molecule 1 | cuminaldehyde |
Cuminaldehyde is a constituent of the essential oils of eucalyptus,
myrrh,
cassia, cumin
and others.
It has a pleasant smell and contributes to the aroma of these oils. It
is used commercially in perfumes and other cosmetics.
Cuminaldehyde can be prepared synthetically by the reduction of 4-isopropylbenzoyl chloride or by the formylation of cumene. (source: Wikipedia)

molecule 2 | menthol |
Menthol
is an organic compound made
synthetically or obtained from peppermint or other mint
oils. Menthol has local anesthetic and counterirritant qualities, and it is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation. (source: Wikipedia)

molecule 3 | oleic
acid |
Oleic acid
is a fatty acid that occurs
naturally in various animal andvegetable fats and oils.
It is an odorless, colourless oil, although commercial samples may be
yellowish. In chemical terms, oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. The term "oleic" means related to, or derived from, oil or olive, the oil of which is predominantly derived from oleic acid. (source: Wikipedia)

molecule 4 | carvone |
Carvone
is a member of a family of chemicals called terpenoids.
Carvone is found naturally in many essential oils, but is most abundant
in the oils from seeds of caraway (Carum carvi) and
dill. As the compound most responsible for the flavor of caraway, dill and spearmint, carvone has been used for millennia in food. (source: Wikipedia)

molecule 5 | ethyl
lactate |
Ethyl
lactate: This compound is considered biodegradable
and can be used as a water-rinsible degreaser. Ethyl lactate is found
naturally in small quantities in a wide variety of foods including
wine, chicken, and various fruits. The odor of ethyl lactate when
dilute is mild, buttery, creamy, with hints of fruit and coconut.
Ethyl lactate is produced from biological sources. Ethyl lactate is also produced industrially from petrochemical stocks. Due to its relatively low toxicity, ethyl lactate is used commonly in pharmaceutical preparations, food additives and fragrances. (source: Wikipedia)

molecule 6 | alanine |
Alanine is
an α-amino
acid. It is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the genetic code. Alanine accounts in the primary structure in a sample of 1,150 proteins. It also occurs in bacterial cell walls and in some peptide antibiotics. Alanine is a nonessential amino acid, meaning it can be manufactured by the human body, and does not need to be obtained directly through the diet. Alanine is found in a wide variety of foods, but is particularly concentrated in meats. (source: Wikipedia)

molecule 7 | vitamin
C |
Vitamin
C or L-ascorbic acid, or simply ascorbate (the anion of ascorbic acid), is
an essential nutrient for humans and certain other animal species. Ascorbic acid is also widely used as a food additive, to prevent oxidation. (source: Wikipedia)

molecule 8 | glucose |
Glucose is
a simple sugar that plays an important role in biology. Cells use it as
the primary source of energy and
a metabolic intermediate. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and fuels for cellular respiration. (source: Wikipedia)
