Claims
1. A system for analyzing an aroma emanating from a source, comprising: a test sample of gas containing an unknown chemical composition produced by the source; a reference sample of gas containing an unknown background chemical that is not produced by the source; one or more gas analyzers suitable for receiving the test sample of gas and the reference sample of gas and outputting it least a two-dimensional odorgram pertaining to the received test sample of gas and the reference sample of gas; and an iterative adaptive function implemented as a software program operating on a computer, the iterative adaptive function suitable for suppressing the unknown background chemical from the odorgram so that an identity of the unknown chemical composition can be determined.
