Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Odor recognition originates from the interactions between odor molecules and olfactory receptors. Odor molecules are organic compounds with lipophilic features, such as geraniol and menthol. It is important to investigate the characteristic odors of many kinds of materials from the perspectives of organic chemistry in addition to biochemistry. The characteristic odors of materials are produced by the complex odor recognition mechanism. Study on odor molecules relates to various research fields, such as organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, and pharmacy. In addition, to investigate the structure–odor relationship, the analysis of complex odor materials is applicable for identifying important odor constituents in various odor materials (i.e., incense, foods, and plants).
I am pleased to invite colleagues to submit original research or review articles covering all aspects of odor compounds.
Dr. Toshio Hasegawa

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
