Olfasense Odour Workshop 2024: A Success in Innovation and Collaboration

On 15 and 16 May 2024, the Olfasense team hosted a multi-disciplinary group of specialists from around the world to discuss and share insights in the field of odour testing. This event provided an excellent platform for exchanging future trends and addressing current needs, and we’re grateful to everyone who took part.

Over two days, we covered a wide range of sensory and molecular analysis methods, demonstrating the almost limitless possibilities for product optimisation and material testing.

The event was structured around a number of presentations from relevant specialists, and practical sessions on specific odour measurement techniques in our lab facilities.

Special thanks go to our guest speakers:

PD Dr. Dietmar Krautwurst from the Taste & Odor Systems Reception research group at the Leibniz Institute of Food Systems Biology, Technical University of Munich, contributed an innovative talk on key food odorants and their receptors. His presentation was all about chemoreception principles and odorant detection. He demonstrated how super-sensitive odorant receptors could be used for quality control and other applications.

Corinna Kuhnert, perfumer and co-founder of Aloha Senses Perfumes, introduced us to the world of high-quality fragrances and used some of her amazing fragrance samples, allowing participants to sniff and explore various scents.
