The unclear relationship between structure and saltiness enhancement limits the development and application of savory odorants. The structure characteristic-saltiness enhancement perception (SEP) mechanisms of savory odorants were investigated by mac...
Recently, the comprehension of odor perception has advanced, unveiling the mysteries of the molecular receptors within the nasal passages and the intricate mechanisms governing signal transmission between these receptors, the olfactory bulb, and the ...
