PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- A U.S. study says in addition to fingerprints and DNA every person may have a unique odor that can't be altered even by eating foods like chili or garlic.
Tests on mice conducted by the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia indicate that individual aroma may have come about as a means of choosing mates or marking out territories, The Daily Telegraph of Britain reported Monday.
Jae Kwak, who led the mice odor study, says "odorprinting" could have a practical use.
"These findings indicated that biologically-based odor prints, like fingerprints, could be a reliable way to identify individuals." Kwak told the newspaper.
