Good earth: Brown chemists show origin of soil-scented geosmin
Date:9/16/2007

Jiaoyang Jiang, a Brown graduate student in the Department of Chemistry and lead author of the journal article, said microbiologists working in water purification plants will be most interested in knowing the origins of geosmin. By understanding precisely how the substance is synthesized, Jiang said, these experts may find a way to block it avoiding the foul taste that keeps people away from the tap.

Geosmin may smell good in the garden, but not in the glass, she said.
