Notes:
This report contains information on some odors produced by gamma irradiation of several beef protein fractions and their derivatives. The odor was shown to vary with protein class, with molecular weight and electric charge, with the medium, and with the availability of functional groups. The unorthodox physical and chemical responses of an odor characterized as a “wet dog” odor are contrasted with those of a “wet chicken feather” odor. Of chief significance is the large variety of irradiated odors that can be produced from a single starting material as conditions are varied.
