✦ Synopsis
Today's methods for measuring odours from paperboard intended for packaging materials are often time consuming, so producers of packaging materials need to ®nd a quick reliable method that can describe not only the volatile compounds, but also the odour from the packaging. Odour analysis and an `electronic nose' have been used to measure the volatile compounds from paperboard. The results from the measurements have been statistically evaluated by partial least squares regression (PLS). The signals from some electronic sensors correlated well with a selected number of descriptors while some sensors have no descriptors that ®t.
