2-Methylisoborneol is a fungal metabolite with a strong earthy odor that contributes to the taste and odor of water supplies. 2-Methylisoborneol solutions are used in controlled sensory analysis to establish the odor threshold concentrations in water. By diluting the solution to different concentrations, researchers can determine the minimum level at which 2-Methylisoborneol becomes detectable to the human sense of smell, which is critical for assessing water quality and treatment efficacy. Experimental setups often utilize 2-Methylisoborneol solutions to test the effectiveness of various water treatment techniques. For instance, different types of activated carbon filters or advanced oxidation processes are evaluated based on their capacity to remove 2-Methylisoborneol from the solution.
