ByTiroko-chan

If you wake up in the morning you will find "delicious smell" of miso soup of breakfast, in my commuter train my own "smell of sweat" is concerned, coffee between work is "deep aroma scent", after work I will Attracted by the "delicious" odor, ending with a "peaceful" aroma from the bedroom's aroma diffuser, finishing the day .... Various odors are full of personal belongings. A research result that the kind of such odor can be classified into ten kinds was announced.

In our previous studies, there are things that have been standardized in terms of measuring means and measuring units with respect to taste, vision, and hearing among the five senses of human beings,ChemosensationThere were still a lot of parts that have not been revealed about the smell called "aroma".

The research team succeeded in dividing odor into ten groups using statistics this time. It is interesting that quite concrete names such as "tree" and "popcorn" are raised.
· Fragrance (good scent)
· Trees / Resin
· Fruity (not citrus)
·chemical
·mint
·sweet
·Popcorn
· Lemon (citrus)
· Stimulus
·corruption


I made this presentationBates UniversityJason Castro, researcher at Jason Castro, said, "What kind of" odor "there are, what it was wondering for people all the time, which is classified as the same" chemistry " "And" sweet "are greatly different from the established taste." It is very difficult to evaluate the sense of odor by numerical value, and in the article "Atlas of Odor Character Profiles" published by Dr. Andew Dravniek in 1985, it was only classifying 144 types of odor, but this time In the announcement it has narrowed it to 10 kinds.


Currently, the research team is studying the relationship between the molecular structure of chemical substances and odor. Since there was no way to predict how odor will be felt at the molecular level so far, Mr. Castro seems to think that "if it becomes a useful company of a perfume or fragrance making company."
