| Scientists identify caramel receptor |
Furanol can give strawberries and other foods a caramel-like aroma
.
The picture shows the structural formula of strawberry and aromatic furanol
Furanol can give strawberries and other foods a caramel-like aroma
Furanol is a natural flavoring agent.
It can give many fruits, such as strawberries, it can also bring a caramel-like fragrance to coffee or bread
.
Similarly, this substance has long played an important role as a flavoring agent in food production
This is not alone
.
With the rapid development of science today, people can still only distinguish about 20% of the odor range that human olfactory receptors can recognize
"The test system we developed is unique in the world
.
We have genetically modified the test cells so that they can sense odors like small biosensors
"Our results show that furanol only activates the OR5M3 odor receptor
.
Even one thousandth of a gram of this odor is enough to generate a signal
This odorant is closely related to furanol in structure
.
Previous studies have shown that it can bring a caramel-like aroma to durian and other fruits
Veronika Somoza, Director of the Leibniz Institute, added: “In the future, we will continue to use the large number of odors and receptors collected by the Institute to help clarify the molecular basis of human olfactory perception
.
After all, this greatly affects our food.
