Y. Hoshika et al., A STUDY ON THE DETERMINATION OF ODOR RECOGNITION THRESHOLD VALUES OF N-AMYL AND ISO-AMYL (PENTYL) ACETATES USING TEDLAR BAG STATIC METHODS, Analytical sciences, 13, 1997, pp. 505-508
The determination of odor recognition threshold values of n- and iso-a
myl (pentyl) acetates was carried out by odor panel test (Japanese stu
dents 18-22 years old;6 males and a female) using 10-liter Tedlar bag
static method. The trace concentrations of n- and iso-amyl acetates in
the Tedlar bag were determined by gas chromatography and an odor sens
or (SnO2 type). The odor recognition threshold values of amyl acetates
were 7.70 ppm for n-amyl and 1.50 ppm for iso-amyl. The odor quality
from several odor panels were evaluated, such as a binder solvent-like
, aqueous paint, stimuli, fruity, aromatic, ether-like, gasoline-like,
pungent, minty, sour, petroleum-like, respectively.
