MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALING OF ODORANTS: EXAMINATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL DIMENSIONS

Abstract
Nineteen odorants were arranged in a two-dimensional space by ALSCAL, a nonmetric multidimensional scaling procedure, on the basis of similarity of psychological odor quality. Adjective scales concerning hedonic and ‘tactile’ qualities were related to the spatial arrangement Physiocochemical properties such as Raman spectra, Laffort's parameters, and functional group were related to the arrangement as well.
