Background
The client’s factories manufacture yeast using molasses as culture media. In a series of their manufacturing processes, odors are generated when heating molasses and culturing yeast.
While the client has already processed the odorous gases sufficiently, they are considering taking further measures. As the first step of their new efforts, the client has decided that identification of compounds greatly contributing to the odor is necessary; thus, they have issued this open request.
