CLM-CARAMEL-002 · VERIFIED

What makes caramel smell typical

Odorants previously identified in caramel were sorted into eight odour categories and each category was reconstituted; a combined mixture was validated by sensory analysis, and omission, addition and factorial tests indicated that caramel typicality results from a complex balance between fruity, vegetal, sharp, nutty and caramel notes.

SCOPE

Model mixtures built from earlier identifications, not a new analysis of one caramel; the abstract names kinds of compounds, not single compounds.

SUPPORT CHECK

The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc).
