Flavornet

Flavornet is a compilation of aroma compounds found in human odour space. A seemingly infinite number of perceptions are invoked by less than 1000 odourants that make up this space. These chemicals with mass less than 300 Daltons bind to proteins on the olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) at the surface of the olfactory epithelium. Excitation of ORNs generates a topographic map of sensory information in the brain that is a representation of the stimulating chemical features of the external world. The Flavornet lists only those odourants that have been found in a human odour space at supra-threshold levels i.e. at levels likely to stimulate ORNs.
