Excerpt Text

Table 4 reports 26 odorants with OAVs above one, including ethanol. Most ratios use thresholds in nominal 40% ethanol; ethanol's own ratio uses its threshold in water, and whisky-lactone thresholds are taken from earlier literature. OAVs identify candidates, not independent perceptual necessity.
