The smell <strong>of</strong> Carvone<br />

Mint leaves <strong>and</strong> Caraway seeds<br />

both contain a molecule called<br />

carvone.<br />

However, the two carvone molecules<br />

are actually not identical, they are<br />

mirror forms or stereo isomers.<br />

1. With a spoon, crush the caraway<br />

seeds in a bowl.<br />

2. With another spoon, crush the<br />

mint leaves in another bowl.<br />

3. Smell the difference!
