As one of the largest volume flavor ingredients, vanillin remains an attractive target for development of a cost-effective and sustainable process to manufacture. Presented here is newly available data on the production of vanillin via fermentation in an engineered strain of grown on sucrose ex-sugarcane. The use of the C4 plant source of carbohydrate resulted in a δC mean stable isotope ratio of -14.43 ‰ (SD = 0.24) relative to the V-PDB standard and a δH mean stable isotope ratio of -122.8 ‰ (SD = 2.9) relative to the SMOW standard by IRMS. The abundance of C in the fermentation derived vanillin averaged 14.01 dpm/gC (SD = 0.09) by AMS measurement. These data are compared to historical data collected on vanillin derived from a number of sources to provide a more holistic view on vanillin bulk isotope data based on its method of manufacture.

Unlabelled: During the Iron Age, north-eastern Iberian communities relied on crop cultivation and animal husbandry for their subsistence. The latter was mainly focused on caprine, with sheep being prominent due to their suitability to the Mediterranean climate, orography, and environment. Despite the pivotal role of sheep in livestock husbandry, information on Iberian communities' feeding strategies for this species is limited.

This study aims to assess the effects of oven heating on the isotopic ratios of eight formulated wheat-processed products with different gluten-to-starch ratios. Two heating treatments were applied: limited heating in an oven with exposure to 100 °C for a specific time (cooking time-dependent) and extended heating in an oven with exposure to 100 °C, 180 °C and 260 °C for 6 min. Results showed limited heating exposure did not alter the δH and δO in the wheat-processed products.

High-frequency precipitation (solid/liquid) isotope datasets are useful for identification of moisture sources and various dynamical and thermodynamical processes controlling precipitation formation. Here, we report three-year (2019-2021) daily rain isotope (both oxygen, δO hereafter, and hydrogen, δH, hereafter) datasets from three unique locations in India during the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM). The locations are- (1) Port Blair- an island situated in the Bay of Bengal (BoB); (2) Mahabaleshwar, located at the crest of the Western Ghats Mountain; and (3) Tezpur, in northeast India, situated close to a dense forest.

Isotopic pulse-labelling of photosynthate allows tracing of carbon (C) from tree canopies to belowground biota and calculations of its turnover in roots and recipient soil microorganisms. A high concentration of label is desirable, but is difficult to achieve in field studies of intact ecosystem patches with trees. Moreover, root systems of trees overlap considerably in most forests, which requires a large labelled area to minimize the impact of C allocated belowground by un-labelled trees.

Stable isotopes of carbon (δC) and nitrogen (δN) are commonly employed to reconstruct past change in marine ecosystems and nutrient cycling. However, multiple biogeochemical and physical drivers govern spatiotemporal variability of these isotopic signals, particularly in dynamic coastal systems, complicating interpretation. Here, we coupled a modern multi-year (2010-2019) δC and δN isoscape record from intertidal mussels (Mytilus californianus) with high-resolution ocean model output and satellite chlorophyll-a observations in the California Current System (32°-43° N) to identify major drivers of isotopic variability.
