Characterization of Potent Odorants Causing a Pickle-like Off-Odor in Moutai-Aroma Type Baijiu by Comparative Aroma Extract Dilution Analysis, Quantitative Measurements, Aroma Addition and Omission Studies.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2020
A potent unpleasant aroma presenting a pickle-like off-odor in Moutai-aroma type Baijiu was studied by comparative aroma extract dilution analysis (cAEDA).

Hedonics of Odors and Odor Descriptors

Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association, 1984
The hedonic tone (pleasantness-unpleasantness) of an air pollution odor depends on its character and influences how annoying the odor may be. In the context of air pollution, both unpleasant and pleasant odors may become objectionable, while this is less likely for hedonically neutral odors.

Cognitive factors in odor detection, odor discrimination, and odor identification tasks

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2010
The purpose of this study was to determine cognitive correlates of olfactory performance across three different tasks. A total of 170 men and women (30-87 years of age) were assessed in olfactory sensitivity, discrimination, and identification. Also, participants were tested in a range of cognitive tests covering executive functioning, semantic memory,

The Sociology of Odors

American Journal of Sociology, 1972
Despite their many endeavors, sociologists have yet to systematically analyze the significance of olfactory phenomena in human interaction. In this essay, theauthors explore the social definitions of individuals, groups, and settings in terms of odors; and it is suggested that interpersonal and group relationships are at least partially contingent upon

Odor matching and odor memory in the rat

Physiology & Behavior, 1993
To assess olfactory matching-to-sample learning, rats were exposed to two odors separated by a 1-s presentation of clean air. If, and only if, the odors were identical, a response produced a water reinforcer. High levels of performance were maintained over a series of 10 novel three-odor matching-to-sample problems on this conditional go/no-go ...

Study of odors

Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association (Scientific ed.), 1950
Odors have been difficult to measure and classify with accuracy principally because no objective measuring method has been developed. The mechanism of olfaction is but little understood; several theories have been presented but none has been generally accepted.

The influence of odor type on the discrimination and identification of odorants in multicomponent odor mixtures

Physiology & Behavior, 1998
Using a limited set of odorants, previous studies have indicated that the ability of humans to discriminate and identify the components of olfactory mixtures is limited to approximately four. However, the ability to generalize these results may have been limited by specific neural or cognitive interactions among the particular odorants used.

The Color of Odors

Brain and Language, 2001
The interaction between the vision of colors and odor determination is investigated through lexical analysis of experts' wine tasting comments. The analysis shows that the odors of a wine are, for the most part, represented by objects that have the color of the wine.

An odor is not worth a thousand words: from multidimensional odors to unidimensional odor objects.

Annual Review of Psychology, 2013
Olfaction is often referred to as a multidimensional sense. It is multidimensional in that approximately 1000 different receptor types, each tuned to particular odor aspects, together contribute to the olfactory percept.

Odorization

2003
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses odorization of gasses. The primary objective of gas odorization is safety. It allows natural gas in air to be detected before it reaches combustible levels and hence acts as a warning. Naturally, odorization is a part of risk management for pipelines of natural gas.
