The science of smell

• For humans, too, being able to smell is not just for the enjoyment of pleasant odours.
• When we smell a scent, gas molecules enter our nose and stimulate specialised nerve cells called olfactory sensory neurons.
• When this is the case, more molecules enter the gaseous state and the smell is more intense.

What makes things smell good though?

• Fish and decaying animal cells, for example, release chemicals called amines, which don’t smell appealing.
• Chemists have been able to identify the specific chemical smells released by substances we encounter in everyday life.

Smells different

• However, some perfumes also contain unusual ingredients that don’t smell nice on their own.
• 5 perfume – the iconic 100-year-old favourite – contains civet as one of its base chemical notes.
• It is traditionally extracted from the anal glands of civet cats but Chanel has used a synthetic form of civet since 1998.

Tips for choosing and using perfumes

• This will help to give molecules more energy and increase the number of molecules entering the gaseous state.
• Specific perfumes will not smell the same on different people’s skin because the chemicals in them can be affected by the skin’s type and condition (dry or oily, acidic or base) and even their diet.
• That’s also why it’s better to moisturise skin before spraying perfume, so perfume chemicals stay on the skin for longer.
• To keep perfumes lasting longer in the bottle, keep them in the fridge or cool dark place and tightly sealed to prevent your expensive, heat-sensitive scent evaporating into thin air.

• Thus, it is important to detect these compounds during food storage and distribution to track spoilage.
• To this end, researchers have now combined polydiacetylene liposome and alginate solution to create hydrogel for developing a colorimetric food spoilage sensor.
• This motivated a team of researchers, including Prof. Sungbaek Seo, Associate Professor of Biomaterials Science at Pusan National University, to develop a portable molecular sensor that quickly detects the presence of BAs by changing colors.
• Taken together, this portable PDA-based colorimetric sensor would facilitate the seamless monitoring of food spoilage during storage and distribution, and prevent health hazards arising from the ingestion of BAs.
