Use of n‐butanol as an odorant to standardize the organoleptic scale of breath odour judges

Abstract: The published method had erroneous headspace calculations listed and n-butanol could not be recommended as a training odorant because of its irritancy.

“…In clinics a major problem of the organoleptic method is that it is impossible to ensure consistency in large numbers of judgments by several examiners. For calibrating and training the examiners, standard compounds (such as n-butanol) are utilized, but these compounds can not necessarily predict odor judges responses to VSCs [29,50]. The primary contributors to oral malodor are H 2 S and CH 3 SH and these should be utilized for calibrating and training the examiners.…”

“…The scores did not correlate with gas chromatography scores at all and the use of n-butanol could not be recommended because of its irritant nature. 85 For a good agreement between judges, patients must abstain from hygiene practises, smoking, antibiotics, and foods containing garlic, onion, and spices prior to the examination. 6 Furthermore, the agreement between judges may be increased if they themselves avoid drinking coffee, tea, and juice, smoking, and using scented cosmetics before the organoleptic measurements.…”

“…In the literature, To define the maximum score in organoleptic studies, the 5 represents being close to saturation of the olfactory receptors [43]. It was assumed that the sniffer reached the maximum (5) odor score when the olfactory receptors were saturated by odor molecules (ligand) [13,16].…”
