From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An aroma compound, also known as odorant, aroma, fragrance or flavor, is a chemical compound that has a smell or odor. A chemical compound has a smell or odor when two conditions are met: the compound needs to be volatile, so it can be transported to the olfactory system in the upper part of the nose, and it needs to be in a sufficiently high concentration to be able to interact with one or more of the olfactory receptors. Aroma compounds can be found in food, wine, spices, perfumes, fragrance oils, and essential oils. For example, many form biochemically during ripening of fruits and other crops. In wines, most form as byproducts of fermentation. Odorants can also be added to a dangerous odorless substance, like natural gas or hydrogen, as a warning. As well many of the aroma compounds plays a significant role in the production of flavorants, which are used in the food service industry to flavor, improve and increase the appeal of their products.

An ester is the product of a reaction between an alcohol (any molecule with an -OH group) and an organic acid (any molecule with a -COOH group). When various acids and alcohols are combined, the result is a molecule with the two parts connected by a X-(C=O)-O-X, if that makes any sense. The upshot of this all is that esters are very easy for living creatures to make, and many have distinctive and easily identifiable odors. For example, most fruit scents have unique esters that we identify as being banana-scented, or citrus scented.

Q. I own 2 Bath and Body Works WallFlower units. Like many home fragrance warmers (Glade Plugins, ect), it is starting to yellow around the edges. I remember reading an article in Martha Stewart Living a couple years ago that outlined how to clean these things, but I can't find it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean them so that nasty yellow color comes off? Asked by Mommy to a blessed baby girl! - Tue Sep 30 19:01:42 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You could try bleach or a magic eraser sponge. Incidentally, a word of warning, we had one of these plug ins that started smoking. Fortunately we noticed it but we had to touch up the emulsion of the walls where it had blackened.
