Title = Characterization
of Linoleum. Part 2: Preliminary Odor Evaluation |
Abstract = The
odor of 13 linoleum samples was investigated by different methods. 1) Gas
chromatography (GC) with sniffing was used to ensure that no significant
odorant was overlooked. 2) Odor intensity evaluation of the linoleum samples
was correlated with GC data from Part I of this study. Partial least squares
regression yielded two factors capable of explaining 77% of the odor intensity
variation. The most important classes of compounds were 2-alkenals and
fatty acids. 3) Odor indexes of the individual VOCs were compared in order
to evaluate their relative odor impact. 4) The odor of linoleum was simulated
by a synthetic mixture compounded according to the GC data. It had an odor
closely resembling that from certain varieties of linoleum. |
