Panel analysis data
Panel analysis data and detection frequency If a sample is analyzed by multiple persons, i.e. a sensory panel investigation, existing panel data can be processed using the ODI in order to determine the number of panelists who found each individual olfactory impression. The ODI performs this data analysis by mouse-click and delivers the detection frequency of each com- pound. Cumulative Olfactogram The function Cumulative Olfactogram quickly and reliably delivers information as to which compounds contribute to the olfactory im- pression even when present in minute concentrations. This enables the analyst to identify the main odor active compounds in a sample. The sample is analyzed by GC-O in different dilutions to arrive at the result. The ODI adds the determined intensities for the individual dilutions and calculates the cumulative value.
