MOLECULE
Named in 1 VERIFIED claim about 1 Atlas entry: Popcorn.
Linked to the odour · the claim says “may be partly responsible for typical popcorn aroma”
A comparison of popped popcorn hybrids suggested that volatiles including 2-furfurylthiol, methional, 4-vinylguaiacol, 2-pentylfuran, guaiacol and 2-acetylpyrrole may be partly responsible for typical popcorn aroma.
Scope: Six hot-air-popped hybrids; the links are correlations stated tentatively by the authors, without olfactometry. CLM-POPCORN-001 ↗
YOMSJEATGXXYPX-UHFFFAOYSA-NChecked against PubChem and Wikidata on 2026-10-02 (identifier check run 37063263965). Every name SmellBook uses must resolve to the same single PubChem compound.
SmellBook lists a molecule only where a VERIFIED claim names it, in the role and scope that claim states. A molecule reported in a smell's evidence is not the whole smell: most smells come from many compounds together, and the studies measured particular samples, such as one cultivar, an essential oil or a cooked product.
