Table5.2 reviewed including footnotes for differing ethanol matrices. Compound count and odor-activity value are not quality scores. Archaeological distillation claims need original-source checks.
Chapter by Jun Zhang, Shuang Chen, Yan Ping L. Qian and Michael C. Qian. Entire chapter reviewed: supplied PDF 187–228. Key passages: PDF 200–216.
Detection, concentration and odor importance are distinct. GC-olfactometry, recombination and omission tests answer different questions. Odor thresholds depend on matrix; mixture interactions can mask, add or enhance, while simple models do not establish behavior in complex spirits.
