In order to effectively communicate the fragrances of commercial perfumes to consumers, it is important to apply congruent colors to their bottles and packaging. This research investigated the cross-modal associations between colors and fragrances through two experiments. In the first experiment, bottle colors of more than 200 popular perfumes in the market were analyzed. Distinguishable color design patterns of the bottles were revealed in accordance with their fragrance types. The second experiment expanded the use of color-odor matching task to a test population of Korean participants. Participants selected colors evoked by fragrances of three test perfumes in a blind setting. These three perfumes had characteristic hues and their associated hues were similar with the real colors of their bottles. In addition, there were significant variations in color tone across fragrance notes, viz. the top notes, middle notes, and base notes. The results of the two experiments suggest the existence of robust cross-modal associations between particular colors and fragrances in commercial perfumery.

Fragrance(aroma) have many effects on body. Recently, aromatherapy was used to treat dementia, atopicdermatitis, alopecia areata, perineal disease, lymphatichydrops, and articularrheumatism. And people are interested in physical and mental effects of aroma, especially in mental. People empirically have been known the effects of aroma on soul and used aroma in life from long ago. They have had a meditation and had a sacrificial rites burning incense. Scholars also burned incense when reading books or tasting tea. Until now, there is no physiological study about recognition process and effects of aroma on body, but only many clinical studies using aromatherapy. Fragrance(aroma) is different from smell and good flavors of herbs. And it goes through nose and has effects on body in harmony on So-mun(素問). Also flavors of herbs are spreaded ki of herbs and have many effects on body. Aroma coming through the nose is recognized by co-operation of five-viscera(五臟), especially heart and lung. The nose and pectoral qi(宗氣) are related with lung. The lung opens into the nose, reflect its physiological and pathological conditions. Pectoral qi(宗氣) is the combination of the essential qi derived from food with the air inhaled, stored in the chest, and serving as the dynamic force of blood circulation, respiration, voice, and bodily movements. Because of the heart-spirit(心神), Heart is the organ can recognize the aroma, although the nose is the first organ of receiving aroma. Five spirits(五神: ethereal soul(魂), spirit(神), ideation(意), corporeal soul(魄), will(志)) and seven emotions(七情: joy(喜), anger(怒), anxiety(憂), thought(思), sorrow(悲), fear(恐), fright(驚)) are rerated with five-viscera(五臟) and essence-spirit (精神) processing steps and express of emotions. And aroma effects on five-viscera(五臟). So aroma have many effects on body, especially mentally.

This study aimed to reduce the oily taste of Bechamel sauce, and improve consumers' acceptability and functionality by adding Ginseng seed inside. This study also performed quantitative description analysis and acceptability test in order to see its unique sensory characteristics. The results were as follows: The viscosity and moisture content decreased as ginseng seeds got added. This may be due to decrease in relative amount of flour. In terms of color, brightness (L) and yellowness (b) tended to decrease as ginseng seeds were added, while redness (a) showed just the opposite propensity. The salinity became higher with more ginseng seed, however, soluble solid content showed no significant difference among the samples. From the result of quantitative and descriptive analysis among the sensory tests, the concentration of Bechamel sauce got higher with more ginseng seed, where the fragrance and the taste of ginseng were sensed strongly, while fragrance of milk, flour, and nuts were considered weak. Also, sense of stuffiness, oiliness, and tenderness has decreased as well. From the acceptability test, adding 30% of ginseng seed got the highest ratings in terms of fragrance, taste, afterward-taste, and overall acceptability. Therefore, adding ginseng seed positively affected Bechamel sauce in taste, smell, after-taste, and general acceptability. Moreover, when the added amount of ginseng seed was 30% compared to the flour, the taste of Bechamel sauce was relatively optimized. From the test results, it can be concluded that ginseng seed injected in Bechamel sauce improved nutritive facts and the taste acceptability as well, and 30% compared to the flour amount was the right amount to maximize consumers' acceptance of Bechamel sauce.

The paper proposes a smart mirror system that recommends fragrances based on user emotion analysis. This paper combines natural language processing techniques such as embedding techniques (CounterVectorizer and TF-IDF) and machine learning classification models (DecisionTree, SVM, RandomForest, SGD Classifier) to build a model and compares the results. After the comparison, the paper constructs a personal emotion-based fragrance recommendation mirror model based on the SVM and word embedding pipeline-based emotion classifier model with the highest performance. The proposed system implements a personalized fragrance recommendation mirror based on emotion analysis, providing web services using the Flask web framework. This paper uses the Google Speech Cloud API to recognize users' voices and use speech-to-text (STT) to convert voice-transcribed text data. The proposed system provides users with information about weather, humidity, location, quotes, time, and schedule management.

