NASA technology found to remove cork taint

Click On Me

A process designed by NASA scientists to remove airborne contaminants can eliminate TCA as well.

Airocide was originally developed in the 1990s to keep fruit and vegetables fresh on a space station.

It has been proved in concept trials to remove 90-95% of TCA (2,4,6-trichloroanisole), which causes cork taint in wine, from a sealed room within 24 hours.

The question I would have is does it eliminate any other smells as well, including desirable aromas?
