I often get asked about odd smells in urine or feces so I thought I would put

this together as a short list to help. In part it comes from wikipedia and wine

tasting links. Keep this as a reference for your family health.

Acetaldehyde: Smell of roasted nuts or dried out straw.

Amyl-acetate: Sweet or Smell of " fake " candy banana flavoring

Brettanomyces: Smell of barnyards, fecal and gamey horse aromas

Diacetyl : Smell of rancid butter

Ethyl acetate : Smell of vinegar, paint thinner and nail polish remover

Hydrogen sulfide: Smell of rotten eggs or garlic that has gone bad

Iodine: Smell of moldy grapes

Lactic acid bacteria: Smell of sauerkraut

Mercaptans: Smell of burnt rubber and/or cooked cabbage

Sorbic acid plus lactic acid bacteria: Smell of crushed geranium leaves

Sulfur dioxide: Smell of burnt matches.
