Plants produce toxic substances to defend themselves against herbivores. In a new study, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena and the University of Münster, Germany, ...

The diterpene glycosides studied here could be potential candidates for further investigations. "Frassomics" -- a new powerful tool to study interactions between organisms.

Serving the chemical, life science, and laboratory worlds ...

The diterpene originates from pine resin collected by the bees. Due to low natural yield, industrial synthesis or bioreactor modification of pine resin is proposed for scalable production.

The coffee in the break room at work could contain high levels of substances that elevate levels of 'bad' cholesterol in your blood – but there's a simple way to reduce them. Diterpenes are compounds ...

For comparison, espresso samples contained the highest diterpene levels (up to 2,447 mg/L of cafestol), while boiled coffee also showed high concentrations (939 mg/L).

Diterpene levels were also high in espresso, but measurements varied widely from machine to machine, according to the study. “We were not surprised by the main results that brewing machine ...