Priming refers to the incidental activation of knowledge structures, such as trait concepts and stereotypes, by the current situational context. Many studies have shown that the recent use of a trait construct or stereotype, even in an earlier or unrelated situation, carries over for a time to exert an unintended, passive influence on the interpretation of behavior. Recent researches have shown that attitudes and other affective reaction can be triggered automatically by the mere presence of relevant objects and events. So assuming that behavioral responses to fragrance are also represented mentally, they should also be capable of becoming automatically activated, by the same principles that govern the development of automaticity of other representations. On the basis of this theory, this study examined the effect of fragrance on the quality of cosmetic products.

We investigated the effect of sodium chloride-associated abiotic stress on the development of Pleurotus ostreatus. We examined the growth characteristics of fruiting bodies, constituent amino acids, and fragrance pattern to determine the effect of culturing Pleurotus ostreatus on a sawdust substrate supplemented with sodium chloride in a dose-dependent manner. Pleurotus ostreatus fruiting bodies exhibited an increasing tendency towards augmented yields when grown in the presence of 0.5% sodium chloride as compared with that grown in the control group. However, increasing the supplementation of sodium chloride from 1.0 % to 2.0% resulted in significantly decreased yields of Pleurotus ostreatus fruiting bodies in these groups as compared with that in control groups. Further assessment revealed the presence of 14 types of amino acids in the fruiting bodies, including aspartate, threonine, serine, glycine, alanine, methionine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, lysine, histidine, and arginine, at lower levels in all the sodium chloride-treated groups than in the control group; except for glutamic acid and proline. Similarly, fragrance pattern analysis of the Pleurotus ostreatus fruiting body by chromatography confirmed that the intensity of the substances presumed to be octane compounds, to which the unique flavor of mushrooms is attributed, was lower in all the sodium chloride-treated groups than in the control group.

Sunbigi tree(Vitex rotundifolia L.f.), which grows wild in the southern part of Korea and along the coast of the West Sea, has a lot of useful value in terms of resource utilization. Since ancient times, it has been used as folk medicine or herbal medicine in the private sector. Although the leaves and stems have a strong scent, the fruit also has a strong scent, so there are some studies on extracting essential oil from the fruit of Sunbigi tree and analyzing the ingredients, but there are few studies on the fragrance component by extracting hydrosol. The reason is that the fruits are hard and it is difficult to identify the active ingredients contained in the general extraction method. Therefore, in this study, the results of analyzing the components contained in the fragrance of hydrosol obtained by extracting hard fruits at high temperature by different extraction methods are as follows. 1. The extraction condition with the highest flavonoid content was 30.57 mg/g with ethanol, followed by hot water extract at 18.26 mg/g and water extract at 9.69 mg/g with the lowest. 2. As a result of distillation extraction from the fruit of Sunbigi tree, the fragrance of hydrosol is 3-Methyl-2-butenoic acid, cyclobutyl ester, Eucalyptol, L-alpha-Terpineol, 1H-Cycloprop[e]azulen-7-ol, decahydro-1 ,1,7-trimethyl-4-methylene-, [1ar-(1a.alpha.,4a.alpha.,7.beta.,7a.beta.,7b.alpha.)] were found to be many.

In order to extract the essential oil contained in the Elsholtzia splendense Nakai, a fully-bloomed individual was collected and the living body was used for the experiment. Plants were divided into 0.7kg of flowers and 1.5kg of leaves + stems, and extracted by parts and used for scent pattern analysis, and extracted after adding 5kg of outpost for the analysis of essential oil components. Essential oil extraction was performed using the SDE method improved by Schultz et al. (1977), and the extraction time was limited to 1 hour after the material started boiling. The extracted essential oil component was analyzed for fragrance pattern analysis using an e-nose, and the results of analyzing the substance of the essential oil component by GC-MS are as follows. 1. As for the fragrance pattern analysis, in the case of essential oils extracted from flowers, the scent quality was the best at 10-20 minutes, and the scents extracted from stems and leaves were somewhat of poor scent quality, but the fragrance was good at 10-40 minutes. The intensity of scent was the strongest in 10-20 minutes, and the intensity of incense was high even in 30-40 minutes. The scent extracted from the stems and leaves was generally not strong, but appeared high in 10 to 20 minutes. 2. There were 40 kinds of essential oils contained in Elsholtzia splendense Nakai oil. Among them, Mequinol, Benzene, 1,2,3,4-tetramethyl, Elsholtziaketone, and Dehydroelsholtziaketone were identified.
