BACKGROUND Monoterpenes are important contributors to grape and wine aroma. Moreover, certain monoterpenes have been shown to display health benefits with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer or hypotensive properties amongst others. The aim of this study was to construct self-aromatizing wine yeasts to overproduce de novo these plant metabolites in wines. RESULTS Expression of the Oc...

The title compound, C(15)H(15)NO(2)S(3), exists in a bicyclic form, with resonance contributions from two monocyclic forms, each without a second S-S bond. The trithiapentalene heterocyclic ring system is planar, with a mean deviation of 0.014 (2) Å from the mean plane, and is inclined to the plane of the attached phenyl ring at an angle of 17.24 (7)°.

The two monoterpenes, ?3-carene and ?-pinene, have very similar chemical structures, which leads to the assumption that formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is also similar. This study ...
