Referenssihajuja
Referenssihajuja, known in English as reference odors or standard odors, are carefully prepared and characterized scent samples used in olfaction research, sensory evaluation, and quality control. Their primary purpose is to provide a consistent and reproducible baseline for evaluating other smells.
These reference odors are typically produced in controlled laboratory conditions to ensure their purity and concentration.
In sensory science, reference odors are crucial for training sensory panels and calibrating their perception. By
Reference odors also play a role in the development of electronic noses and other olfaction-related technologies.
