Abstract

The reproducibility of odor thresholds determined by forced-choice dynamic triangle olfactometry was studied employing panels of 23- 45 subjects who tested 12 odorants, with four replications for one (1-butanol). Depending on the selection of panelists, their number, and between-session differences in olfactometer variables, the standard deviation of log(threshold) values ranged from 0.12 (same session, different panels of nine) to 0.37 (different sessions, different panels of nine). Among the demographic factors, only age was found significant; those below age of 30 were 1.6-3 times more sensitive than the older group. No systematic sensitivity difference was found between females and males, and nonsmokers and smokers. Suspicion has been raised in the literature that the method used here, ASTM E679, yields biased results. It is shown for panels of 6-45 members that such biases are inconsequential if the range of concentration presented to the panelists is large enough, and the group threshold is well wit...
