Journal ArticleDOI
The capacity of humans to identify odors in mixtures
David G. Laing,G. W. Francis +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the capacity of humans to process information about odors perceived simultaneously may be limited, or that odors in mixtures blend to form a new odor with few of the characteristics of the constituent odors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infants' Consumption of a New Food Enhances Acceptance of Similar Foods
TL;DR: Results for the other foods suggest that infants may have difficulty discriminating among many foods, and exposure dramatically increased infants' intake of the target food, from an average of 35-72 g to 60 g after one exposure to the targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Sniffing Gives Optimum Odour Perception for Humans
TL;DR: It is shown that it is very difficult to improve on the efficiency of sniffing techniques of individuals and that a single natural sniff provides as much information about the presence and intensity of an odour as do seven or more sniffs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of training and experience on the perception of multicomponent odor mixtures.
Andrew Livermore,David G. Laing +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that for both panels only 3 or 4 components of a complex mixture could be discriminated and identified and that this capacity could not be increased by training, and the limit may be imposed physiologically or by processing constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality and intensity of binary odor mixtures
TL;DR: The perceived intensity and quality of binary mixtures consisting of the common but dissimilar odorants, benzaldehyde (almond), eugenol (cloves), propionic acid (vinegar) and (-)-carvone (spearmint), were determined and showed that the intensity of odorants not their quality determined the contribution of each to the quality of a mixture.
