Application:

  • Volatile organic compounds of the soil bacterium Bacillus halotolerans suppress pathogens and elicit defense-responsive genes in plants.: This research unveils how volatile organic compounds from Bacillus halotolerans, including 2,3-Hexanedione, can suppress plant pathogens and trigger defense genes. This finding could lead to natural plant protection strategies and enhance agricultural productivity (Rana et al., 2024 ).
General description: 2,3-Hexanedione is a diketone commercially used in food and fragrance industries to get a buttery-cheesy taste in different foodstuffs and fragrances. It is naturally found in coffee, beer, and fermented soya beans.

New Tariffs & Effects on Pricing

Tariff note: As we navigate the current environment of tariff surcharges and mid-year manufacturer price increases, we want to keep you informed. While we have avoided making specific decisions thus far, we anticipate that we will be forced to implement a cost adjustment policy to offset the fees we have already been absorbing. We are committed to transparency and moderation in this process.
