Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University students create cologne from local flavors
Chemistry students at Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University (TOGU) have developed cologne using local culinary ingredients, specifically çemen and madımak. Working in university laboratories under the guidance of faculty, the students aimed to transform regional flavors into value-added products.
Professor Yakup Budak, an instructor in the Organic Chemistry Department, noted that the project provides research and development support to companies while allowing students to gain practical experience. The initiative is supported by the İŞKUR Youth Program, which enables students to earn income while participating in production processes.
To create a pleasant scent, students worked to dilute the intense and characteristic aroma of çemen to achieve a softer fragrance profile. The project involves blending spice and seed essences to reflect the culinary culture of the Tokat region.
