Earthy-musty flavors are a prevalent customer complaint for drinking water utilities. Taste and odor (T&O) thresholds ofthese off-flavor-causing compounds are used as treatment targets. The objectives of this study weremainly to reassess T&O thresholds of both MIB and geosmin. In addition, sensority testing experimentswere performed to investigate the resulting perception when geosmin and MIB are both present in solutionand to clarify the effect of chlorine on both geosmin and MIB (masking or confusion in the perception). Includes 8 references, tables, figures.
