salty talks: Conversations on Sustainable Aquaculture in Maine
Today I was joined by Robert (Bobby) Harrington - a Research Associate at the Aquaculture Research Institute in Orono, ME to learn about Geosmin and 2 Methylisoborneol (MIB). Tune in to hear about how these compounds present themselves in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) and how Bobby's research is helping to eliminate "off-flavor" in fish tissue farmed in these systems.Follow on Instagram!
Es ist ein besonderer Duft. Der erdige Geruch des Bodens nach einem Regenschauer. Dieser typische Erdgeruch wird durch ein kleines Molekül namens Geosmin verursacht. Geosmin wird von Bodenbakterien gebildet, vor allem von Streptomyceten. Es gibt wohl keine anderen Bakterien, die so wertvoll für den Menschen sind. Denn Streptomyceten liefern fast 70% aller Antibiotika. Der erdig-muffige Geosmin-Geruch hat vielfältige ökologische Aufgaben. Es ist ein Geruch des Lebens - und des Todes … Weitere Infos auf www.BiOfunk.net

This is one of the best of our Nature is the Cure episodes because it talks about the beneficial effects of nature when you inhale it! We all know how nostalgic smells can be. Any time you come across smells like brewing coffee or cookies baking in the oven it promotes memories and thoughts of positive moments in your past associated with those smells.Nature can has the same positive benefits and you most likely won't even know it's happening. A brief rundown of these benefits are reviewed in the episode and include...improved immune responses, especially with Natural Killer cells which can help fight against cancer and other diseasesanit-imflammatory benefits- specifically forest terpenes can reduce inflammatory stress on the bodyforest air can create a relaxation response on the body and reduce cortisol levelsphytoncides which are tree essential oils can enhance sleepIn fact the breathing in of nature has a higher positive effect than some of the other senses.Humans are also pretty remarkable when it comes to smelling Geosmin in the air as it comes from soil organisms and it can help us smell water. It is said that the human nose can pick up on 7 drops of geosmin in a swimming pool~ this definitely came in handy back in the early days.A quote from Florence Willliam's book states: The nose the direct pathway to the brain - small particulate air pollution causes lesions in the brain - “trees in the US remove 17.4 million tones of air pollution per year providing $6.8 billion dollars in human health benefits.” Check out Florence Williams' website HEREWe hope you enjoy this episode!!Thanks for your support of our podcast.

Smädelserna flyger! Ledin jämförs med Lundell, Simple Minds med veckans ord off notes och veckans destilleri – Mortlach – tar slut i en orgie av brinnande hår och gummistövlar. Däremellan häcklas Hasse Nilsson och det pratas både pipetter och sampleflaskor. Och blod. Fast blod är bra. Det där med Mareld: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mareld Men det var ju inte High Coast utan Mackmyra som hade gett ut en Mareld: https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/42506/mackmyra-moment-mareld Den fuljer den inre rusten och åker längs med kusten är alltså Tomas Ledin, i låten Släpp hästarna fria. Icke Uffepuffe, som ligger David närmare om hjärtat. Vad var det i glaset då? Jeroen körde Talisker 10: https://www.systembolaget.se/produkt/sprit/talisker-41101/ Mathias hade Bushmills 16: https://www.systembolaget.se/produkt/sprit/bushmills-8209801/ David hade orökig Glann ar Mor och rökig Kornog PX, från samma destilleri. Han vet dock inte några batchnummer, men typ denna: https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/152755/glann-ar-mor-single-malt Whiskybase har bara en Kornog PX men den är fatstark så denna var det inte i Davids glas: https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/91482/kornog-px-finish-cask-strength-16 Lite gnäll rörande den där Hasse Nilssons ord om gammal ek… Hasse Nilssons ord om Victoria och tsarfamiljen och så vidare som David hängde upp sig på hittar ni här: https://www.alltomwhisky.se/2021/10/varldens-dyraste-whisky-billig-i-sverige/ Lyssnarfråga om andra fora än fejjan samt om sampleflaskor Det gamla whiskyforum hittar ni här: https://www.whiskyforum.se/ Sedan bör vi ju lägga till reddit till Insta och Twitter som David nämnde. Nordicpack: https://www.nordicpack.com/ Ampulla (men tilltrasslat big time av Brexit…): https://www.ampulla.co.uk/ Dryckesglas: https://www.dryckesglas.se/whiskytillbehor/sampleflaskor/ Veckans destilleri: Mortlach, äntligen! Det finns mycket att länka om Mortlach. Se till exempel: The whisky professor, ”The Mortlach conundrum”, 21/10 2015: https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/ask-the-professor/7498/the-mortlach-conundrum/ För den som behärskar tyska: Peter Moser, ”SRT19: Mortlach, die Wee Witchie und eine 2,81-fache Destillation”, 7/7 2019: https://fosm.de/srt19-mortlach-die-wee-witchie-und-eine-281-fache-destillation/ Teemu Strengell, ”Triple distillation in Scotland”, 18/3 2012: https://whiskyscience.blogspot.com/2012/03/triple-distillation-in-scotland.html Mortlachs hemsida: https://www.malts.com/en-row/brands/mortlach Dram good whiskys Mortlach: https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/73683/mortlach-1998-ct …och då hann vi inte ens prata om Wee witchie, Mortlachs mest kända panna…! Veckans ord: off notes Exempel på off notes som produktionsfel, från Davids bokmanus: ”Ett exempel på ett ämne som inte ska finnas i whisky och som ger kraftiga off notes även vid låga koncentrationer är naftalen, som innebär en smak av malkulor. Geosmin, som ger toner av unken jord och som härör från malt som ansatts av svampinfektioner under lagringen, är ett annat exempel. Ett tredje exempel är trikloranisol (TCA), som ger unkna och mögliga toner. TCA kan härröra både från dåliga fat och från korkskada. Listan av kemiska substanser som utgör off notes kan göras lång.” Pär Caldenby skrev 2013 en bra kort text om off notes på Smögens whiskyblogg, sedermera borttagen från den hemsidan. Men vi har koll och använder wayback machine för att läsa vi: https://web.archive.org/web/20151001061527/http://www.smogenwhisky.se/2013/11/off-notes/ ”Tysk indian” av Olle Ljungström, från albumet Världens räddaste man: https://open.spotify.com/track/6wyUs0IJRu3RMt5kyqz4g9?si=025f46008eef4d6c David citerade Micke Tidermans ord om doft och smak på den där Springbanken som doftade helt totalt skogstokigt. Inte 100% korrekt men så var det ju fritt ur minnet också. Läs vidare här: http://tjederswhisky.se/springbank-12-yo-blackadder-raw-cask/ Avslutningsvis, fantastiskt roliga smaknoter från Rasmus Christensen Vi har varit inne på hans blogg Skotskt Taake tidigare just för hur underbart han dissar dålig whisky men här är de igen, de roligaste dissningarna i whiskyvärlden: Om en kambodjansk whisky, bland annat dessa ord: ”Smak Men inni helvete da! For det første: Noen må da ha pisset i dette en eller annen gang i løpet av produksjonsprosessen?” http://skotsktaake.com/?p=6254 ”Liker du lukten av epleeddik, våt papp og halvråtne kirsebær?

