Geosmin as a source of the earthy-musty smell in fruits, vegetables and water: Origins, impact on foods and water, and review of the removing techniques.
Liato V, Aïder M. Liato V, et al. Chemosphere. 2017 Aug;181:9-18. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2017.04.039. Epub 2017 Apr 8. Chemosphere. 2017. PMID: 28414956 Review.
As the origin of geosmin is fungal, conventional control techniques used for geosmin prevention are limited to ventilation, improving the integrity of plants and use of storage temperatures around 1 C in a humidity-controlled environment. ...Consequently, the import …
