40 cápsulas · 8 notas extrañas · Out of stock right now
Forty sensory standard capsules: eight off-notes, five of each.
What is in it. Acetaldehyde, which reads as green apple. Motor fuel, diesel or petrol. Ethyl acetate, fruity and solvent-like. Fermented. Nonanal, fatty and waxy. DMS, cabbage. Hydrogen sulfide, rotten egg. And fish oil.
What it is for. The CO₂ that carbonates a drink is an ingredient like any other, and it can carry contamination. This kit trains a panel to catch it before it reaches the bottle.
It is used in the sensory workshops, and also sold on its own.
