Supports a durable maturation-and-proof mechanism while preserving the source’s caution. This passage should not be turned into a deterministic prediction. Fresh audit: Nonideal matrix effects are supported as a qualified synthesis; specific molecular explanations and maturation mechanisms remain hypotheses.
The chapter summary synthesizes the preceding experimental literature and expressly identifies uncertainty and discrepancies.
Miller concludes that congener activity varies with ethanol concentration and with interactions among esters, alcohols, aldehydes, and wood extracts. The effects are nonlinear and not simply additive; a predictive model is still lacking, but the evidence suggests that small matrix changes can produce large changes in congener activity and sensory character.
