Abstract:

Odours caused by intensive piggery operations have become a major environmental issue in the piggery industry in Australia. Effluent ponds are the major source of odours in typical piggeries. It is assumed that the odour emissions from ponds are mainly driven by pond loading rate. However, there are few data to corroborate this concept. Allied to this is the need for a convenient and low cost method of odour measurement, which can be used as an alternative method for current olfactometry. The present odour measurement methods using olfactometry is time-consuming, expensive and often impractica

Abstract:

The axilla is a major source of human body odour from which the characteristic musky, urinous or acidic odours emanate, and are predominantly due to bacterial metabolism of the protein-rich fluid secreted by the apocrine and sebaceous glands located in this area (Senol and Fireman, 1999). Clothing has been implicated in contributing to body odour intensity, possibly even increasing the intensity (Dravnieks, et al., 1968; Shelley, et al., 1953) by the transfer of secretions, skin debris and bacteria from the body to the fabric substrate. Despite much anecdotal evidence indicating that some fibr

Abstract This thesis is a study of the odour responses of insect olfactory (or odorant) receptor neurons (ORN) of blowfly (Calliphora vicina), mosquito (Aedes communis), fruitflies (Drosophila melanogaster and D. virilis) and large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis). A power-law dependence (similar to Stevens' law in psychophysics) was obtained for the action potential rate of ORN responses vs. odour concentration in measurements with metal microelectrodes from blowfly ORNs and an analysis system was developed for the extracellularily recorded action potentials (or nerve pulses).

Abstract:

Odour impacts are the source of many complaints in communities and, as such, methods for odour impact assessment are needed. Such assessments would benefit from the development of parameters that could be used to quantify and reflect the magnitudes of odour impacts experience by the community. Therefore, numerous parameters that can be used to assess odour impacts have been proposed in this research. These parameters account for variations in odour concentration, probability of response, degree of annoyance and population density that clearly influence the degree of impact of an odorous

In two parts, this thesis examined the perception of odour mixtures by humans. Several experiments were carried out and results shown. Part 1 established that peripheral interaction in the form of competition for transduction pathway resources is not of primary importance in determining the perceptual characteristics of odour mixtures. Other peripheral mechanisms, central factors and limitations in human cognitive processing would also appear to play an important role.Taking into account the temporal processing results found in Part 1, Part 2 sought to establish the capacity of humans to analy

Abstract:

Having means to detect and avoid potential predators is a necessity for prey species. Most mammalian prey species are able to detect odours emitted by predators and to adapt their behaviour accordingly. These odour cues are therefore considered to act as semiochemicals. Predator odours consist of several dozen different odourants. In order to assess if single odourants elicit aversive behavioural reactions, predator-naïve CD-1 mice were presented with six odourants which are part of body-borne odours of different mammalian predator species. A two-compartment chamber was used in order to assess

Abstract:

It is essential for prey species to be able to detect predators to avoid them. The sense of smell is used by a number of prey species for this purpose. The aim of the present study was to assess if one of the odourants that make up a predator odour is sufficient to induce a behavioural response in mice (Mus musculus). Two predator odourants were used, 2,2-dimethylthietane and methyl-2-phenylethyl sulfide, which are both found in the secretions of natural predators of mice. An odourant found in fruits, n-pentyl acetate, was also used. All three odourants were presented at a concentration that w

Abstract:

Olfaction is a vital sense that informs moths of their environment, and as such moths are adept at chemical sensing. Natural odours are often complex mixtures of different compounds. Thus, odour components can interact along the olfactory pathway in a nonlinear fashion such that the mixture is not perceived simply as the sum of its components. Here an investigation is made into possible nonlinear interactions in the olfactory system of moths at two stages along the olfactory pathway. These are the input to and the output from the antennal lobe, the region of the insect brain responsible for th

Unsaturated lipids exist in carton-board and can be the precursors of odorous compounds. Two unsaturated lipids that can be present are oleic acid (cis 9-octadecenoic acid) and linoleic acid (cis, cis 9,12-octadecadienoic acid). These lipids can be present in the free acid form, as alkyl ester derivatives and in the triglyceride form. These lipids are able to undergo oxidation. Such oxidation leads to the formation of a number of odorous compounds. Oxidation proceeds via hydroperoxide intermediates to produce aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, furans, lower fatty acids, alkenes and alkanes, the maj

The sense of smell is a primal sense for humans as well as animals.In everyday life the smells encountered are composed of dozens, even hundreds of odors; few arise from a single odorant. Enormous numbers of odors occur due to the vast variation in the concentration, size and structure of odorant molecules that makes olfaction differ from simpler visual or auditory dimensions. Accordingly, little is known about the ways in which changes in molecular structure and concentration of individual odorants change odor quality. Also, currently not much is understood about synergism/antagonism, how one
