The Full Story
Did You Know?
Did you know?
The term 'Chiraroma' combines 'chiral' (referring to molecular handedness — left or right orientation) with 'aroma.' Enzymatic production can selectively create one chiral form of a molecule, which can have very different scent profiles from its mirror-image counterpart.
