Olfactory receptor ligand modulation: DSM-FirmenichLast 5 Years Research Landscape

Malodorous volatile compounds trigger negative sensory responses that degrade product performance. This technology engineers specific molecular binders to competitively inhibit or modulate receptor signaling pathways to neutralize perceived off-notes.

What technical problems is DSM-Firmenich addressing in Olfactory receptor ligand modulation?

Malodor perception interference

(10)evidences

Sensory receptors are susceptible to activation by unpleasant volatile compounds like dimethyl trisulfide. Neutralizing these signals at the receptor level prevents the perception of foul odors in consumer environments.
