Calculating the cod stock

Cod is one of the most important and popular food fish in the North Atlantic. However, it has been swimming on the brink of overfishing for years due to its popularity as well as climate change. To protect against this, catch quotas have been established based on stock estimates by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES).

New method identifies taste molecules

Many foods such as cheese, yoghurt, beer, yeast dough or soy sauce have a special characteristic taste and are therefore very popular. So-called non-volatile substances in particular are the basic building blocks for these unique taste profiles. These building blocks in turn consist of fragments of long protein molecules that are formed during the microbial or enzymatic conversion (fermentation) of milk or cereal proteins.
