Detection threshold values
The animals discriminated concentrations as low as
Bourgeonal: 0.1 ppq (parts per quadrillion)
Helional: 1 ppb (parts per billion)
Cyclamal: 1 ppb (parts per billion)
Lilial: 1 ppb (parts per billion)
Lyral: 1 ppb (parts per billion)
3-PPA: 10 ppb (parts per billion)
Canthoxal: 10 ppb (parts per billion)
from the odorless solvent, with individuals even scoring better for all odorants other than bourgeonal.
