Figure 1.
Genotypic variation in OR7D4 accounts for 40% of the variance in androstenone intensity.
Subjects identified as sensitive to androstenone by the 2-trial 3AFC test are represented by circles, and subjects identified as insensitive are represented by Xs. Each subject rated the intensity of androstenone four times–all four ratings are plotted. Note that none of the subjects classified as sensitive carry the WM allele.
Figure 2.
Change in intensity ratings following sensitization.
The y-axis represents the mean of all possible pairings of ratings before sensitization with ratings after sensitization. Error bars represent standard deviation.

Figure 3.
Consumer evaluation of cooked meat samples.
Error bars represent standard error and lines represent a smoothing spline. Note that the scores are inverted for easier comparison with Figure 4. On this figure a rating of 1 indicates “like very much” and a rating of 7 indicates “dislike very much”.
Figure 4.
Sensory assessor evaluation of cooked meat samples.
Error bars represent standard error and lines represent a smoothing spline. A rating of 1 was labelled “low intensity” and a rating of 9 was labelled “high intensity”.
