Abstract
Chemically, scent marks and natural flavours mostly consist of complex mixtures of chemical compounds,which are neither easily recorded nor interpreted. The facts that the size of a signal in the chemical detection(mass spectrometer) does not necessarily relate to the size in perceptual space and that a signal can just as well be encoded as bouquet of compounds than depending on presence and absence of multiple or single components complicate matters even further. In a recent project on European otters and an ongoing EU project on fruit and vegetable flavours we addressed these issues by using novel approaches in data evaluation and sample collection and data acquisition.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
