#The chemistry behind the character of bourbon, scotch and ryewhiskeys have captivated long the senses of connoisseurs
whether with smokiness and a whiff of vanilla or a spicy character with hints of caramel and now the emerging chemistry of brown spirits is proving that they have distinct chemical signatures to match the complex combinations of grains barrels aging and other
With sales of boutique bourbons and other small-batch whiskeys booming the chemical fingerprinting of whiskeys was the topic of a talk at the 246th National Meeting
& Exposition of the American Chemical Society held recently in Indianapolis. Thomas Collins Ph d. who presented the research just a few hours from the home of some of the nation's best-known distilleries noted that his team's work profiling 60 American whiskeys has resulted in a treasure trove of information that could prove useful for whiskey-makers
Whiskeys'chemical profiles could be used for distillers'quality assurance or process improvement programs said Collins research director at the University of California-Davis Food safety and Measurement Facility.
Using chemistry's latest analytical tools Collins'team found that a single whiskey sample can contain hundreds of nonvolatile compounds the ones that tend to stay in the liquid rather than evaporate off.
The deliberate tasteful chemistry experiment begins with dense American white oak wood usually harvested from forests in the South
But not all varieties of whiskey tested were identified easily through chemical profiling Collins noted. Though the ratios of grains used to make them differ significantly bourbons
and rye whiskeys made in the same distillery developed chemical signatures that looked more like each other than those of bourbons and rye whiskeys respectively of another producer.
Collins'presentation was part of a two-day symposium called Polyphenolic Chemistry in Food Science: Flavor Color and Biofunctional Properties.

Zhu said the findings suggest that development of new pesticides should focus on chemicals that shut down or mute genes in the cuticle that thwart today's pesticides.
We need to combine as many chemical and non-chemical approaches as we have to get rid of the infestation.
She cited specifically integrated pest management for bedbugs approaches in which careful use of pesticides combines with other common-sense measures.

When the mixture is added to soil it boosts the population of microorganisms responsible for nitrification which is essential for plant nutrition.

#Common agricultural chemicals shown to impair honey bees healthcommercial honey bees used to pollinate crops are exposed to a wide variety of agricultural chemicals including common fungicides

On average the pollen samples contained 9 different agricultural chemicals including fungicides insecticides herbicides and miticides.
Sublethal levels of multiple agricultural chemicals were present in every sample with one sample containing 21 different pesticides.
In the study's most surprising result bees that were fed the collected pollen samples containing chlorothonatil were nearly three times more likely to be infected by Nosema than bees that were exposed not to these chemicals said Jeff Pettis research leader of the USDA's Bee Research
The chemicals compromise bees'immune systems but the damage is less than it would be if mites were left unchecked.
