what type of scents that increase your appetite?

Answer 1

Subliminal stimulus, scents are a big part of food and by association they trick one into making choices. I smell a dessert and feel hungry but first think of dinner. Not just a entree but a formal dinner, why, most formal dinners include dessert. I smell roast beef however and dont think of cabbage. Odd in a way, but marketers i'm sure have a scent chart that assists people to make sublime choices. Time for me to run, I just smelled a pie coming from the oven, gotta make dinner.

Answer 2

It's said that a smell will bring back memories, variations from Thanksgiving at Grandmothers house or cool breeze in a Field would bring back memories of a picnic. The right combination can make the mouth water. Walk through a bakery making whatever is you have smelled it and associate it with a good experience with food your appetite will increase.

Answer 3

Usually - any food scent will increase the appetite for that kind of food.

For eg: smell of waffle cone will increase appetite for ice creams.

Smell of cookies will increase appetite for milk and cookies.

Answer 4

Aromas from cooking do it for me. I have fond memories from my childhood, from a summer home we had in Wisconsin. It was more a cabin with 3 bedrooms (1 for the boys, 1 for the girls, 1 for the parents, there were 9 of us, 4 boys, 3 girls, plus the german shepherds), than a house. The main room was a combined kitchen/family room. If you have seen the series on TV, The Waltons, then you can see something like the kitchen/living room/dining area. Our main living area looked very much like the main living area in The Waltons. The rest of the Walton's house is nothing like our summer home No 2nd floor. No indoor plumbing. Water came from a well and a hand pump outside the back door into buckets. We used kerosene lamps (even though there was electricity installed many years later on). In the winter, when snow was on the ground, going to the outhouse at night was something else. BUT, what I remember mainly, is this, waking up to the smell of eggs and bacon in a frying pan, pancakes, fried potato latkes and the big one, perking coffee. To this day, when I smell coffee brewing, I salivate in anticipation. I am like one of Pavlov's dogs in this respect. Yes, these aromas increase my appitite. I love the smell of brewing coffee first thing in the morning. I love the smell of eggs with bacon in a frying pan in real butter. Baking bread in an oven is an absolute turn-on and when I am making my own bread my patience grows thin quickly and my stomach growls increasingly the longer it takes for the bread to come out so I can layer on butter so it can melt in and I can enjoy a few moments of absolute bliss. I love the smell of melted butter on pancakes with real maple syrup. And, to answer your question, yes, these aromas of food preparation make me want to eat more than I proabaly should, and sometimes I do. I can;t help myself. For example, I found out in my cooking expereince, there is NO substitute for real butter. Julia Child was 100% on the mark when she said this about real butter. I jeard, and I listened to Julia. Julia Child never skimped on the stuff she used and I learned from her to not skimp either, and I don't. The ONLY thing limiting my weight is my personal willpower. I choose to eat less mostly even though from time to time I splurge and simply eat until I am stuffed. If you are on a low carb diet, or a strict vegetarian, then you probably won't be eating dinner at my house anytime soon. I diet to control my weight by limiting quantity, not content.

Answer 5

Mainly it's an aroma of just-baked bread or similar stuff.
