β-cyclodextrin in personal care formulations: role on the complexation of malodours causing molecules.

Int. J. Cosmet. Sci. 37 , 438-45, (2015)

The aim of this study was to prove the capability of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to interact with some representative molecules responsible to cause body malodour, such as carboxylic acids, thiols and stero...

Improving the odorant sensitivity of olfactory receptor-expressing yeast with accessory proteins.

Anal. Biochem. 471 , 1-8, (2015)

Olfaction depends on the selectivity and sensitivity of olfactory receptors. Previous attempts at constructing a mammalian olfactory receptor-based artificial odorant sensing system in the budding yea...

Development of a quantitative method for the simultaneous analysis of the boar taint compounds androstenone, skatole and indole in porcine serum and plasma by means of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry.

Food Chem. 187 , 120-9, (2015)

Boar taint is an off-odour occurring while heating meat or fat from boars. A method detecting the three compounds (androstenone, skatole and indole) simultaneously in blood would offer substantial adv...
