Use this as a measurement-boundary example, not as proof for or against a full sensory difference. Fresh audit: Endpoint limitation retained: headspace/olfactory results cannot settle gustatory, tactile or preference effects.
Review of filtration, haze-forming compounds, and endpoint-specific sensory inference.
The cited chill-filtration study found no significant change in measured headspace aroma, but it did not assess mouthfeel or taste; its result therefore cannot establish that chill filtration has no sensory effect of any kind.
