3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
relative density
ratio of the mass of a given volume of fragrance/flavor substances at a given temperature (t℃) to the mass of an equal volume of distilled water at the same temperature
Note: This quantity is dimensionless and its symbol is d_t^t.
3.2
absolute density
ratio of the mass of a given volume of the fragrance/flavor substances at a given temperature (t℃) to the same volume
