SCENT, SMELL AND ODOR CREATION FROM AN AROMAGRAPH
Disclosed here are methods and apparati for making a desired scent, smell, odor, aroma, and/or taste. Also disclosed herein are methods and apparati for making a scent, smell, odor, aroma, and/or taste that will produce a desired response in a desired group of subjects.
1 - 20 . (canceled)
21 . A method for predicting a response of a subject to a composition comprising;
generating a first Aromagraph based on the binding of a plurality of olfactory receptor biosensors to the composition, the composition having an odor;
comparing the first Aromagraph to a database comprising a plurality of second Aromagraphs, wherein each of the plurality of second Aromagraphs is associated with a predetermined response to the odor from a panel of subjects; and
predicting the response of the subject to the composition based on the comparison.
22 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the plurality of olfactory receptor biosensors comprises a mammalian olfactory receptor.
23 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the composition comprises a solution or a suspension.
24 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the composition comprises an aerosol or a vapor.
25 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the composition comprises a solid.
26 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the predicted response is the same as the predetermined response.
27 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the predicted response is different from the predetermined response.
28 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the predetermined response is happiness, well-being, peacefulness, relaxation, or a combination thereof.
29 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the predetermined response is stimulation, invigoration, refreshment, or a combination thereof.
30 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the predetermined response is disgust, irritation, unpleasantness, nauseating, or a combination thereof.
31 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the database further comprises demographic information associated with each of the plurality of second Aromagraphs.
32 . The method of claim 31 , wherein the demographic information comprises age, race, nationality, income, geographic location, sex, or a combination thereof.
33 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the database measures the level of the predetermined response associated with the plurality of second Aromagraphs.
34 . A method for selecting compositions that generate a desired response comprising:
identifying the desired response in a subject;
identifying an odor that produces the desired response;
selecting an Aromagraph associated with the desired response from a database of Aromagraphs; and
identifying a composition that matches the selected Aromagraph.
35 . The method of claim 34 , wherein each Aromagraph in the database is based on the binding of a plurality of olfactory receptor biosensors to a composition.
36 . The method of claim 35 , wherein the plurality of olfactory receptor biosensors comprises a mammalian olfactory receptor.
37 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the composition comprises a solution or a suspension.
38 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the composition comprises an aerosol or a vapor.
39 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the composition comprises a solid.
40 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the desired response is happiness, well-being, peacefulness, relaxation, or a combination thereof.
41 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the desired response is stimulation, invigoration, refreshment, or a combination thereof.
42 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the database measures the level of the desired response associated with the Aromagraph.
43 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the database further comprises demographic information associated with the Aromagraph.
44 . The method of claim 43 , wherein the demographic information comprises age, race, nationality, income, geographic location, sex, or a combination thereof.
