Identification of Odor-causing Causes for Odor Generation Sources {Identification of odor-causing components from odor sources}

The present invention relates to an odor evaluation method for more accurately and easily discriminating an odor causing component that affects the actual odor of components generated from an odor generating source.

Smells have unpleasant smells such as incense and smell like sewer. These unpleasant smells are generally called stinks. In Korea 's Anti - Odor Law, odor is defined as the smell of hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, amines, and other irritating gaseous substances acting on the human' s smell, giving it discomfort and disgust.

Odorous substances are a kind of air pollutants and they are similar to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and tend to be treated similarly, but the biggest difference is that odor causes discomfort.

At present, the designated odor substances according to the Korean Society of Odor Control Law are total 22 kinds, namely, ammonia, methyl mercaptan, hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, trimethylamine, acetaldehyde, styrene, propionaldehyde, , n-valeric aldehyde, i-valeraldehyde, toluene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyrate ketone, butylacetate, propionic acid, n-butyric acid, n- It is managed by le alcohol.

On the other hand, odorous substances are sensory pollutants that cause mental and physiological stress that is not visually identifiable and dependent on human olfactory sense. Odorogenic sources are also very diverse and are mostly caused by the complex nature of several compounds rather than a single substance. It is also a pollutant that is very difficult to objectively measure and evaluate because it is influenced by various factors such as weather conditions and human senses. Therefore, it is necessary to objectively measure and evaluate the odorous substances generated from the odor source through the reproducibility of odor substances generated from the odor source.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an evaluation method for more accurately and easily discriminating causal elements that have a direct and direct effect on each odor generation source, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an evaluation method for odor reduction by accurately identifying what constitutes an odor- To improve environmental pollution and product quality.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a sensory evaluation method, comprising: a sensory evaluation step of identifying a kind of odorous substance using a direct sensory method; A gas sample preprocessing step of collecting the gas generated from the odor generating source into a plastic bag and then adsorbing and absorbing the odor type or adsorbing and absorbing the gas generated from the odor source directly according to the type of odor; A device analyzing step of confirming the detected components by analyzing the devices according to the types of odorous substances; A minimum sensing method evaluation step of confirming a minimum sensing value for the detected component; A smell reproducibility evaluation step of preparing a standard gas which is the same as the concentration determined in the sample only for the substance selected as the smell substance and judging whether or not the standard gas is identical to the smell through the comparative sensory evaluation with the sample gas Provides an evaluation method for the odor causing agent selection process.

The vinyl bag may be a vinyl bag made of polyester.

The equipment used for the above equipment analysis can be temperature controlled by a gas chromatograph and temperature of the oven can be adjusted by adjusting the flow rate of the pipe.

The minimum sensing method evaluation is a primary gas manufacturing step in which a reagent of a single substance is injected into a glass bottle for gas production and vaporized to a component detected through a device analysis; Preparing a sample for sensory evaluation in which a predetermined amount of the primary gas is injected and diluted only in one of a plurality of bags containing odorless gas; A sample sensory evaluation step in which a plurality of judges smell to evaluate the lowest sensed concentration until the highest result is obtained; And a minimum sensing value confirming step of confirming a result of the determination source having the lowest detection concentration and excluding the highest determination source. If the reagent of the detection component is a gaseous component, a sample for sensory evaluation can be prepared by omitting the primary gas production step and immediately diluting it in a bag containing an odorless gas.

Hereinafter, the odor reproducibility evaluation method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the detailed process.

1. Sampling step

To pick up the odor origins and ingredients from the raw materials, use a plastic bag made of polyester with no odor or VOC. The bag that can be used for the evaluation should have very little reaction with various odor components. The sample collecting bag used in the present invention has a thickness of only 38 microns but does not tear easily and does not deteriorate when the sample is not a strong acid or a strong base. Further, various gases constituting the odor, organic solvent vapor, nitrogen, oxygen , Carbon dioxide, and the like.

2. Sensory Evaluation Step

The overall process is shown in FIG. 1, which is a method applied to measure odor intensity and odor quality, in which a gaseous substance stimulates the nose of a person to give offensive and repulsive effects. Although there is an advantage that it can be evaluated in a short time compared with the instrumental analysis method, the sensitivity of the result to the same sample may be large because the sensitivity is different depending on the type of odor of each odorant participating in the odor test, have.

3. Instrument Analysis Phase

The selection of the evaluation items is based on the 22 designated odor substances regulated by Korea's Anti-Odor Control Act, and identifies the detected components of ammonia, amines, sulfur compounds, aldehydes, volatile organic compounds, and lower fatty acids. The evaluation methods for each component are shown in Table 1 below.
