Currently, there is no standard set for VOCs, but studies have found that levels of several organics average 2 to 5 times higher indoors than outdoors. If something smells, there's a good chance it's ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are essential airborne signals or odors that enable plants to communicate with other organisms and plants across short and long distances. A key aspect of this ...

Similar to human pheromones, all plants emit signaling chemicals. The chemicals, called volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are ubiquitous. The smell of freshly cut grass is caused by a VOC. Ever ...

Eating quality (EQ) of rice has a complex nature composed of physicochemical properties. Nevertheless, breeding programs evaluating EQ through sensory test or taste-evaluation instruments have been ...

Volatile compounds in breastmilk (BM) likely influence flavor learning and, through the cephalic phase response, metabolism, and digestion. Little is known about the volatile compounds present in ...

So-called indirect greenhouse gases, including carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds, aren’t covered by climate ...

Goldenrods that evolved in the presence of herbivores release volatile chemicals that trigger defenses in neighboring plants of their species, even those that are genetically unrelated. Researchers ...

Regulatory expectations under EC 1935/2004 require attention to migrants from food-contact materials, yet “bio-based” ...

Plant volatile organic compounds are elusive and influential chemicals that are an essential part of how plants react with their environment and that also affect Earth's climate globally. A new review ...
