2-Methylisoborneol is an organic compound that can lead to an unpleasant odor in drinking water. This compound comes from blue-green algae and actinomycete bacteria which produces a musty smell. It is not considered to be harmful to human health, but it is easily detected by our noses. In fact, we can often detect it at levels of only 10-15 parts per trillion.
Despite not being harmful to human health, 2-Methylisoborneol is a problem in the seafood industry. This is because it has been known to cause “dirty” or “muddy” flavors in catfish and crawfish. This can lead to customer dissatisfaction, quality control issues, and product wastage. At Engineering Performance Solutions, we provide accurate and reliable 2-methylisoborneol testing to clients throughout the country.
