Description
This book is the long awaited completely revised and extended edition of Günther
Ohloff's standard work "Scent and Fragrances: The Fascination of Odors and Their
Chemical Perspectives". The prominent chemists Günther Ohloff, Wilhelm
Pickenhagen, and Philip Kraft convey the scientist, the perfumer, as well as the
interested layman with a vivid and up-to-date picture of the state of the art of
the chemistry of odorants and the research in odor perception. The book details
on the molecular basis of olfaction, olfactory characterization of perfumery
materials, structure-odor relationships, the chemical synthesis of odorants, and
the chemistry of essential oils and odorants from the animal kingdom, backed up
by ca. 400 perfumery examples and historical aspects.
It will serve as a thorough introductory text for all those interested in the
molecular world of odors.
This book is written for everyone who wants to know more about the molecular
basis of odor, and the relationships between chemical structures and olfactory
properties. The great structural diversity of odorants, their synthesis, natural
occurrence and their structure odor correlation demonstrate what a fascinating
science Fragrance Chemistry indeed is.
