Sniffing

Flavor Intensity. In most sensory tests, a person is asked to associate a name or a number with his perceptions of a substance he sniffed or tasted. The set from which these names or numbers are chosen is called a scale. The four general types of scales are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio (17). Each has different properties and allowable statistics (4,14). The measurement of flavor intensity, unlike the evaluation of quaUty, requires an ordered scale, the simplest of which is an ordinal scale. [Pg.2]

Jiroma. The fragrance or odor of food, perceived by the nose by sniffing. In wines, the aroma refers to odors derived from the variety of grape, eg, muscat aroma. It is the overall odor impression as perceived by the nasal cavity. [Pg.19]

The Minnesota Antifreeze is green and thick, like its namesake. You would not want to drink it until you are trapped in your car in a snowstorm, and looking for a way to make yourself happy to die in the cold.You might want to try the antifreeze in the car first.The Minnesota Antifreeze is disgusting, and I think brain health would be an issue, if you finished one. It looks and acts more like glue-sniffing than a cocktail. [Pg.47]

Fortunately, such sophistication is not always necessary to compare containers. For example, a few days after the gas chromatography tests were completed, we opened the jars and were able to detect by sniffing that the grape odor from one container was noticeably more distinct than from the other. The methyl anthranilate, which had eluded the gas chromatograph, could be detected qualitatively and, for comparative purposes, quantitatively by the human nose. [Pg.63]

False. Sniffing solvents is highly dangerous. There is a danger of sudden death caused by overstimulation of the heart or asphyxiation caused by swelling of the throat tissues or inhalation of vomit. Users also expose themselves to a high level of accident risk whilst intoxicated. [Pg.20]

Jon is nine and is very friendly with Billy who is the same age as him and lives in the next street. The two boys have played together for several years and their mothers are also friends with each other. During one summer Jon begins to notice that Billy will not talk about what he does when he isn t with Jon. Billy also seems to be very short-tempered and grumpy. Jon discovers that Billy has been sniffing lighter fuel gas in the woods behind his house with some older boys. [Pg.30]

In addition, amphetamine eauses hallueinations in humans similar to those in sehizophrenia and in rats it induees stereotyped behaviour (rearing, grooming and sniffing). This is dependent on the release of DA and bloeked by the neurolepties, whieh are DA antagonists. [Pg.354]

In this test, it is the interaction (sniffing, grooming, etc.) between two rats in a test arena that is scored. Social interaction is dependent on the familiarity of the animals with the test arena (social interaction is reduced in an unfamiliar arena) and the intensity of illumination (social interaction is reduced in bright light). The reduction in social... [Pg.398]

Heroin can be smoked ( chasing the dragon ), sniffed or prepared for injection. Opioids prescribed for medical use may be used for non-medical reasons, especially by heroin users who cannot otherwise get hold of heroin. [Pg.503]

The chemical composition of C. sativa is very complex and about 500 compounds in this plant are known. A complete list can be found in [81] with some additional supplementations [2,82]. The complex mixture of about 120 mono- and sesquiterpenes is responsible for the characteristic smell of C. sativa. One of these terpenoic compounds, carophyllene oxide, is used as leading substance for hashish detection dogs to find C. sativa material [83]. It is a widespread error that dogs that are addicted to drugs are employed for drug detection. A9-THC is an odorless substance and cannot be sniffed by dogs. [Pg.25]
