One way to open that window, Dr. Hirsch maintains, is through hedonics, the field of psychology that measures feelings: A food's hedonic value is determined by... factors including the inherent gustatory and olfactory properties, cognitive perceptions including the perceived nutritional value, associated conditioned response characteristics, olfactory evoked nostalgia and craving.
The issue of authenticity of smells used in heritage spaces leads us to consider the relationship between the olfactory properties of a source and the perception of its smell.
Additional topics have been added to include those of interest to consumers, e.g., genetically modified organisms, food safety, cloning, 3D printing in addition to food sensory topics related to texture, flavor, and olfactory properties.
De Carvalho and da Fonseca show many examples of biotransformations by different microorganisms resulting in terpenoid derivatives with mainly olfactory properties.
The HC diet, which is characterized, at least by humans, by strong olfactory and gustatory properties may have been avoided by some of the herbivores because of food sampling strategies that may function to diminish negative effects of toxins found in plants [36].
Quite apart from the nasal discomfort, the olfactory factor can depress property prices.To gather proper data and fend off arbitrary penalties under the Clean Air Act and other laws, livestock producers are now paying for a national study of emissions.
The responsive properties of olfactory receptor cells were recorded by using a pair of glass microelectrodes filled with 2.5% agar-saline and bridged to silver wire.
Despite detailed insights into the molecular and biophysical properties of olfactory bulb neurons and synapses it remains unclear how synaptic interactions shape the spatio-temporal structure of olfactory bulb output activity in the intact circuit.
To determine the effects of various intranasal agents on the functional properties of olfactory sensory neurons (OSN), we performed electro-olfactogram (EOG) analysis on mouse main olfactory epithelium (MOE) 3 and 9 days after intranasal administration of either saline, Afrin, Nasacort, epinephrine, lidocaine or Zicam.
The integrative properties of olfactory cortical neurons have also been studied (Zou and Buck, 2006).
Many other previously documented properties of olfactory ensheathing cells may be relevant, including modulation of immune responses (Arnold and Hagg, 2011; Chuah et al., 2011), provision of neurotrophic factors (Chiu et al., 2009), remyelination of demyelinated axons (Franklin et al., 1996; Sasaki et al., 2011) or modulation of glia and neuronal function (Chuah et al., 2011).
