The aim of this study was to compare the olfactory performance of anorectic patients and healthy controls with regard to the state of satiety. Using the Sniffin' Sticks, sensitivity to a nonfood odor (n-butanol) and to a food-related odor (isoamyl
Recent evidence suggests that asymmetry between the left and right sides of the brain is not limited to vertebrates but extends to invertebrates as well. We compared olfactory lateralization in two species of Hymenoptera Apoidea, the honeybee (Apis mellifera), a
The human ability to localize odorants has been examined in a number of studies, but the findings are contradictory. In the present study we investigated the human sensitivity and ability to localize hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S), which in low concentrations stimulates
Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) and porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) were immobilised by entrapping and also by covalent binding for use in synthesis of isoamyl acetate (IAAc), which has a typical banana flavour. Lipase entrapment was carried out by dripping sodium

Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) has been employed as an efficient catalyst in the preparation of many flavor esters. A CALB-displaying yeast whole-cell biocatalyst could be an attractive alternative to commercial immobilized CALB because of its low-cost preparation and high
