Szaganyagok
Szaganyagok, also known as odorants, are chemical compounds that have a distinct smell. These substances are detected by the olfactory system in humans and animals, triggering the sensation of smell. Scent molecules are typically volatile, meaning they readily evaporate into the air, allowing them to reach the olfactory receptors in the nose. The interaction between a specific odorant molecule and its corresponding receptor initiates a complex signaling cascade that is interpreted by the brain as a particular smell.
The diversity of smells arises from the vast array of chemical structures that can act as odorants.
Szaganyagok play a significant role in various biological and environmental processes. In nature, they are involved
