A comprehensive overview of fragrance chemistry
Fragrance materials are universal, from personal care productsto household cleaners, laundry products, and more. Although many ofthe scents themselves are synthesized in a lab, the actualmechanism of odour has long baffled chemists who attempt to modelit for research. In Chemistry and the Sense of Smell,industry chemist Charles S. Sell explores the chemistry and biologysurrounding the human detection and processing of odour, providinga comprehensive, single-volume guide to the totality of fragrancechemistry.
The correlation between molecular structure and odour is muchmore complex than initially thought, and the intricacies of themechanism by which the brain interprets scent signals leaves muchto be discovered. This book provides a solid foundation offragrance chemistry and highlights the relationship betweenresearch and industry with topics such as:
* The analysis and characterization of odour
* The role scent plays in our lives
* The design and manufacture of new fragrance ingredients
* The relationship between molecular structure and odour
* The mechanism of olfaction
* Intellectual challenges and the future of the field
Complete with illustrations that clarify difficult concepts andthe structures of the molecules under discussion, Chemistry andthe Sense of Smell is an all-inclusive guide to the science ofscent. For professionals in the fragrance industry or relatedfields, this book is one resource that should not beoverlooked.
