Published thresholds

11 measured values from the literature. Grouped by what was actually measured — a threshold smelled in clean water, tasted in the mouth, or measured in a real food are three different quantities and are not pooled.

Orthonasal, in clean water

0.254 ppb

The reference measurement — smelled in water. OAV is computed against this.

0.254 ppb SIDA	water	Rychlik 1998 · 2 studies	—

In a food matrix

0.021 ppb – 11.8 ppb

Measured in a real food, where the matrix shifts detection — not a clean-water value.
