A threshold value is unusable as a universal constant unless its matrix, method, temperature, and definition travel with it. Fresh audit: All appendix tables checked. Preserve detection/recognition/taste/astringency endpoint, solvent and stereochemistry. Copper units conflict with PDF178 by1000; whisky-lactone detection labels and several synonyms need primary reconciliation. This record supports conditionality, not certification of every tabulated number.
Introduction to and full span of Appendix A's heterogeneous threshold tables.
The threshold compilation combines detection, recognition, olfactory, and taste values obtained in water, beer, wine, and spirits under different temperatures and protocols. Values for the same compound can vary substantially with solvent partitioning, method, and assessor population.

A threshold value is unusable as a universal constant unless its matrix, method, temperature, and definition travel with it.
Supports
Sensory thresholds are conditional on matrix and method
