Old Swan – NMR Software Blog

Since October 2006 “Old Swan” has been posting an excellent blog on NMR software. It can be found at nmr-software.blogspot.com

It makes very interesting reading … though I’m not always sure what is going on – see the December 11th posting

New Site Dedicated to Magnetic Resonance in the Food Sciences

A new website has been introduced that focusses on the applications of Magnetic Resonance (NMR, MRI, Relaxometry) to the chemistry and physics of foods. The website can be found at magres.foodsciences.org

This organization also arranges the biannual conference on Application of Magnetic Resonance in Food Science – they have an excellent poster session with PDF versions of the poster presentations published to the web – Poster PDFs

Dairy NMR Database of Lignin and Cell Wall Model Compounds.

This excellent database can be downloaded from http://ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=10491

This is what the authors (Sally A. Ralph, John Ralph and Larry L. Landucci.) said about the database:

“This NMR database has been designed to aid plant cell wall chemists in general and lignin chemists in particular. By compiling data from a series of model compounds run under strict acquisition conditions in three solvents, we hope to provide a compilation useful for cell wall NMR research.”
