Part 7/9:
High-Polyphenol Oil (>1,500 mg/kg): Gave a robust burn in the throat lasting 10–15 seconds, indicating rich polyphenol content.
Moderate-Polyphenol Oils (~750 mg/kg & ~500 mg/kg): Had noticeable but milder throat burn, with subtle flavor differences.
Lower-Polyphenol Oils: Did not produce significant throat burn, suggesting less health-promoting compounds.
Key Observations
The most potent oils had a strong, immediate burn and a distinctive grassy aroma.
The "weak" oils lacked the characteristic burn and had less vibrant flavor profiles.
Certification and analysis confirmed that oils with higher polyphenol levels emitted a more pronounced burn and flavor.
