Taste and odor profiles (off-flavors) in the drinking waters of the Barcelona area (1996-2000)

The Aigües de Barcelona laboratory systematically monitors the organoleptic quality of the water it supplies. The water comes mainly from the Llobregat and Ter rivers, with the two sources having cleary differentiated chemical characteristics. Water is monitored by the tasting panel, which works acc...

520 |a The Aigües de Barcelona laboratory systematically monitors the organoleptic quality of the water it supplies. The water comes mainly from the Llobregat and Ter rivers, with the two sources having cleary differentiated chemical characteristics. Water is monitored by the tasting panel, which works according to FPA (Flavor Profile Analysis) principles. This paper reports the results from the period 1996-2000: characteristic organoleptic profiles, evolution of descriptors and the overall organoleptic evaluation of the water. The results show that in Llobregat water the descriptors chlorinous, medicinal, rubbery and salty are the most relevant, whereas in Ter water fresh nature/grassy and metallic are. The Aesthetic Quality Index drawn up by our laboratory confirms that Ter water has better organoleptic quality than Llobregat water. Monitoring also found that neither water lost quality significantly within the distribution network
