A study on the correlation between the odor intensity and dilution factor
of fatty acids, i-butyl alcohol
1*輱2
Abstracts
This study aims to understand the correlation between odor intensity and dilution factor using the Air Dilution
Olfactory Method, which is suggested in the Standard Method of Odor Compounds, by measuring odor intensity
and dilution factor for fatty acids and i-butyl alcohol. For the measurement, 18 panel members were selected
through a panel test, and odor intensity and dilution factor by substance produced from the selected panel were
estimated. The estimation showed that the correlation of odor intensity with dilution factor for a fatty acids and
i-butyl alcohol can be reasonably expressed by the equation I = Alog D + 0.5 (I : odor Intensity, D : dilution factor,
A : material constant). The material constant was in order of propionic acid 2.0709, n-butyric acid 1.6006, n-valeric
acid 1.3369, i-valeric acid 1.182, i-butyl alcohol 1.4326. The geometric average of increased dilution factor for
the 5 compounds is about 4.8 time, 3.0 time for propionic acid and 7.0 tme for i-valeric acid due to odor intensity
1 increasing. It is suggested that the result of this study could be used as a base data for research on measures
to improve the regulation standards for complex odor concentrations at a boundary sites in operation.
