TLDR

It is found that vanillin, ethyl vanillin and eugenol showed appetite-enhancing effects, whereas isoeugenol and safrole did not, and the results of intraperitoneal administration of eugenols and vanillin suggest that their appetite- enhancing effects could occur via stimulation of olfactory receptors.
