Chromatogram (top) and aromagram (bottom) resulting from simultaneous chemical and sensory analyses highlighting identified compounds in P. tigris altaica marking fluid responsible for the highest top 10 measured intense odors. Confirmation of compounds was performed via chemical standards for all listed compounds with the exception of 2-AP. 2-AP was confirmed using top five ions spectral match, retention time, and odor panelist observations. The odor characters listed are based on observed panelists’ evaluations.
