The microbiota of cork and yellow stain as a model for a new route for the synthesis of chlorophenols and chloroanisoles from the microbial degradation of suberin and/or lignin by Marina Ruiz-Muñoz, Ignacio Ontañón, Rebeca Cobos, Carla Calvo-Peña, Rebeca Otero-Suárez, Vicente Ferreira, Jordi Roselló, Juan José R. Coque

“…Cork sometimes contains 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, a compound that, at a concentration of ng/L, produces an unpleasant musty odor that destroys the organoleptic properties of wine and results in enormous economic losses for wineries and cork industries. Cork can exhibit a defect known as yellow stain, which is associated with high levels of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole. …”

Farm factors associated with increased free fatty acids in bulk tank milk by Hannah M. Woodhouse, Stephen J. LeBlanc, Trevor J. DeVries, Karen J. Hand, David F. Kelton

“…ABSTRACT: Elevated concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA) in bulk tank milk are a milk quality concern in the dairy industry. Hydrolysis of triacylglycerols (TAG) yields FFA, and milk with ≥1.20 mmol FFA/100 g of milk fat is associated with undesirable characteristics, such as off-flavor, rancidity, reduced foam stability, and inhibited cheese-milk coagulation. …”
