The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) is a regional trade organization and free trade area consisting of four European states: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. The organization operates in parallel with the European Union (EU), and all four member states participate in the European Single Market and are part of the Schengen Area.They are not, however, party to the European Union Customs Union.

Videotex was one of the earliest implementations of an end-user information system. From the late 1970s to early 2010s, it was used to deliver information (usually pages of text) to a user in computer-like format, typically to be displayed on a television or a dumb terminal.

Volatile fatty acids are classified as water-soluble fatty acids that can be distilled at atmospheric pressure. (Standard Methods Committee of the American Public Health Association, American Water Works Association, and Water Environment Federation. 5560 organic and volatile acids In: Standard Methods For the Examination of Water and Wastewater. Lipps WC, Baxter TE, Braun-Howland E, editors. Washington DC: APHA Press.
DOI: 10.2105/SMWW.2882.111)
Note
Most volatile fatty acids are also short chain fatty acids, but not all short chain fatty acids are volatile enough to be considered volatile fatty acids. In some cases they are used interchangeably.
Water activity is a measure of free moisture in a product and is the water vapour pressure of the substance divided by the vapour pressure of pure water at the same temperature. (J.P. Roffi, FAO Language Resources Project, 2005 (al27_12e.inp - ALINORM 04/27/12).)
Self-compatibility (SC) is the absence of genetic mechanisms which prevent self-fertilization resulting in plants that can reproduce successfully via both self-pollen and pollen from other individuals. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-incompatibility)
Volatile compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air, a trait known as volatility.

Cumin is the product prepared from “seeds” of Cuminum cyminum L. of the Apiaceae family having reached appropriate degree of development for processing; and processed in an appropriate manner, undergoing operations such as cleaning, drying, grinding, and sifting.

Microbial pesticides are microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, viruses) that are used to control a wide range of agricultural pests, including plant disease-causing microorganisms, fungi, insects, and weeds. (OECD 2022, https://www.oecd.org/chemicalsafety/pesticides-biocides/biological-pesticides.htm)
Olfaction – the sense of smell – is a form of chemoreception, the biological recognition of chemical stimuli, by which living organisms collect information about their environments. (https://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech////tracer-bullets/smelltb.html)
Note
Use "olfaction" for sense of smell, the physiological act or sensation of smelling. For the description of the charactistics of a product use odour <c_14344>,
