The present disclosure generally provides methods for identifying and using compounds that attenuate certain malodorous aromas associated with plant proteins, and the assays related to such methods. In certain aspects, the disclosure provides methods of identifying compounds that attenuate certain malodorous aromas associated with plant proteins by determining whether the compounds modulate certain olfactory receptors responsible for perceiving these malodorous aromas. In certain other aspects, the disclosure provides uses of such identified compounds to attenuate the human perception of such malodorous aromas when heating or consuming an ingestible composition that comprises a plant proteins, such as vegan replicas of meat products, seafood products, or dairy products. In certain other aspects, the disclosure provides flavored products, such as food or beverage products, that incorporate compounds that attenuate such malodorous aromas.
