Making Sense (Scents) of Chemistry Symposium - A symposium from the KNVC and Givaudan on Nov. 28, 2008 at Nijverheidsweg 60, 3771 ME Barneveld, NL. - See the program HERE Senomyx & Firmenich - Novel Sweetness Enhancer - November 6, 2008 – Senomyx & Firmenich have entered into a collaborative commercialization and license agreement for S2383, Senomyx’s novel enhancer of the high-intensity sweetener sucralose. During the collaborative period, Firmenich will be granted exclusive rights on a worldwide basis to commercialize S2383 in virtually all product categories. Upon commercialization, Firmenich has agreed to pay Senomyx royalties on all sales of S2383 when it is sold either on a stand-alone basis or within a flavor system. On November 5, 2008 Senomyx announced receipt of a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) regulatory designation for S2383. The GRAS status allows S2383 to be commercialized in the U.S. and other countries. Senomyx has confirmed in taste tests that the use of S2383 allows the sucralose in simple product prototypes to be reduced by up to 75% while maintaining the desired sweet taste.

Olfactory Theories - July 2, 2008 - In a follow-up by physicist Marshall Stoneham's group to their 2006 paper entitled " Could Humans Recognize Odor by Phonon Assisted Tunneling?

Interface entitled "Odour character differences for enantiomers correlate with molecular flexibility" addresses certain aspects of the "steric" (or shape) theory of molecular olfaction relating to enantiomers. Noting "In particular, for the fairly extensive class of enantiomers with six-membered ring flexibility, enantiomers do not smell the same." And concluding "...while the shape must be good enough, critical information for actuation is a separate factor." Happy 30th Sunkist Orange Soda  30 years ago this month, I piled 25 gallons of Sunkist concentrate into the back of my old Porche and travelled to the GCC canning plant in Norcross, GA to make the first production run of Sunkist Orange Soda.
