If you mean food groups then:
The average human nose can detect nearly 10,000 distinct scents, a feat that requires about 1,000 olfactory genes, or roughly 3 per cent of the human genome.
While previous science has suggested that our sense of smell converts odours into brain signals just like our vision converts light into brain signals.
While a key protein pathway is used in both, it behaves quite differently in the nose than it does in the eye. At issue is the behaviour of a huge family of proteins called G-protein-coupled receptors. When activated by light in the eye or a molecule in other settings, each G-protein-coupled receptor uses a similar switch - the exchange of a tiny bit called GTP for a related bit called GDP on the aptly named G-protein - to trigger the cell's response.
So they are all different claire

God knows. Dried egg white and casein are two protein-rich powders I've used regularly and neither of them smell particularly of anything. They could mean it smells like spunk, I suppose.

This was the last thread I posted on before I went off to douse the bathroom in bleach... Was it even meant for me?
Aaaaanywaaaay ajm, when my waters break they are supposed to smell like protein. I don't know what this smells like

Anyway... protein doesn't smell as such.... if it did, we would smell our own smell receptors!
Having never smelt human amniotic fluid I can't comment, but I would imagine it smells of very little.

I'm reliably informed there are other symptoms when your waters break - so you wont need to "smell the puddle" .
Obviously getting close now - Good luck.

When my GFs waters broke I can't remember a protein smell. All I remember is the gallons of water pouring out of her foof and feeling like I was going to hurl on the midwifes head.
Almost dropped the camcorder!

I just didn't know what protein smells like and was curious!

Yes, I'd agree. The stream of gushing water down your legs forming a puddle on the floor will be more recognisable than performing a smell analysis exercise.
...just make sure you're in M&S at the time....you get what's in your basket at the time free
Alternatively, if you're up for it, go into M&S anyway, pish your pants, and clutch your bump in a 'f**king hell - this is it" type manner....make sure you've got at least a case of champagne, 100 ready meals, and some cheese puffs in your trolley....
