Functional evolution of mammalian odorant receptors. by Kaylin A Adipietro, Joel D Mainland, Hiroaki Matsunami

“…The mammalian odorant receptor (OR) repertoire is an attractive model to study evolution, because ORs have been subjected to rapid evolution between species, presumably caused by changes of the olfactory system to adapt to the environment. However, functional assessment of ORs in related species remains largely untested. …”

Characterization of Key Odorants in Soy Sauce and Their Concentration Changes during Storage by Rui Wang, Shiyu Chang, Miao Liang, Yajian Wu, Runhu Xin, Yuping Liu, Liang Chen, Shangting Zhou

“…To explore the key odorants and their concentration changes in high-salt liquid-state fermentation soy sauce (HLFSS) during storage, solvent extraction coupled with solvent-assisted flavor evaporation was applied to isolate the volatiles in HLFSS, and the volatiles were analyzed by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry-olfactory and gas chromatograph-flame ionization detector-olfactometry combined with the aroma extract dilution assay. …”
