title: Contribution of activity coefficients of methylene homologues to odor and flavor detection thresholds.
abstract: Odor and flavor detection thresholds D were related to their activity coefficients at infinite dilution in water,gammaW, with constant values of DgammaW (apparent threshold activity) for methylene homologues of carbon number up to about 8 or 5.
