The other smell is a chemical compound called phenlyalanene...



I work with phenylalanine almost every day - it hardly has an odor to it at all! Was there anything else in the compound? Allithiamine? Quercetin?



Did you work with it in solid form, or solution? Because I swear that was the compound. That stuff got everywhere. Besides, don't people who can't process it have an odor? They can't change PHE to tyrosine because of some enzyme failure, so the PHE just builds up in the body.

Then again, I handled a ton of white powder at that job. I'll ask tomorrow, see if anyone else remembers.