If it rained where you are today, you may have noticed that delightful earthy smell. It's wonderful, right? Well, you can thank microbes for making a chemical called geosmin.But what is geosmin, what microbes make it, and why? Here, I'll answer those questions, share a few places you may encounter geosmin without realizing it, and hopefully not disappoint you too much when I reveal the context where geosmin can be a problem. After listening to this episode, you'll be armed with detailed knowledge about this microbially-produced perfume that you can share with your friends so they too can find delight in the microbial world.JOYFUL MICROBE SHOW NOTES: https://joyfulmicrobe.com/geosmin/JOYFUL MICROBE TWITTER: https://twitter.com/joyfulmicrobe/JOYFUL MICROBE INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/justineldees/GEOSMIN MERCH: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/92355353/
Nach einer längeren warmen und trockenen Phase hat Sommerregen den typischen Geruch, der sich Petrichor nennt. Der Duft des Sommerregens besteht aus zwei Komponenten: Pflanzen bilden bei warmem und trockenem Wetter ätherischen Öle, welche vom Boden aufgenommen werden. Diese Öle werden von den Regentropfen aufgewirbelt und in der Luft verteilt. Ausserdem produzieren Bakterien in der Erde den Duftstoff Geosmin, sobald die Erde feucht wird. Das Zusammenspiel von den ätherischen Ölen und dem Geosmin ergibt den typischen Regenduft.

#plantsmakepeoplehappy, this hashtag has almost 8 million posts so far and there's a reason for it. It's just true. Plants, nature, and the act of witnessing life itself make people happy, more connected, and more empowered. The plant/person connection is hard to explain, yet everyone knows it. We all feel this connection to our plant collection. Our hearts swell with new growth, and sometimes even grieve losses. Over the last year and a half, I've dove rather deeply into exploring this plant-person connection, reading several incredibly inspiring books one being written by our special guest today. Dr Sue Stuart Smith took me on a journey of this plant/person connection and made me feel so seen.

Herr Künzler aus Kloten hat folgende Frage: „Weshalb gibt es bei beginnendem Regen den immer gleichen Duft in der Luft? Meist fällt mir das auf, wenn es vorher heiss war und frischer Regen auf die Gartenplatten oder den Asphalt tropft. Das Regenparfüm heisst Petrichor. Entscheidend sind zwei Bestandteile: Einerseits Äetherische Oele von Pflanzen, andererseits sogenanntes Geosmin. Geosmin wird von Bakterien im Boden produziert, sobald es feuchter wird. Geosmin riecht typisch nach Boden und Erde und ist für die leicht muffige Komponente im Regenduft verantwortlich. Nicht nur wir Menschen reagieren auf Petrichor, bei Kängurus in Australien wird sogar die Brunst vom Regenduft ausgelöst.
Warum riecht der Regen in diesen Tagen besonders gut? Warum riecht Regen überhaupt? Und warum erforscht sogar eine der weltweit bedeutendsten Universitäten den „göttlichen Atem der Erde“?

Newly-minted PhD Thom Booth took time from his busy schedule (moving to Australia!) to tell me all about his PhD research. Thom studies natural products discovery, which honestly I didn't know what that was either. But don't worry, he does a great job breaking down his research in this episode!

Amanda talks to more WA based regenerative agriculture champions and is terrified by irrefutable data presented on the state of industrial agriculture by Darren Qualman. On a more positive note she meets Brent Burns from Landsave Organics and NZ soil expert, Nicole Masters who introduces her to the teemingly fabulous world of soil micro-organisms. She is instantly hooked.Along the way Amanda draws strong parallels between agriculture and medicine as she engages with a consciousness-based health modality called BodyTalk with a no-nonsense former nurse called Morag Bromfield. She suspects her life will be forever changed by this extraordinary health system and one word, Geosmin.
Starting Sunday morning off right at Goodness 2016 with the best in Modern Classical music.
What? Another full-length show this week? Yep! We recently acquired a BJCP-curated sensory kit from the Siebel Institute, and decided to record and share our mostly horrible tasting experiences with all of you.
