GEOSMIN

Definition

Environment-related flavours, like "muddy" or "musty", which can permeate pond-raised fish. (e.g American cat fish and common carp). This results from the fish eating blue green algae which produce the compound Geosmin. The off-flavour can be removed by holding the fish in flowing water for 7-14 days.
