Scent, Smell and Odor Creation from an Aromagraph

Abstract

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 . A method for making a desired scent, smell, odor, aroma, or taste, comprising the steps of: obtaining a desired Aromagraph for the desired scent, smell, odor, aroma, or taste, wherein the desired Aromagraph is obtained from a repertoire of Olfactory Receptor biosensors, wherein each Olfactory Receptor biosensor comprises an Olfactory Receptor, a G protein subunit Gα, a G protein subunit Gβ, a G protein subunit Gγ, and a reporter, wherein each Olfactory Receptor biosensor is in a separate recombinant cell that generates a measurable signal when the Olfactory Receptor biosensor is bound by an odorant; comparing the desired Aromagraph to a plurality of Aromagraphs for a plurality of odorants; finding the odorants that mimic parts of the desired Aromagraph; combining the odorants that mimic parts of the desired Aromagraph into a composition whereby the composition has a composite Aromagraph that mimics the desired Aromagraph; using a materials handling system to make the composition; transferring the composition to a system for volatilizing the composition; and volatilizing the composition. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the system for volatilizing makes a vapor or an aerosol. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the system for volatilizing makes a vapor and an aerosol. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the system for volatilizing makes a vapor. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the system for volatilizing makes an aerosol. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the desired scent, smell, odor, aroma, or taste produces a desired response in a subject. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the desired scent, smell, odor, aroma, or taste produces a desired response in a plurality of subjects. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of subjects have a shared characteristic. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of subjects have shared demographic characteristic. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the demographic characteristic is an age, an income, a geographic location, a sex, or a combination of the foregoing. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the desired response is a happiness, a well-being, an awe, a sensuality, a soothing, a peacefulness, an energizing, a refreshing, a delicacy, a healthiness, or a combination of the foregoing. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the response is an energizing. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the response is a peacefulness. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the response is a well-being. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the system for volatilizing comprises a heating receptacle, a nebulizer, an ink-jet printer head, or an aerosol dispensing system. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the system for volatilizing comprises a heating receptacle. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the system for volatilizing comprises a nebulizer. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the system for volatilizing comprises an ink-jet printer head. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the system for volatilizing comprises an aerosol dispensing system. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the Aromagraph comprises a binding data for a plurality of Olfactory Receptors.
