Aroma value

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The aroma value of a substance is the quotient of the concentration of this substance and the odor threshold , i.e. the concentration that can just be perceived. An aroma value greater than 1 means that the connection can be perceived.

The aroma value characterizes compounds that contribute to the aroma . Neither synergistic effects nor antagonisms are taken into account. Determining the aroma value is very time-consuming, as all odor thresholds in the relevant solvent must be known.
