The Science of Scent Can Yeast Produce More of a Key Patchouli Aroma Compound?
Engineering enzymes, pathways, and PDR12 improved patchoulol recovery in yeast. Reported titers came from the dodecane phase, not purified product or total culture content.
The Science of Scent Can Fabric Release a Floral Fragrance Little by Little?
Hydrolysable profragrances increased measured fragrance concentrations above cotton after one and three days, without testing perceived strength or consumer preference.
The Science of Scent Can We Identify the Origin of Anethole in Essential Oils?
Composition and carbon isotope measurements helped investigate anethole origins, while hydrogen isotope ranges alone risked misclassifying natural variation.
The Science of Scent Do Natural Fragrance Ingredients Have a Smaller Environmental Footprint?
A life-cycle assessment of 27 fragrance ingredients shows why production processes and assessment methods matter more than origin labels alone.
The Science of Scent Can a Fragrance Mix Test Identify the Responsible Ingredient?
A Swedish patch-test study distinguishes the small extra yield of routine HICC testing from the value of testing individual ingredients after a positive fragrance-mix result.
The Science of Scent Can Orange Essential Oil Testing Be Faster and Use Fewer Resources?
A faster chiral GC-MS method retained useful orange-oil information while reducing analysis time, electricity and helium use.
The Science of Scent Does a Higher Price Guarantee Essential Oil Quality?
Analyses of citrus oils bought mainly online found that price and natural claims alone did not establish composition, purity or authenticity.
The Science of Scent Does an Underarm Odor Molecule Have a Grapefruit-Like Mirror Image?
Research on 3M3SH links its S form to sweaty, onion-like odors and its R form to fruity, grapefruit-like and sulfurous impressions.
The Science of Scent Can Musk Ambrette Stimulate Pathways Involved in Puberty?
Cell and zebrafish experiments identify receptor activity and developmental signals, not proof that perfume use causes earlier puberty in humans.
