"Odor source" refers to something that is causing a particular smell or aroma. It is the origin or location from which the odor is originating.

Odor Source Searching Behavior on the Brain - Machine Hybrid System.
By genetic manipulation, Bargmann and her team swapped the receptors for two different odorants between two neurons, and produced opposite effects to those that normally occur — a receptor for an attractive odor, now on a neuron that usually responded to noxious odors, caused worms to move away from the
attractive odor source.
-- by naturally biodegrading the stain or
odor source.
«A lot of papers have been trying to find
these odor sources that could repel or attract mosquitoes,» said Riffell.
However, plumes emitted from
an odor source are not smooth or continuous, and have no clear concentration gradient.
A standing event, which was when they would go over to
the odor source and stand on top of it as if they kind of wanted to hang out by that odor source.
And then the other was a tasting event, where they would actually associate the memory of the sucrose on their legs and begin to lick their legs when they were near to
an odor source.
This result was especially interesting, because the experimental set - up ensured that the antennae, the actual «nose» of the moth, were excluded from
the odor source.
If a fly moves upwind, towards
the odor source, the odor is rated as attractive.
If a fly moves downwind, away from
the odor source, the odor is rated a deterrent.
It works 10 times faster than traditional cleaning sprays and penetrates deeper to reach
the odor source.
Once CLEAN+GREEN encapsulates
the odor source, it becomes a microbial - food source for the indigenous bacteria in the environment, which accelerates the biodegradability of the odor source.
Seaman explains that when CLEAN+GREEN is sprayed on a surface, it shears the hydrocarbon chain of
an odor source, and then encapsulates the odor source, which immediately eliminates the odor.
