Comments

 
Picture
Rotting-flesh sickly-sweet smelling compound produced from amino acid lysine by microbes such as E. coli, Shewanella putrefaciens, Vibrio spp., and Morganella morganii.  Also known as  1,5-pentanediamine and pentamethylenediamine. 
Cadaverine is one of the best-characterized chemicals responsible for the "smell of death" (from decomposing, putrefying body)

Camembert

Comments

 
Picture
​a kind of rich, soft, creamy surface-ripened cheese with a whitish rind, originally made from unpasteurized caw's milk near Camembert in Normandy, France. ​

The cheese is made by inoculating warmed milk with mesophilic bacteria, then adding rennet and allowing the mixture to coagulate. 

At the beginning of its ripening (48 hours), Camembert is crumbly and soft and gets creamier over time (usually 2-3 weeks). A genuine Camembert has a delicate salty taste.

Consumption of Camembert cheese increases Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides levels in the gut.

Carpeting

Comments

 
Picture
all floor or stair coverings in the house, usually made from thick woven fabric shaped to fit each room. 
Synthetic carpets are made from nylon fibers with a polypropylene backing. Of the chemicals released from carpet, most notable are styrene and 4-phenylcyclohexane (4-PC responsible for the ‘new carpet’ smell).
Carpeting and rugs made from natural materials, like wool, typically don't contain flame-retardants or stain-resistant chemicals and will naturally repel insects. 
Green Label carpets include 
Earth Weave's Bio-Floor, Woolshire, Helios and Bloomsburg.
