General
- 1 g/mL = 1000000 ppm (from Stephen)
- 1 ppm = μg/g = μg/ml = ng/mg = pg/μg = 10-6 from [1]
- molecular weight of isoamyl acetate = 130.19 from [2]
- The FW of an ion species is equal to its concentration in ppm at 10-3M. Fluoride has a FW of 19, hence a 10-3M concentration is equal to 19ppm, 1M is equal to 19,000 ppm and 1ppm is equal to 5.2 x 10-5M. from [3]
Isoamyl alcohol
- 13.6 μL isoamyl alcohol in 25 mL culture
- molecular weight of isoamyl alcohol = 88.15 g/mol from [4]
- specific gravity = 0.813 at 15°C relative to water at 4°C (Merck Index)
- 5 mM isoamyl alcohol
Salicylic acid
- 276 ppm salicylic acid
- molecular weight of salicylic acid = 138.123 g/mol
- 276 ppm = 1.998e-3 M = 2 mM salicylic acid
Odor thresholds
Also see http://www.leffingwell.com/odorthre.htm
Methyl salicylate
- molecular weight = 152.15 g/mol
- odor threshold = 0.1 ppm = 0.7 μM
Isoamyl acetate
- molecular weight = 130.18 g/mol
- odor threshold = 0.22 ppm = 1.7 μM
