: "off-flavour" quiere decir que no tiene el sabor que debe. En este caso en concreto, no pierde el sabor, sino gana un sabor que no debe tener./Me temo que no he logrado abrir ninguno de los enlaces que has facilitado.

off-flavour/flavor
during my 4 years experience working in comparative sensorial analysis I have only seen and heard references to off-flavors. For example, the suggestion of sourness in a beer or the rancid taste of butter. Before its really gone "off" or bad, but has the beginning of the taste…

Sorry. I mean off-flavour is the term used in Spanish. Like they use target in advertising, penalty in football and so many other anglicismos like marketing et al.

: I've just seen your note and I must disagree. After many years in Spain and in the food service industry, I've never heard a Spaniard use this term. / You already have it, loud and clear.

mal sabor/sabor desagradable
Espero que te sirva.
Aquí te pongo un contexto en el que yo usaría esta traducción:
Although strains of nonpigmented Pseudomonas produce off-odors and off-flavors on spoiled poultry, initially, they are difficult to find on carcasses and P. putrefaciens (Shewanella putrefaciens) is rarely found.

: No necesariamente. Quiere decir que no tiene el sabor que debe.

¡Claro! Por eso fui específico y puse el contexto en el que yo lo he usado (de un pollo echado a perder por seudomonas). Es una forma de usarlo.
