The final purpose of this study is to establish the evaluating model of complex odors based on the selective recepting characteristics of odorous compounds in the sense of smell and the existing of the fundamental odor.
At first, therefore, in this paper the fundamental odor was estimated by the psychometrical method, such as the factor analysis and the cluster analysis, and the method of applying the sensory cross-adaptation of olfaction.
As a result of the qualitative classification by each method, 1, 8 cineole, 1, 2 dichloroethane, dimethyl disulfide, geraniol, methylamine, pentadecanolactone and isovaleric acid were selected as fundamental odors.
