    However, bacterial growth is still possible, so chemical preservatives are added to most wines. [1] [4] Typical chemical preservatives include sulfur dioxide and its related chemicals, such as sulfites. [2] The use of preservatives in wine has been shown to cause health problems in some consumers.

  3. Hydroxytyrosol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxytyrosol

    Its derivatives are found in a variety of natural sources, notably olive oils and wines. Hydroxytyrosol is a colorless solid, [3] [4] although samples often turn beige during storage. It is a derivative, formally speaking, of catechol. Hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives occur in olives and in wines. [5] [6]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_messenger

    A chemical message is any compound that serves to transmit a message, and may refer to: Hormone, long range chemical messenger; Neurotransmitter, communicates to adjacent cells; Neuropeptide, a protein sequence which acts as a hormone or neurotransmitter. The blood or other body fluids transport neuropeptides to non adjacent target cells, where ...

    The scientific approach to food and nutrition arose with attention to agricultural chemistry in the works of J. G. Wallerius, Humphry Davy, and others.For example, Davy published Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, in a Course of Lectures for the Board of Agriculture (1813) in the United Kingdom which would serve as a foundation for the profession worldwide, going into a fifth edition.

    2,4,6-trichloroanisole, the chemical primarily responsible for cork taint in wines. A wine fault or defect is an unpleasant characteristic of a wine often resulting from poor winemaking practices or storage conditions, and leading to wine spoilage. Many of the compounds that cause wine faults are already naturally present in wine but at ...

  7. Receptor (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptor_(biochemistry)

    In biochemistry and pharmacology, receptors are chemical structures, composed of protein, that receive and transduce signals that may be integrated into biological systems. [1] These signals are typically chemical messengers [nb 1] which bind to a receptor and produce physiological responses such as change in the electrical activity of a cell.

  8. Gaseous signaling molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaseous_signaling_molecules

    Gaseous signaling molecules are gaseous molecules that are either synthesized internally (endogenously) in the organism, tissue or cell or are received by the organism, tissue or cell from outside (say, from the atmosphere or hydrosphere, as in the case of oxygen) and that are used to transmit chemical signals which induce certain physiological or biochemical changes in the organism, tissue or ...

  9. Pheromone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromone

    A fanning honeybee exposes Nasonov's gland (white – at tip of abdomen) releasing pheromone to entice swarm into an empty hive. A pheromone (from Ancient Greek φέρω (phérō) 'to bear' and hormone) is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species.
