The iSmell hardware device attaches to the computer like a printer or any other external device, but it generates scents instead of printouts.
We also generated scent-related ESTs by data mining as well as by EST filtering of the P. bellina unigenes database against those of scentless Phalaenopsis, rice and Arabidopsis to identify relevant genes.
One engineering feat was accomplished by the 2006 MIT iGEM team, who modified the normally putrid smell of bacteria so that the cells generated pleasant scents, such as wintergreen and banana.
EssOilDB would serve as a valuable information resource, for students and researchers in plant biology, in the design and discovery of new odor profiles, as well as for entrepreneurs the potential for generating consumer specific scents being one of the most attractive and interesting topics in the cosmetic industry.
Still more extraordinary, Fracas is built on a concept of tuberose, a small white flower (unrelated to rose; the name comes from the Latin word describing the plant's tuberous root system) that generates an overpowering scent and is notorious among perfumers for being a difficult raw material to master.
Do compounds generated when floral scents are chemically altered actually worsen air pollution?
They are extensively used in food and cosmetics industry for generating flavor and fragrances due to their pleasant scent (6).
An SEM test suggested that airport design features and pleasant scent have a positive influence on traveler enjoyment, generating satisfaction.
Inside a sealed, extremely foggy and dimly lit room at Toronto's Hearn Generating Station, the scent of the Drone perfume and its corresponding sounds immediately overwhelm you.
We investigated how flower fragrance was generated in certain Phalaenopsis orchids by determining the chemical components of the floral scent, identifying floral expressed-sequence-tags (ESTs), and deducing the pathways of floral scent biosynthesis in Phalaneopsis bellina by bioinformatics analysis.
